Accountable to Each Other
He who listens to reproof acquires understanding. Proverbs 15:32
People who are accountable usually have four qualities:
Vulnerablity - capable of being wounded, shown to be wrong, even admitting it before confronted.
Teachability - a willingness to learn, being quick to hear and respond to reproof, being open to counsel.
Availability - accessible, touchable, able to be interrupted.
Honesty - committed to the truth regardless how much it hurts, a willingness to admit the truth no matter how difficult or humiliating the admission may be. Hating all that is phony or false.
That's a tough list!...Today we need others to hold us accountable. Sometimes an objective opinion will reveal a blind spot. Sometimes we may simply need a sounding board to help keep us on target. Just remember - not one of us is an island. We need one another.
From the book: Living Above the Level of Mediocrity.

i'm going to quote rachel from friends when i say "imagine the worst things you think about yourself, and then imagine the person you care about the most thinking the same things."
