Accountable for the Good

For whatever backward reason, I've always been ultra accountable for the things that I need to own and change and grow with.  But I am woefully lacking in accountability for the things about me that are awesome or the good that I deliberately work on.  Those, too…. I need to own.

I am inherently decent. 

What good are you willing to be accountable for today?

Re: Accountable for the Good

Well, considering I am woefully poor at holding myself accountable for the things that hold me back and challenge based on my deep seeded fears of the word 'worse', today I am going to hold myself accountable for the moments between the music.  I am going to hold myself accountable for the peace that comes on a quiet Saturday morning with my dogs at my feet, my coffee in my hand and some music playing.  I will hold myself accountable for reconginzing and doing my best to wrap myself in them.

I really like that.  Nice images.

I think today I am going to hold myself accountable to not only being able to be there to listen when someone needs to talk, but also the open hearted manner I am capable of offering with it.

Re: Accountable for the Good

This seems like a strange place to put this but the thought that came to me was that I am accountable for the good of focuding on my life path and not accountable for focusing on someone else’s choices.

The more I tend my own garden the clearer a reflection I can be for those I share time with. And then i can listen tothem and offer support without personal opinions. There is a situation in my life where I am keeping myself in the emotional place that feels good to me, and listening to someone else without rushing in and trying to “fix” them.

Accountable to myself, yes. That is good.

Love,

I love this, Elena!  You're in such a good place.  When we allow others to be held accountable to their own life, respect is fully honored in that.

This is awesome!

Re: Accountable for the Good

i would like to be accountable for the good of being a powerful leader and force for change in the world.

not everyone understands or is comfortable with catalyst-people - especially in the church, some people dislike and fear me, and want to pretend i'm smaller or less than i am, so that they don't feel so inadequate.

i will continue to be myself today, without apology, my head up and smiling! :)

love,
