Accountability is the willingness to accept responsibility for every choice.  It is acting with integrity— doing what we say we will do.  When we make a mistake, we do not seek to hide it or avoid it.  We need the courage to face it willingly.

“Mastering others is strength;

mastering yourself is true power.”

Lao Tzu – 6th Century BC

Accountability is the glue that ties commitment to results.

“Wisdom stems from personal accountability.

We all make mistakes; own them… learn from them.

Don’t throw away the lesson by blaming others.”

~ Steve Maraboli

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.
