Accountability. The word means: the quality or state of being accountable; especially: an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions. : the quality or state of being accountable; especially: an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions
Oh this is a word I have used and heard a LOT!
As a mom, taxi driver, Dr. of booboos, chef, financial everything, hair dresser, secretary, counselor, teacher, ect., ect., ect. It would be easy to blame someone else for everything that goes wrong in my life! Phew, pass the buck and be done right? Well here's what happens when you do that. The problem goes unresolved! You can not fix a problem in your life unless you first agree to what your part in it is, it would be like putting a band aid on a cut that should of had 12 stitches!
The only thing that can be harder than being unaccountable yourself, is to have a spouse or close loved one that is not accountable. It is hard to say "you know what I screwed up"! but it hurts people around you if you don't "admit" to your part. When everyone takes accountability for there portion, you can come together and start to problem solve, heal and move on.
Making TRUE changes in our life is HARD! We WILL fail miserably from time to time, we just need to get back up and keep moving FORWARD!
