Handling situations and circumstances that you brought into your life via your thoughts and actions on your own, demonstrate accountability and responsibility because instead of asking for someone else to help you fix the problems that you created in your life, you’re taking the initiative to fix it on your own since you brought it on. 

For example, when a person is taking the initiative to fix their financial problems on their own without asking for help from someone else demonstrate accountability because you recognize your thoughts and actions put you in this situation, and it will be your thoughts and actions that will get you out.
