Someone’s watching

Someone’s watching. Accountability. With whom you can sort and I will tell you who you are if I know how you spend your time and I know what might become.

— from Failure & Resilience (Challenge/Failure/Perseverance/Accountability/Flexibility/Resilience) · Better than Before - By Gretchen Rubin

In the book

Fail well. Take responsibility even when it isn't your fault; run the three black-box questions — what did I do, what could I have done, what will I do next time; then accept, learn, commit, and repair; taking that responsibility is not a burden but the very thing that turns into empowerment, control, and eventual success. Make yourself accountable on purpose. Volunteer for it rather than waiting to be caught, and use the plain power of knowing someone is watching — accountability to another keeps you honest when your own resolve wavers. Refuse to catastrophize. Treat setbacks as temporary, look for the upside, and remember the struggle is universal, not a verdict on you alone. — Failure & Resilience (Challenge/Failure/Perseverance/Accountability/Flexibility/Resilience)
