Example: I want to lose weight. So...at the beginning of every month...year... I commit myself to eating healthy and working out. Yet every chance I get, I skip my workouts and continue to indulge in eating without limits.
Sound familiar? (lol) Even if it's not, I'm sure you can relate to something similar.... a goal not reached, a status not attained, all due to YOU and your bad decisions.
I want you to realize that your choice in decision making sometimes drives unnecessary and unwanted obstacles your way. It's not always karma or the devil.....it's simply YOU making it harder on your already complicated life. But how many of us own up to that? How many times has something happened and we said, "...this is my fault. I'm the reason why this happened."
Not often enough.
For some reason, people feel like holding themselves accountable makes them less credible. That's far from the truth. Acknowledging your wrongs, taking responsibility for your actions.....that BUILDS your character. It means right or wrong, I am going to recognize the role that I've played. AND....in the event that I was wrong, I'm going to be transparent enough to not only admit that I did it, but apologize and fix it. (if I can)
It takes a strong person to admit their faults.
But on this busy road to success....the road that almost everyone is currently on....Accountability is not only necessary, but needed. We need more transparency and less cover ups. We need more humbleness and less pride. And most importantly, we need to be able to differentiate between a true obstacle or a bad decision. So...... the next time you're ready to blame fault...think about, was it YOU or is this a life obstacle you are preparing for! The answer may surprise you...
...Extend some Grace. Share some Love. And Let's A.C.E. (Affirm, Change and Elevate) 2024!
