"I am sorry. We say love is in actions, but I think love is in accountability. Because action rooted in accountability is the kind that truly matters. ‘Authenticity’ and ‘freedom’ and ‘love’ are words that get thrown around excessively but their less trendy counterpart ‘accountability’ is hardly ever mentioned. Probably because it isn’t as hot for the brand as “radical authenticity”. Try selling tickets to a masterclass on accountability. (Interesting how we all want self development and healing as long as it doesn’t overthrow the ego too much). But the reality is there can be no authenticity without responsibility. And responsibility = holding myself ACCOUNTABLE. I see them as one and the same. To be accountable is to be authentic (from greek authentikos / to act from the self). In other words, authenticity isn’t FOR others but FROM self. It does not need grandiose announcements or to prove itself by constantly broadcasting emotional ‘transformations’. It isn’t measured by how extravagant we are. It can be all that, but isn’t defined by any of it, or by how we’re seen at all. It just is what it is, the way it is. In all its mundane , ordinary, daily glory. Raw expression doesn’t always mean loud expression. I see authenticity as originating rather than imitating and moving from inner authority instead of external validation. Which is literally how I would define true freedom or sovereignty too. To me it’s the ability to see myself as I am, to observe where I’ve been unconscious and to meet that without shame. But also to observe where ive done my best and celebrate that wholeheartedly. And then, to take action accordingly. Saying I’m sorry, wherever appropriate, is balm for the heart. Accountability (authenticity) is the highest form of love & respect I can offer you."
