RESPONSIBILITY & ACCOUNTABILITY & LEVELS OF SELF-RESPECT – A BELL CURVE

This week’s BELL CURVE focuses on RESPONSIBILITY & ACCOUNTABILITY & LEVELS OF SELF-RESPECT

I have said it before and I will continue to say it, in any manner possible when it comes to holding yourself ACCOUNTABLE and RESPONSIBLE.

In this case, I am addressing YOUR level of SELF-RESPECT. Just like being transparent and forthcoming, the same applies when it comes to Accountability and Responsibility. The more you accept responsibility and hold yourself accountable for the actions you took, the actions you did not take, for the things you said, and for the things you did not say the more you will start to understand yourself.

When it comes to understanding yourself, your level of SELF-RESPECT increases.
Increasing your level of SELF-RESPECT will work towards becoming a better person, a better human being.

There are far too many individuals that maintain an average level of SELF-RESPECT in that at any moment, they could raise their level. Then again, they are more apt to lower that level for any number of reasons or for no reason at all, to include not knowing any better.

Lowering that level of SELF-RESPECT is easy when people are constantly and consistently NOT held accountable for their actions (either in words or deeds or both). Yet, by raising your level of SELF-RESPECT as with anything else that makes you feel good about yourself you will work hard to stay ABOVE AVERAGE.

But, saying to others that you are ABOVE AVERAGE is truthfully, below average speak. It is in your actions and doing that speak louder than words ever will. To make the process of being ABOVE AVERAGE easier and faster to achieve, certainly helps when you are actively and undeniably holding yourself ACCOUNTABLE & accepting RESPONSIBILITY for yourself, all the time and without fail.

Future Relationship & The Common Denominator – A Chart

This week’s CHART focuses on FUTURE RELATIONSHIPS & THE COMMON DENOMINATOR

We have all had good relationships and bad relationship. Some people hit a homerun and finally have GREAT RELATIONSHIPS. While others are doomed to terrible relationships or so it seems.

Usually, those individuals that somehow have knack for finding themselves in a “bad romance” or two or three or twelve will always push the reason for the failure of the relationship unto the other individual.

All the while missing the KEY COMPONENT in the failed relationships, the COMMON DENOMINATOR: Them.
For those that are not sure what I am talking about. Well, let’s define COMMON DENOMINAOR. The common denominator is defined as “a feature shared by all members of a group.”

So, there is you, Person A, in a failed relationship with Person B. Then there is you, Person A, in a failed relationship with Person C. Next, there is you, Person A, in a failed relationship with Person D. Sometime soon, there will be you, Person A, in a failed relationship with Person E. Of course, almost immediately is you, Person A, in a failed relationship with Person F and so on, ad nauseum.

Thus, out of the SIX examples of failed relationships, the common denominator is Person A, that’s right, YOU!

The sooner you realize you are the cause of the failed relationships the sooner you can move on to fix yourself and fix your future. Otherwise, please continue to keep picking the RIGHT people to have Bad Relationships with.

TRANSPARENCY + FORTHCOMING = SELF-RESPECT

This week’s BELL CURVE focuses on TRANSPARENCY + FORTHCOMING = SELF-RESPECT

There is a certain level of SELF-RESPECT one can achieve when they are Transparent and Forthcoming. This level of SELF-RESPECT comes for the ability of the individual not having to be a caretaker of their lies and who they told what.

The individual that is NOT transparent and NOT forthcoming is someone that honestly believes they are pulling the wool over someone’s eyes. They most certainly are not.

However, the individuals that have lower levels of SELF-RESPECT have it because they are VAIN. Vain in the sense that they honestly believe they can tell lies with impunity and actually people will believe them (without fail or question).

That vanity and ego will take those individuals only so far. Their lies and falsehoods will almost be exposed. Usually, the individual telling the lies is the one that exposes themselves. Either they forget the lies they tell or the forget who they tell and that leads to their downfall.

By ensuring that words like transparency and forthcoming mean more to the individual than some words you can find in the dictionary. By accepting that being transparent and forthcoming there is no need to come up with lies and then having to remember which lie you told and to whom.

Actively pursuing a life of transparency & being forthcoming increases your quality of life. It moves you from an average individual to someone that can be trusted to tell the truth, which is a must in living as an Above Average Life. It also, increases your level of SELF-RESPECT. Once you recognize that you no longer have to lie or mislead others, you will find that life becomes easier and you will work hard not to go back to that way of existing.

The last word: Waiting to be found out is NOT a good way to exist.
