Accountability and trust: In this reflection, we delve deep into one of the most pivotal aspects of life—commitments. We seek to understand how we condition ourselves to meet or break commitments, and we explore potential routes toward greater personal accountability.
In connection to coaching, I would gauge the degree of commitment to desired actions on a numerical scale. Because it reflects the energy we’re willing to put into accomplishing the goal. The struggle comes when we fail to meet these commitments. The idea is not to harshly chide ourselves but to seek a rational path to get things done.
The key lies in being conscious of the promises we make. Ensuring not to create an environment of broken trust, particularly with children.
Accountability and trust
We have all met people who will meet their commitments at all costs, come hell or high water. At the same time, there are some people in life who never do what they say they will. We need to tread the middle path, where it’s acceptable to relish successes but also come to terms with difficulties.
When we don’t meet our commitments, we must be honest with ourselves and inform those affected in good time—this serves the dual purpose of respecting their requirements and affirming our integrity. Breaking internal commitments impacts our trust in ourselves, causing us to question our capabilities.
The solution lies in setting micro-commitments, which enable us to gradually build faith in our abilities without overwhelming ourselves. Repeatedly successful completion of these commitments reinstates our internal trust, proving we’re capable of meeting and being accountable to self-set goals.
This enlightening discussion attempts to shed light on commitment, accountability, and self-trust in the context of personal evolution and the journey toward self-improvement. If these reflections resonate or if you’ve found this episode insightful, kindly share it with a friend, as that’s how we grow our versatile and inspiring community.
