Taking accountability for our lives: Recognizing we have the power to make changes and take control, even in the face of challenges, leads to personal growth and happiness.
Accountability is a powerful tool for personal growth and happiness. According to Gary, when we take responsibility for our lives and the circumstances in it, we gain a sense of control and empowerment. This doesn't mean that we're to blame for everything that happens to us, but rather that we focus on what we can do to improve our situation. By putting accountability on a pedestal and refusing to blame external factors or others, we can live a more fulfilling and liberating life. It's important to recognize that we all have subconscious biases and deal with them, rather than making excuses or complaining. Ultimately, taking accountability means recognizing that we have the power to make changes and take control of our lives, even when faced with external challenges or setbacks.

Focusing on what we can control and taking responsibility for it can unlock happiness and a sense of control in our lives.
