I do not deny the assassination attempt being real, something like that should never happen to anybody, and it was not a conspiracy or a stunt, but even by a hair the bullet missed.

Pat Summitt said, “Accountability is essential to personal growth, as well as team growth…If you don’t admit a mistake and take responsibility for it, you’re bound to make the same one again.”

Success doesn't happen without accountability.

The best teams don't just talk about accountability, they build it into their daily habits.

Accountability is not only what you do, but it's also what you don't do.

You either set the standard or allow it to happen.

6 Steps To Building Accountability In Your Culture
1. Envision The Standard
Know what you want, believe in it, and make it a priority. Be clear and specific about what you want and why you want it. You have to have a crystal clear vision of what you're working towards.

2. Set The Standard
Set clear expectations for yourself and others.
• What does success look like?
• What are the rules?
• Write it all down and communicate it
When you have a clear standard, you have a roadmap to follow, and it makes accountability much easier.

3. Demonstrate The Standard
Lead by example. Leaders know the way and show the way. If you want others to follow your lead, you have to walk the walk. Show the world what accountability looks like. Live and breathe the standard you've established.

4. Adopt The Standard
Get on board with accountability. Make it a part of your daily routine, mindset, and way of life. Accountability is a process and a journey when putting it into the culture. Communicate the expectations and evaluate when people aren’t adopting the standard.

5. Accept The Standard
Good cultures are where the coach enforces the standard. Great cultures are where leaders enforce the standard.
• Encourage others to embrace accountability
• Share your success
• Inspire others
• Create a culture of responsibility

6. Adhere To The Standard
Hold yourself and others accountable. When the standard is not met, take action.
• Celebrate success
• Make adjustments
Your culture is a living, breathing organism. Feed it, listen to it, and build it over time and you will be amazed at how it grows.

This woman is evil.

I despise divorce. But if a woman chooses to divorce her husband after he commits adultery, the consequences of the divorce isn’t primarily her fault, it’s her husband’s fault.

Christians should have nothing to do with these evil, Red pill people.

Healing can’t be rushed. It takes both time and honesty.

We need to feel what we feel.
We need to think through what we need to think through.
We need to get it all out and sort it all out.

Introverts hate small talk. It kills them. Teach them something. Tell them about your life experiences. Lessons you've learned. Your purpose. Your secrets. Discuss psychology, philosophy, your spiritual journey. Give them depth and authenticity. That's the talk they crave.

Refusing to call Christianity a “religion” on the grounds that this term is somewhat beneath it is one of the dumber initiatives of 2000s lay Christianity with oddly long legs.
I’m a Christian. Christianity is a religion. I am a religious person. Religion as a concept of

My son was bullied in school last year.
The ‘cool’ kids harassed him in the classroom. And wouldn’t let him play sports at recess.

We noticed how much he hated going to school every day. After months of being bullied he finally broke down and told me what was going on.

I was bullied as a kid too, so I knew how it felt. My heart was broken for the little guy. I took it seriously.

I sat in his bed until late that night giving him perspective and tools.

He went to school the next day armed for battle, but our plan backfired. He was crushed again. He wanted to give in. Maybe change classes. I told him not to give up.

We went back to the drawing board.

The day after he managed to turn it all around. He stood up for himself and showed the bullies he’s not to be messed with a respectful way.

He was invited to play! He ended up becoming one of the best players in the school. 💪

Fast forward…

Yesterday my son was playing soccer. And a boy tried to play. The kids wouldn’t let him in. A few years back they gave this boy a nasty nickname and he’s been sidelined ever since.

Yesterday on the court, my son also called him the mean nickname. He saw how much it hurt the boy.

He remembered his hurtful it was when we was bullied.

He came home from Synagogue and told me what happened. He felt terrible.

I told him the right thing to do was to call to say sorry. He didn’t want. He was to shy and embarrassed.

I called the boys father anyways. He told me that his son is having a rough year because of the bullying. My son heard every word.

His father passed the phone to his boy.

I put my son on the line.

“I’m sorry I called you that name. From now on I’ll make sure that nobody bothers you .” My son said.

The boy responded “thank you Menachem.”

My son said “can we be friends?”

I heard the boy chocking up and struggling to answer. Finally he said in a teary voice…

“Yes”.

Lesson learned, bullying is serious. We as parents have to be just as concerned about other kids feelings as we are about our own kids.

We have to turn our children into leaders and defenders instead of bystanders.

I subscribe to the hands on parenting method. How about you?
