Not everyone is able to do it…to get themselves to a point where they can understand and own their behaviors, decisions, and situations that have led them to the point they’re at.
When we talk about accountability, we’re talking about taking responsibility for not only things we’ve done right, but also for the mistakes we’ve made. These are distinct facts and conditions that you answer to by allowing and accepting feedback and constructive criticism from others and eventually yourself.
Our faults are the most difficult to come to terms with, especially when they effect and involve others. But being able to take accountability helps you improve your relationship with yourself and promotes self-growth towards a more purposeful and productive future. When people own their actions and behaviors they’re less likely to repeat mistakes from re-occurring.
Many people can get stuck as they recognize behaviors and decisions they’ve made and find themselves in a cycle of regret and stunting their growth personally and professionally. Taking accountability of things that have already happened is challenging, but it’s important for you to be easy on yourself for the reason that you’re looking to move forward, not hold yourself back. When you allow yourself to go through the process, you’ll be able to take on the challenges more effectively.
