Accountability Thoughts: Reclaiming your Power from the Source
The Art of Conflict Resolution
“The spirit of conflict resolution really begins with investigating the expectations and meaning we as individuals have assumed around the perceived outcome of behaviors and events. In other words, what we think should happen is based on our own set of rules and interpretations around our core beliefs of what we are accountable for.” Hal Tipper - The Bridge
From: Power Vs Force - The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior David R. Hawkins MD., Ph.D. Page 238 - "The most important element in facilitating an upward movement in consciousness is an attitude of willingness. On the scale of consciousness, there are two critical points that allow for major advancement. The first is at 200, the initial level of empowerment. Here, the willingness to stop blaming and accept responsibility for one's own actions, feelings and beliefs arises. As long as cause and responsibility are projected outside oneself, one will remain in the powerless mode of victimhood. The second is at the 500 level, which is reached by accepting love and nonjudgemental forgiveness as a lifestyle."
Gay and Kathlyn Hendrix summarize Accountability brilliantly in " Loving Relationship Tips ". Copyright Gay and Kathlyn Hendrix
Relationships thrive in a climate of 100% accountability, where nobody blames and nobody claims to be the victim. One hundred percent accountability is the shift from "I was wronged" to "I take full responsibility for events occurring the way they did." From this empowered position, problems can be solved quickly, because time and energy are not squandered in a fruitless attempt to find fault in yourself or others. When any relationship problem occurs, claim responsibility for having created it the way it occurred. Wonder about how and why you might have wanted it to occur that way.
