I try to accept myself as a person who aims self-improvement, but one who may make mistakes in the way. I accept my mistakes as a way to learning how to be better. I couldn't learn without experimenting, and mistakes are part of experimenting. And I accept that, trying not to blame myself and trying not to feel bad for missing sometimes. I don't see it as contradictory. :]
I agree with you. Acceptance is a necessary part of moving forward. Until you accept yourself and what you've done and what's been done to you, you may have trouble forgiving, or letting go of it, which is really what forgiveness is about in the first place. Letting go.
Love and acceptance can be useful in self-improvement, which I parse as "being happy" and learning how to live this life.
