"This, above all, to thine own self be true."
I think this just about sums it up. Be honest with yourself. Be brutally honest. If you're lazy, admit it to yourself. If you're pompous, own up to it.
Then, once you have told yourself the pure and untarnished truth about yourself, there's another aspect of being true to yourself... Take action to improve your life.
Taking action is quite futile if you don't know what areas to improve, and just figuring out what areas to improve without actually taking action will only make you depressed. You need both honesty and action, so this, above all, to your own self be true.
