Accountability means being responsible for one's action. It can also be referred to as being responsible for giving feedback of an action or work done.
As an individual, you are accountable for how far you go in life. Your perspective towards life determines how far you go.
The condition and status of your future is in your hands. It takes determination and hard work to attain success. The set of people you carry along on your way to success can either pull you down or push you forward. Success cannot be attained through mere declaration or dreams. It is through serious effort, determination, hard work and prayer.
Effort: A man was once working but was not putting more effort on his job. His business began to fall while he kept on complaining. Any income he is receiving from his business was not used to put the business in place or in good shape, but was kept in the bank. Why on earth will a man with business strategy drop his money in the bank when he has many things to buy for his business to get money? When you are not making income means you are not putting more effort to bring business into good shape.
Determination: Be determined in whatever you are doing because determination is the mother of success. A boy who grew up in a poor home happens to manage himself until he met up with his success. He was dropped out of higher institution just because of lack of money to pay his school fees. He had determination to be great in life and become a successful businessman. Since he has been dropped out of school, he never gave up but kept up with a little start.
He started hawking pure water, which gave little money to fend for his siblings and his parent. He was able to save some part of his income and after some years, he discovered that people in his town always go to a nearby town to buy ice bucket in bulk. So, he decided to buy a deep freezer from his savings, including a generator. The boy was able to rent a small shop where he sells ice blocks. He did it for a year and had enough money where he later opened a cold room where people from other villages and even in the nearby towns were also coming to buy from his cold room. This made him greater and, to be sincere, his dream of becoming a successful businessman came true.
Determination is the mother of success.
Hard work: Hard work pays. To be sincere, looking at the story above, the boy was determined to make it in life. He worked so hard to bring his dream to reality. Success is not for the lazy ones, but for those who are ready to work very hard. Once you sit at a spot expecting Manners from above without getting up to work so hard to bring your dreams to reality, you can even make it. Success does not come to you at home without working for it.
Prayer: prayer is the key. We should not forget to pray whatever we are doing or whatever we get ourselves involved in. It may take longer time for your prayers to be answered, but we must not stop praying.
A man who God has blessed so much decided to forsake God after acquiring much wealth. He never prayed any longer after his Wealth. His wife always call him for prayers but will boldly tell his wife that, he no longer needs Prayers because he has been blessed bountifully. He added that Prayer is for the poor and also for the needy. As time goes on, God made his face to change from who he was to a neutral person. He was rejected, and even his wife and children could no longer recognize him. He was seen as an unknown person. The fact remains that, he was a popular guy who many people know so well.
He supposed to sign a document, but when he left the house, the gate man was the first person to reject him. He was thrown out of his house by his family. God visited in his dream that he rejected him after giving him what he needed in life. God told him that this is a sign to show he, God, is more powerful, and he is the one who gives, and he must not be forsaken. He later became who they knew him to be and went home to meet his family, who has been looking for him for about two weeks. Since then, he became a changed person who always pray to God before leaving home.
Be sure to always be accountable to whatever you are doing to live a successful life.
This is my second post on @JonicaBradley prompt word "success".
Pray for the right attitude and the strength. We can only do so much but with God on our side, we will be able to do more.
