At SuperCamp’ssummer camp programs, students are told to be someone who can be counted upon,someone who responds. Ownership is thequality of accountability and responsibility. When you feel a sense ofownership, you give your best efforts and take pride in the results. When youtake responsibility for your life, you begin to make things happen. You are incontrol because you stop blaming things outside yourself for your situation.You can create a huge shift in your life simply by taking ownership of yourattitude.  AccountabilityTaking ownership is all about accountability, taking ownership ofwhat you do and think—including your mistakes, your excuses, your failures toact, and actions that you’re not very proud of.Dismantle the word “accountability” and you’ll see that itliterally means the ability to be counted on. It means you’re willing to takeresponsibility for the choices you make. It means accepting responsibility formaking change happen, whether good or bad. The bottom line is that whetherthings go wrong or right, you point to yourself as the cause. You'reaccountable.Why hold yourself accountable? What does accountability do foryou? Accountability puts you in control. It allows you to make things happen.It makes you a potent force in your own life.Accountabilityis a whole-life concept: You can take ownership of your career, relationships,finances, education, fitness—everything that's important to you. You can createa massive shift in your life simply by taking ownership of your attitude.Accountability puts you in control—and being in control makes you feel powerfuland effective.  The buck stopswith youWhen you pass the buck, you volunteer for powerlessness. You makeyourself a passive ingredient in the recipe of your own life. You removeyourself from the equation. You've heard, and probably used, denials of ownership that offerexcuses, lay blame elsewhere, or otherwise justify actions that did not producea favorable outcome:  the kids made me late ... she didn't sendthe report ... I would have called, but ... etc. Denying responsibilitydoesn’t make the problem go away, and it may even make you look unreliable andeven dishonest. Although denial might take some of the immediate heat off you,it does little to relieve the feelings of guilt and incompetence that come whenyou know you’ve let someone down.Andthat’s the worst part of passing the buck: It erodes your relationships. Itmarks you as someone who can’t be counted on. To maintain the respect of othersand keep your relationships solid, the buck stops with you! Above the line? Or below theline? To illustrate the key of Ownership in our summer camp and schoolprograms, we talk about playing above the line or below the line.  Here's what it looks like:Above the Line: Choices~Accountability~Freedom~Responsibility~Solutions~WillingessBelow the line:Laying Blame~Justification~GivingUp~Denial~Reasons When you’re playing above the line, you’re taking responsibility,being accountable for your actions, and looking for solutions. You’re takingownership. Playing above the line wins you freedom, trust, and success. Abovethe line, you’re not a victim of circumstances because you determine how you’llrespond to them.When you’re playing below the line, you’re blaming others for yourmistakes, justifying your actions, or simply denying them. Below the line, youact as if circumstances are beyond your control—it’s not your fault, there’snothing you can do about it. You live in complacency and inaction. To understand the significance of the line in your life, thinkabout some recent actions and decide whether your response was above the lineor below the line. Did you miss a deadline? Were you late for a meeting? Didyou take responsibility—or make excuses?Whenyou own your actions and attitude you can fix mistakes and overcome failures,you have the power to repair damaged relationships, and you experience a surgeof potency and a sense of pride.Affirmations for OWNERSHIP:·        I amaccountable for my actions.·        Itake responsibility.·        Isee what needs to be done, and do it."Peoplethink responsibility is hard to bear. It's not. I think that sometimesit is the absence of responsibility that is harder to bear. You have a greatfeeling of impotence."   —Henry KissingerSuperCamp summerprograms fill up fast.
