CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Accountability. This is a tough one. Here’s what Q Source has to say about it:
“Submission To Standard Through Enforcement and Consequence
The HIM seeks Accountability because his life is not his own.
No matter how dedicated or deliberate a HIM is in the building of his Guardrails, there will be some stretches of his road that he will not be able to shore up through his own Bricklaying. These are a man’s Blind Spots , the hard-wired gaps in his nature that he cannot protect without help.”
“The Survivor is ruled by his Blind Spots. Like an insatiable parasite they slowly suck the life out of him. The Sad Clown softly submits to his Blind Spots, seeking to uncomfortably coexist with them long enough to die without ever having to asking for help eradicating them. His is a life of solitary denial and Hopelessness.
The HIM is different. Because he is a Servant who lives for his Mission, he treats his Blind Spots like any other Obstacle in his life–as a Problem that impedes Movement. Because a Problem can and must be remedied, the HIM does so by seeking Accountability. For a Blind Spot, that is the only thing that works. Although this requires him to admit his Problem to others, the HIM presses forward because his pride and sense of self are less important than the people he Serves.
After all, because he is Living Third, his life is not his own.
Accountability shines the light of Hope into a man’s Blind Spots.”
The need for accountability is hardwired and we only seek it out when we know for sure that we can’t accelerate on our own and we’re actually drowning without help. When life goes sideways, when we get sloppy, we remember what the bricklaying and guardrails are for. And when we realize that we can’t do it on our own – “we are powerless to change” – then we reach out for help. This is where I am. I am a mess – with just enough brain cells to know that I need help. This requires honesty that I don’t want because it will expose my vulnerability. I find this in each circle of my life: between God and myself, my wife and myself, my 2.0s and my community. So I am reaching out to our Shield Lock because I need help and need someone to know it. There are other ways that I reach out for help: counseling, friendship, reading books and practices that help me slow down and look inside. We’re not losers because we need help. We’re actually hardwired to need help.
