Who"s Really On Your Team?
My closest family and friends know that one of my guilty pleasures is REALITY TV! I know, I know...
It's so negative but it's entertaining to me and God aint through with me yet! So I'm watching the RHOA Reunion, and NeNe makes a statement to Sheree during an argument that made me say "AHA"! NeNe told Sheree to "change the team that she was riding with".
Now you're wondering where the "AHA" moment comes in at, right? Let me explain...
Who's Really On Your Team? When you get to that point in your life when you are ready to move to the next level, one of the steps that you must take is to change the people that you hang around with or in other words CHANGE THE TEAM YOU ARE RIDING WITH! When you get ready to make that move, it is important to have people on your team that are going to give support, motivate, encourage, inspire, and give you that swift kick in the butt that you need during those times when you feel like giving up! Basically, you need an ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER! WHAT DOES ACCOUNTABILITY MEAN? In spiritual terms, accountability simply means "standing in for God".
An accountability partner who not only believes in you, but also believes in Christ makes the unseen presence of God very real.
Having an accountability partner may seem very simple; however, all accountability partners are not the right fit for every situation.
WHAT QUALITIES SHOULD AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER HAVE? Your accountability partner should be someone who is NOT afraid to keep it real with you! Your partner should offer support, encouragement, and a swift kick in the butt if you start falling off your route.
You should sit down with your partner to discuss exactly what it is that you want to accomplish and allow them to hold you accountable for doing so.
Discuss how the accountability will be tracked (daily or weekly emails, texts, etc.
).
MAKE A COMMITMENT TO GET SERIOUS AND START DOING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE! HOW TO SELECT YOUR TEAM (ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNERS) Step 1: Make a list of your closest friends and be real with yourself about who is truly for you and who needs to be placed on the bench.
BE HONEST! Step 2: The next thing to do is to let the "benchwarmers" know that their services are no longer needed.
Step 3: Give your real team members a pep talk about the journey you're about to embark on, as well as your expectations of them while you are on this journey.
If they are your TRUE friends, then they will be ready and willing to support you anyway that they can!
