Accountability

I have given lately to organizing my time for the purposes of being able to report better to the Chair of the Board at our weekly meetings and to be able to quickly draw up a monthly report for the board meetings. The method of planning and time records has been honed over the last 6 months and now I feel I have an effective working model. This got me thinking. What would happen if I applied this principle to my spiritual life. After all, I have a "chairman" equivalent to answer to there also. I believe if I were to log how often I appreciate, send forth love, do a random act of kindness, or a selfless act. If I noted when I engaged in harmlessness, read for the purpose of furthering wisdom; actively listened to my intuition; set about doing something for someone else; reduced my footprint on the planet deliberately; gifted a smile; made someone laugh or seriously contemplate the way they do things or any other of the many possible spiritually enhancing activities that are available to me in my day - then I would find it clear how spiritual my life actually is, and would become I think more motivated to engage in these activities more often in my day, because I have to report at the end of the week, rather than at the end of my life time at some pearly gate...a distance that is too far off to warrant serious motivation today.
