Morning Wisdom: Personal Accountability

Personal accountability.
I used to suck at it.

Now I am less shitty. Hahah.

Still not good. Far from great. But it’s on my radar.

Before: you dropped the ball on this. Okay great. You’re right. I suck at that…. makes excuse (I was soooo busy), changes nothing and continues to not get result.

Now: you dropped the ball on this. Okay great. You’re right. I suck at that. What can I do to ensure that I don’t fuck it up next time. Sets reminder. Examines schedule. Writes it down.

Progress report check in: weigh around 188. Up about 8 pounds. Goal 195. Time left 2 weeks. Will I hit it? If I stop being a whiny little you know what, then yessir I still have time.

Personal responsibility means it’s on me to figure it out. Seems simple. Seems like something I should have realized before my 38th birthday but what can I say, I played the victim and waited for others to change instead of changing myself. Not in all areas but definitely in some major ones. It’s embarrassing but now owning it I feel empowered. I can control my outcomes not wait for someone else to change and then hope things get better!

I’m grateful for Gods grace and the grace of people that love me. I think when people know you truly love them and truly care about them, they tend to extend you grace when you fuck up because they know you mean well. However this can be detrimental to the person because they never have a consequence and they start to make a habit of dropping the ball. Then it becomes a pattern that is hard to break.

This is still new to me but it’s empowering and wanted to share my journey.

Where in your journey can you take more responsibility for your results? Nutrition? Your marriage? Your job?? Yep all of the above I’m sure.

Do some self reflections today on where you are not getting the results you want and ask yourself how can you change your current routines or environment to better achieve the results you truly desire.

Have a great day!
