I recognize that for many years the devil had me running from the two things that I would benefit from greatly in my life. Discipline was the first thing, I avoided learning disciplined until it was forced upon me, and even then, I still didn’t fully embrace it. The transformation came for me when I began to recognize the benefits gained by being disciplined. Life started to reward me when I surrendered to the discipline needed in my life, I started to mature and became wise when I submitted to the discipline. I stopped having to repeat things and I was able to make progress with challenges and situations that I was facing. Accountability was the second tool given to me to learn and grow from. Again, I ran from accountability in the beginning because I hadn’t seen it modeled before, and it was very uncomfortable. I had the mentality that I could do it myself and that I didn’t have to rely upon anyone to get things done, I was so full of pride and ego. I saw accountability as being authoritative and a noose around my neck rather than a source of protection and security. I had to learn to trust accountability and obey the counsel and advice and correction that was being given to me. To realize that those whom God had placed in my life for me to be accountable to also unconditionally “Loved” me.
