Accountability Defined

Accountability is living by choice rather than living by accident. Accountability is the opportunity to carve out the future rather than sit back and have it happen to you. Without accountability, there is no committed speech, there are no promises and no declarations. Therefore, there are no breakthroughs. There is, at best, business as usual or the status quo.

A promise for which you are accountable has power. A promise made from the stand that you are your word engages you as a participant. You cease to be a spectator in your life as your words and actions impact the world. With a promise, you create a condition that supports your commitment rather than your moods.

When you are accountable to your promises you are your word; thus, your relationship to the world shifts. You find yourself producing results in all areas of your life. The experience is one of joy, fearlessness, irrepressible energy and satisfaction.
