My definition of self acceptance might be slightly different than the ones above of both acceptance and self acceptance.
I would look at it this way: "As long as I am not harming myself or another being I accept myself as a good, worthwhile and useful person. However, I do not define myself in the way many other people do. Therefore I am the Captain of my own ship and master of my own destiny and anyone who tries to manipulate me or control me in any way I reject outright. Because God and I are mutually acceptable. All others who try to control me I reject outright. I accept myself because I know that I have integrity and I constantly work to become a better person and to make the world a better place for all. Therefore, I accept myself completely as a child of God living on Earth and helping all mankind to better and better lives in any way possible in any given moment by the Grace of God."
Your covenant with all life in the universe and all time and space and God might look somewhat different than this. However, I have found that self acceptance is the beginning of Enlightenment.
Until you can have enough integrity to accept yourself and to reject others ridiculous notions about yourself you cannot have even the beginnings of enlightenment. But, beginning with self acceptance and the rejection of criticism from others or yourself you move into pure being and acceptance of life as it really is and not as some twisted thing that other people (and sometimes oneself might do). With self acceptance the beginnings to all enlightenment actually begins. Nature becomes beautiful. You become beautiful to yourself. You begin to see the beauty in others and start to become at peace with the world. Self Acceptance is the beginning of everything good in your life. It all begins here.
In the end self acceptance allows you to begin to access your true and amazing abilities by being calm enough to access what is actually important in your life and all others. Self Acceptance is the beginning of everything beautiful, good and useful in your life.
