Accountability – Characteristic / Virtue of the Week

Be the change you wish to see in the world – make a difference.

How to use this card:

Being mindful of a virtue each day will change your world and ours.

• Read this card each morning.
• At the end of each day take five minutes to reflect on your behaviour in regard to this virtue.
• Acknowledge yourself for how you displayed this virtue, or if you had the opportunity to practice the virtue and didn’t, then ask yourself what you would do differently next time – use it as a learning.
• You will find that over time you become much more in control of your feelings & emotions and grow emotionally, intellectually & spiritually stronger day by day.

How to practice Accountability:

• Keep your promises – did you promise to catch up with someone, or make contact recently and still need to do so? Go ahead and pick up the phone so you can make it happen.
• Is there something that you promised yourself you would do and have taken the necessary action? Get your finances in order, declutter a particular area in your home, take time out by doing something you love or something else?
• If something is bothering you and is on your mind consider what action you have, or have not taken to contribute to the situation – how accountable were you in overcoming, or contributing to this issue? Consider how you can change it.
