Going to bed early? Resisting the Himalayan salted kettle chips? Staying in good shape? How do we actually do these things? Who is able to? I think I finally realized the one thing that works. Accountability! If we can find the right people, who love us and therefore will tell us the truth, then we can tell them who we want to be, and they can point out when we act differently. It's startlingly simple in concept, and staggeringly hard in application. Go find some real friends, and create a reciprocal accountability agreement. I suppose this only applies if you want to grow and generate the impact of your pull potential. I've started down this challenging road, and I now believe it's really the only way to actually do what I know I should do.  I say let's do it!
