Do your mind asks too many questions for your action? So you feel guilty if you fail to meet your goal? Do you hesitate to do anything which crosses your ethical limit? Then, embrace yourself. Because you made yourself accountable for your action and response!
We all have some sort of accountability. But it varies from person to person and works differently as well. The thing is, making ourselves accountable is not as simple as it sounds. It's much more than just being accountable to our inner feeling. Most of us, even I struggle to make myself accountable many times. And sometimes intentionally avoid things.
So, let's talk how can we make ourselves more accountable?
Before you make yourself accountable, you have to know your responsibilities first, right? So, point out what you intend to achieve. Then make the detailed plan. Keep a to-do list as per in your mind or write it down. And check if you meet it or not.
Be with the people who count on you. Like your family member or any friend. They will make you feel responsible for your actions.
Keep a journal if possible. Put a tick mark on what you achieved and what not. Check it every single day to be on the track.
And last but not the least, be true to yourself and answer to yourself. If you fail, it's okay. But don't deny to yourself, accept it and find the best way to achieve your goals.
Our lives would be messy if we have no accountability. It's very necessary to keep ourselves accountable to be ethical, to be right, to be on the right track and more importantly to achieve what we wanted.
