"Only when you assume full accountability for your thoughts,feelings,actions, and results can you direct your own destiny: otherwise some one or something else will."
That message says a lot. Society is consantly changing, but being responsible of our actions and reactions is something that in this day and age....again is overlooked. It is an obligation, or willingness to accept responsibility. But is it an obligation to one's self or to society, or both? In some cases neither. Accountability breeds Responsibility. Take it up a step higher..."Moral conduct includes every thing in which men are active and for which they are accountable. They are active in their desires, their affections, their designs, their intentions, and in every thing they say and do of choice; and for all these things they are accountable to God."
- Nathaniel Emmons
"Perhaps nothing in our society is more needed for those in positions of authority than accountability. Too often those with authority are able (and willing) to surround themselves with people who support their decisions without question."
Accounatability comes in different levels from political to personal, in all aspects of life, work,school,personal, etc. The way we conduct our lives, has an impact on others. You can cause somone to be affected in a negative fashion, by our words alone. To what degree, is different to each individual. You are accountable for that...you may not even know it. You are being watched, by people at times, but more importantly by God.
Romans 14:12 says, "So then each of us shall give account of himself to God." This is personal accountability.
Are you accountable?
