The Power of Accountability
It will change your life
Many of us go through our days with more to do than time allows. There is always that next thing, that next project we need to tackle. Our minds can become so preoccupied with all we have to do that we give little time to think about what we could and should do. Why is this? Let’s find out.
The power of accountability
Did you know there is real power in accountability? What is accountability exactly? I love the concise definition of the word in the Oxford Languages dictionary:
“accountability — noun: the fact or condition of being accountable; responsibility.”
Accountability is more than being responsible for something. It is also about being responsible for ourselves and what we do or do not do. As is true for responsibility, the more you are willing to be accountable, the more mature you become.
Things have not changed much in the last 300 years since a well-known playwright and actor wrote:
“It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable.” Molière (1622–1673)
