28 Days of Gratitude: Day Seventeen - Accountability

http://www.coach2clarity.com/accountability/

I function best with deadlines.  Expectations from others are often great motivators.  However it helps when the expectations are in line with my desires and ambitions.  I guess what I treasure most is being held accountable for things I want to accomplish; not what others think I should accomplish.  I know, that's a bit egocentric and maybe a little selfish.  But then perhaps it is time.  It is time to be accountable...to myself.

There's the rub.  How do I hold myself accountable to myself when I know myself so well and can always find ways to make allowances or excuses.  To be accountable, I guess others might need to be involved.  Kind of like this blog.  I think there are people out there reading this daily (or semi-daily or even occaisionally going on a binge catch up session) and so I think to myself, if I do not write this blog every day of the 28 days of my exploration of gratitude, then I will have failed.

That is accountability.  That, then I why I grateful today (and every day) for the ever so personally defined manner of being held accountable.  Amen.
