Whenever we are showing up in the world, whether it be in our business, in our careers in our relationships we have responsibility and accountability for our actions.
Whilst it’s imperative that we stay true to ourselves, that we connect in with who we are, and operate from a place of authenticity, to our own beliefs, our values, and our own true self, what’s more, important is that we are willing to accept the consequences of standing in our authenticity. That we are were willing to follow through on what we say we’re going to do.
When it comes to being aligned and authentic, we have to ask ourselves, will I be happy with the result or the outcome with this particular action? Can I live with this? Will I be happy with the course of how my actions will roll out? Will I take responsibility and accountability for how this decision, choice, or action will play out?
Quite often, we can get caught up in the need to be aligned, then need to be true and authentic to ourselves, the to align with our beliefs and values but then when we are challenged to follow through on this we abandon ourselves, we are not willing to back ourselves, we are not willing to take responsibility and accountability.
We disown the part of us that says “Yes” to authenticity because we fear the consequences, we are not willing to follow through, we are being incongruent.
If we’re willing to show up in the world, authentically and in full alignment, then we should absolutely take accountability for everything that flows on from that particular standpoint, a willingness to face all of it, to back ourselves 100% because that’s true authenticity.
That’s called standing in our power.
True courage and faith is saying “I’m going to take this align action because that is what is aligned for me and I am going to take full responsibility for what rolls out as a response to that action and I am okay with that”.
I trust myself and I believe in myself, and I’m fully aligned in that.
Where we come unstuck is that when we say we are going to follow through on our truth, values, and what we believe in, and then we don’t follow it through right to the end, we bail on ourselves, abandon ship halfway through.
Real alignment is when you make a decision and then you follow through on that decision and take full responsibility and accountability for it and make no apologies or excuses for that.
Not just standing in your truth whilst it feels good and then when it gets uncomfortable, or you have to take accountability or responsibility for that alignment, that you bail on yourself because you can’t hold the consequences, that’s not true alignment.
That is being incongruent. You’re accountable only to a point, you’re going to take responsibility to a point, and you’re going to abandon ship when it gets really difficult or gets too hard.
Be willing to stand in your truth and in your power and hold responsibility and accountability for that.
