There are no tangible or even intangible tools to measure self-worth. Maybe that is why we fall into the trap of looking to others for validation. But they can only tell us what value we hold to them.

In reality, self-worth must come from within. The term should be our first clue. It is not determined by our achievements, fame, money, power or lack of any of them either.

We are not worth less when we weren’t succeeding in our goals. And something that is probably said less often – our self-worth doesn’t increase when we do start to flourish. Only our feeling of entitlement does.
