If you do not accept yourself as you are right now, you will still not accept yourself no matter how productive and successful you become. Obsession with personal development and improvement is the same thing as drug dependence; it is based on a lack of acceptance and a constant need to change in an attempt to feel better.
You are identified with your behaviors but these are just behaviors and your value is independent of them. By changing how you feel about yourself and how you perceive the world you will change your experience of it and your behavior will change without effort.
You can do everything possible to improve yourself but if it is all based on self-hatred it will not provide the results you are looking for. Your life is an external reflection of your inner state so the only way to make lasting changes is to work with the cause rather than the effect.
