JD – Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. – Jim Rohn

EB – The most important quality I look for in a teammate is accountability. You have to be accountable for who you are. It’s easy to blame things on someone else. – Lenny Wilkens

JM – Alcohol and calculus don’t mix. Never drink and derive.

JW – Our nature consists of motion, complete rest is death. – Blaire Pascal

Accountability…..maybe a bad word in some circles.

When someone else holds us accountable, most of us (or is it just me) tend to get a bit defensive.

As I get older, I am realizing more and more a profound truth: the world does not revolve around me. (I know, you should probably have to pay to receive this kind of genius)

Since the world doesn’t revolve around me, it becomes important that I understand and appreciate what other people have to offer.

And part of what others offer is a different view on myself. Being accountable to someone else isn’t about submitting your will to theirs or about them being “better” than you.

It is about taking a more objective look at yourself in order to become the best you possible.

If you want to do your best, embrace accountability.

Think of the most important goal in your life right now. Find someone to hold you accountable to make forward progress.

Make it a great weekend.
