Accepting oneself as is

What does it mean to know yourself: It means you understand 3 things clearly: 1. *Your values — What is actually important to you, not what others say should be important. 2. *Your emotions — You can name what you are feeling and why. You know what makes you angry, what makes you calm, what makes you happy. 3. *Your actions— You know why you do what you do. You see your habits, your strengths, and your weaknesses without lying to yourself. In short: It's when your thoughts, words, and actions all match who you really are.

Having no delusion that you are flawed, and don't even know all of your flaws.

To know Yourself is to know exactly who you are when no one's around. What makes you happy, what do you believe in, what hurts you, what bad things you've done. All of it you must accept yourself for who you are now. Once you can do this fully, then you can adjust. To not know Yourself is to be missing chunks out of the soul.
