We must acknowledge all parts of ourselves, and accept who we are. When we do our shadow work, looking at all the ways in which we don't like ourselves, and the pieces we don't like, it can be very difficult. Accepting all parts of yourself doesn't mean that you indulge in bad behavior, it means that you acknowledge them and see how they create the greater you. When you can allow yourself to feel ownership of all parts of you, your vision becomes more free.
