A principle I'd like to live my life by would be, "Accept yourself exactly as you are but never stop trying to learn and grow." Accepting yourself and all your flaws is the biggest struggle everyone battles with. No one ever really wins, but we do our best in the battle of the mind. We should strive to accept ourselves body, mind, and soul (or inner being/self if you don't believe in souls). We may not like how tall/short, fat/thin, etc. we are, but unless we accept the truth of ourselves we cannot move forward in life. We must accept our mind's limitations. So you're bad at math and amazing at art...learn new art forms, don't sit their smacking your head away at a math book to no avail, metaphorically speaking of course. Accepting one's self/soul includes everything that make you you: favorite colors and food, who you like to spend time with, interests you're drawn to. Once someone has accepted themselves they can grow from that point. Accepting who you are is a stepping stone into striving and becoming whoever/whatever you want to be in the future through growth and learning.
