As I'm getting older, and possibly wiser, I've come to understand how important it is to be comfortable with myself and be able to forgive myself for my own mistakes.
This wasn't always the case. I can remember countless times when I've said the wrong thing or made an expensive mistake, and for days and even weeks or months I've kept it in my head and gone over and over of what I should have said or done. And strangely enough I never once got to go back and have another go!!
What I take from this quote is, no matter how amazing your surroundings, you will never be happy unless you're happy with yourself.
