accountability is one of the hardest things to practice, and that holds true for everyone.

It's a natural reaction when we screw up to go to blame, blame other people, to live in shame

from all the times we've made those mistakes, and justification.

And I would say it's one of the more difficult things to practice, but also to teach, also to execute upon. It is also the number one reason people have

a need to be offended is when people go to blame, shame, and justification.

So there's a compounding effect in this idea of surrounding ourselves with accountable people.

And I think we will learn today.

Accountability is one of the hardest things to teach and to practice, but accountability is also one of the most misunderstood things, and it is also one of the

most powerful. It is the transition of power and force in our lives.

Too often, like I mentioned,

we reduce it to blame, to shame,

to justification in forms of punishment

or some sort of legal responsibility. We confuse accountability with liability,

as if owning our own role, participation in the procession means admitting fault or taking on an unnecessary weight.

But accountability isn't about guilt, resentment, or separation.

It's about awareness.
