The 5 A’s of Change - Step 4: Accountability
Let’s talk about the pivot point of all growth: Accountability.
Not punishment. Not pressure. Not shame.
True accountability is about ownership. Ownership of your thoughts. Your time. Your energy. Your next step.
It’s the moment you say:
“I may not have chosen all of this, but I do choose what I do next.”
Accountability is where your power returns. Not because everything is under control, but because you’re leading yourself forward.
Accountability doesn’t ask you to be perfect. It invites you to be consistent. To notice when you’re off track and decide to come back. To take aligned action even when motivation is low. To remember that your goals aren’t waiting on external permission—they’re waiting on your presence.
This step is where clarity becomes commitment.
