Accountability

Humans make mistakes. We all do. I cringe when I remember some of the mistakes I have made. However, as we grow and mature one marker of maturity is accepting our mistakes, working to learn from our mistakes and making effort to correct our mistakes.

In relationships- we might say something hurtful. Admit it. Apologize. Make some effort to repair the relationship. Practice thinking before speaking in the future. Grow in your ability to be in relationship!

In employment- admit our error. Learn from the error. Slow down perhaps. Evaluate process. Make effort to be accurate in future. Grow in your professional role!

In government- Admit the error. Study the process and learn how the error occurred. Make effort to restore and correct whatever damage was done. Grow in trust, responsibility and reputation! At the moment we ALL in every way need to Grow and show Maturity. I know there are ideological differences, however, mistakes need to be owned up to no matter WHO or WHAT we are talking about.

If you struggle to own up to personal failings counseling can help you build your skills to apply in all areas of your life. Hiding failings and mistakes is not helpful and will keep you from becoming all you can be. Give us a call.
