How Do I Hold Myself Accountable?
This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes fromย someone who wishes to remain anonymous.ย
How do I keep myself accountable to my goals and deadlines I set? Should I hire a coach, or is there a way to do it myself?
Part of this is, Iโm doing something I donโt really love to do. I have a family and responsibilities that arenโt going away. What I really want to do is educate people and help them change their lives.
People often ask me, โHow do I control my mindset? How do I hold myself accountable?โ
This question always indicates that a person is doing something they donโt want to do.
If youโre doing something you love and you WANT to do it โ then you wouldnโt need to be โheld accountable.โ You would just get up every day, and do it. Youโd do it to the best of your ability.
We only have this problem when weโre doing something we donโt want to doโฆ OR if weโre afraid of it.
Which one is it for you? Is it something you donโt love? Or something youโre afraid of?
If you donโt love what youโre doingโฆ ask yourself: โWhy am I continuing to do something I donโt really love?โ
Why canโt you do what you love AND meet your responsibilities?
Ask yourself: โWhat do I love to do?โ Figure out how to bridge the gap between doing what you โhaveโ to do and doing what you LOVE to do.
When we donโt have a passion in life that means everything to us โ any fear will stop us.
When you pick the thing you love to do the most, youโll crawl over a mountain to get it done. The courage and enthusiasm will show up, allowing you to conquer any fear.
When youโre doing something you love, you donโt need a coach to get past the fear.
If you really want to help people โ find one person every day that you could help in some way. You can help them with absolutely anything.
You can do this without thinking about business, clients, customers, or charging anyone.
Start embracing this gift in all areas of your life. If you go to the gas station, ask someone, โIs there something I can do for you today to make your day great?โ
Give people gifts, smile at them, tell them they look amazing. Over-tip someone. Find ways to be a benefit to every person you come in contact with.
Youโre not doing it for acknowledgement. Youโre doing it because thatโs your purpose in life.
This will get you in touch with the side of yourself that you are suppressing โ that says, โI canโt do what I love, because of all the responsibilities I have.โ
If you really want to help people, it wonโt matter what it is. Find people to help every day.
