Are you doing your best? Are you expecting the best? Have you done all that you can do? In the words of Norman Vincent Peale, “When you have done all that you can do, don’t try to do any more, just ‘stand.’ Relax, stop, be quiet, don’t fuss about it; you have done everything possible; leave the results to God.”

Yes, when you have done everything possible to change your life, when you have done everything possible to conquer your fears, when you have done everything possible to increase yourself, to move yourself up, to do things that matter, to become who you were created to be, leave the results to God. Why is that? Because you are not in charge of your life. God is in charge of your life. God is in control, not you.

Without Accountability, You Can’t Build Credibility

Without accountability, without taking responsibility for your life, you can’t build a great life. Without taking responsibility for your life, you can’t move forward in your life. Don’t fear accountability. Don’t let it stop you from living your life. Don’t let it stop you from taking risks.

To grow, you must take risks. According to Naval Ravikant, “Embrace accountability and take business risks under your own name. Society will reward you with responsibility, equity, and leverage. … Clear accountability is important. Without accountability, you don’t have incentives. Without accountability, you can’t build credibility. But you take risks. You risk failure. You risk humiliation. You risk failure under your own name.” If you want to be successful, you must embrace risks.

You risk failure under your own name. You risk embarrassment under your own name. You risk take responsibility under your own name. Don’t risk anything under another person’s name. Risk everything under your own name. Because it is not about them. It is about you. It is about your growth, your success, your life. Embrace risks and move forward under your own name.
