Accountability

Recently I was challenged to consider finding someone to hold me accountable for my life. You know what I mean, someone that I could bounce ideas and share any deep concerns, fears, hopes or complaints. Of course this person would have to be someone I would feel safe and confident that the entire world would not know my deep secrets.
Thinking about this suggestion I wondered if there is such a person. The risk could be very high when you complicate the possibilities of hurt and rejection. So, why try to be accountable to anyone?
I think it is a chance for both individuals to grow. So being accountable has benifits:

It keeps us real
It keeps us available
It keeps us honest
It keeps us transparent
It causes us to love

Now let's consider this... how about more that one person?
