Self accountability is a powerful thing. If you cannot or do not hold yourself accountable, you will not be successful at holding others accountable.

"someone asked me the other day, if i've ever figured out why i was depressed when i was younger. as much as i would've hated to admit at the time, all i wanted was to make my parents proud. and every time i failed or let them down, it was easier to say that it was some fundamental part of me that i couldn't change than acknowledge the mountain of change i was going to have to overcome to be happy."

I’m watching this video to find some kind of enlightenment on my lack of self accountability. I’m 19 struggling with baggage & trauma from my past & it’s effecting my relationships with family & the man who to be life partners with. I wish everyone growth who’s struggling as well

I'm 35, and I recently realised that I've been blaming a lot of people, situations and external factors for where I am in life.

My determination is to combine self care with personal accountability to reach my goal and improve my personal outlook.

It is called evolving. How do you grow if don't conquer your flaws? Being selfless and liberating yourself from opinions and learning how to be vulnerable is how you get there.

5:18 "and if you were to ask him is there a goal in your life that you're working towards right now, he would say yes. But, you look at where he is now vs where he was six month ago, he's in worse place now. And if you look a year ago, the change is even more drastic. The hardest part about change is acknowledging that we have to do it. Admitting to ourselves that the actions were doing are not gonna lead us to where we want to go" <3 THANKS!!!!

I broke down during this video because I realize how changes I have to makes as person I don’t know how but I’m willing to make the changes and sacrifices to become a better person even though it will take adversity and many challenges

[Kristiana-mblk]

I take account for my actions that have influenced the suffering of others.

Thank you for this video.

Accountability is the ultimate grown up move that many never make. To acknowledge the role you played in a situation good or bad is to show empathy for yourself and others. It means to realize that the facade of always being right is just that - a facade. To so many Americans, being accountable for the way their actions effect others is a lesson never learned!!

[TonettaClay]

A great message. Holding yourself accountable and taking responsibility is one of the major keys in life. Thanks for this video. It's helping me think about some things I need to work on.

[UrbanSipfly]

Accountability is a deed that experience says we must do and become.

[courtneylane]

This video randomly popped up and I clicked on it. It was like going to church after a week of having something on your mind and the pastor was talking about you. Nice.
