Accountability is more than just reacting to mistakes, it's a way of living in relationships

How do we actually embody accountability? I think we have to start with knowing that it's really hard. It's hard in our context to do. I don't think it's hard necessarily always or will always be hard, but I think given what we are embodied in, it's a really scary thing. I think a lot of us think about accountability in this moment as what are we going to do when something bad happens? What are we going to do when somebody did something wrong? That's when we start thinking about accountability. As opposed to accountability is a way that we live in relationship to one another. That's actually a component of the everyday that we are in the kind of relationship with ourselves. First where we know that we are changing, that we are growing, that we are making mistakes, and we live inside of communities that have that same knowledge. I think that begins to have it be so that accountability doesn't become an event, but is a daily practice of, oh, I could have done this differently. (Time 0:12:20)
