'''Accountability is an ethical model and character standard that expresses you, and only you, are totally responsible for your actions.''' The willingness to be accountable for what you do and what you don't do (or refuse to do) is a significant trait of your moral character.  
'''Accountability is an ethical model and character standard that expresses you, and only you, are totally responsible for your actions.''' The willingness to be accountable for what you do and what you don't do (or refuse to do) is a significant trait of your moral character. Personal accountability to ones thoughts, actions and behaviors is a marker of a spiritual maturity and a hallmark of [[Krystal]] attributes, such as in the [[Spirits of Christ]].  


Many people confuse responsibility and accountability as being one in same. In the practical reality, they are character traits that are more like two sides of the same coin. Being accountable has more to do with giving up certain ego defense behaviors, such as negative beliefs and attitudes, than just making an effort to behave or relate to others in a different way. One of the most common ego defense mechanisms used to avoid personal accountability or responsibility is to become upset, blaming others or to have a tantrum.
