Reflection
In conflicting situations, personal accountability allows us to take responsibility for how we contribute to a conflict and then make a different choice that can lead to a peaceful resolution. |
|
Affirmation
As adults, we must take responsibility for what we say and do not say, what we do and do not do. It is for each of these choices that we are accountable. Today I take responsibility for my choices, my words and my actions. |
Daily Action
Be accountable for your words. Make a list of every thought you think and every word you speak that is violent (e.g. judgmental, critical, unkind, diminishing). Each time you become aware, take a deep breath and gently remind yourself of your intention to move towards nonviolence in thought and speech. |

Action for Teens
Be accountable for your words and actions today. Make a note of where you are in your life. Are you being violent in some way….physically, verbally, emotionally? Be willing to take responsibility for changing those behaviours today. Action for Children Today (and everyday) take responsibility for your words and actions and do not blame others for the choices that you make. |
Quotes
“It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable.” ~ Moliere “Accountability separates the wishers in life from the action-takers that care enough about their future to account for their daily actions.” ~ John Di Lemme |
