Episode 2960:

Steve Pavlina emphasizes the importance of developing self-accountability as a foundation for lasting discipline and personal growth. Relying too heavily on external systems can lead to collapse when those supports disappear, whereas internal commitment builds character and long-term freedom.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://stevepavlina.com/blog/2020/05/self-accountability/

Quotes to ponder:

"Ultimately you want to be accountable to yourself first and foremost, not to a buddy, team, company, organization, app, or external entity."

"I like holding myself accountable to my future self. I know that I’ll be my future self someday, so my loyalty is to him."

"No accountability buddy got me out of bed at 4:30 this morning. No one pushed me to run for an hour, then do yoga."
