I think this is the very ground for deep level transformation and learning. Accept yourself as you are. From that ground effective development starts. But this acceptance does not mean that you don't see that things could be done in smarter and more considerate ways. Just observing in an accepting way how you function, and also how things could get better done, leads quite spontaneously to small changes in your habitual ways. And small changes gradually accumulate to big changes. Since age 16 I have not tried to change myself or decided to leave a bad habit, but I have changed a lot to the better. There is something amiss in these purportedly enlightened people, who show declining behaviour.
