the importance of being accountable for your actions. We all have a responsibility for our own actions, and we should always be aware that we are in control of what we do, say and think. No one can take away our power to choose from us, but there is a lot of pressure on us to make the right choice and sometimes it’s hard to know what that is. How can we make sure we’re taking enough responsibility?
What Does Accountability Mean to You
Accountability is the ongoing commitment to take responsibility for what you say, do, and think.
What does this mean?
It’s about being the best you that you can be in every moment. It means taking responsibility for your thoughts, words and actions – past, present- or future.
And it also means admitting when you make a mistake (even if someone points it out) and making amends by doing something to make up for what has happened. Accountability shows integrity on your part; demonstrating trustworthiness by living up to the professed values of yourself; never claiming more than credit deserved; recognizing an obligation to complete tasks initiated on one’s own accord.
