The ‘self worth’ we develop through the eyes and actions of others, can be destroyed in moments.
The self worth you develop through your own continuous growth and development work will weather life’s storms with you, and will last a lifetime if you decide to honour it.
The self worth we build through external experiences, whether from fleeting compliments, social media validation, or the approval of friends, family, intimate partners, bosses/colleagues - or sometimes complete strangers - is delicate and temporary. It’s like trying to hold water in our hands!
We might feel a temporary sense of worth, a flutter of happiness, but it quickly slips away when the source of validation is gone.
When we rely on others to define our value, it’s as though we’re placing the foundation of our self worth in their hands, trusting that they’ll handle it with care. And that’s a lot of preciousness we’re handing over!
But, in reality, it’s beyond our control. And in moments of criticism, rejection, or simple neglect, that fragile worth can be shattered, leaving us questioning our value and purpose.
Honouring our self worth takes commitment. It asks us to choose growth over complacency, self compassion over self judgment, and patience over urgency. When we decide to nurture our worth from within, we create a life long relationship with ourselves that no external judgment can destroy easily. We become resilient, empowered, and capable of withstanding life’s challenges with a sense of unshakable self confidence.
This kind of self worth doesn’t dissolve in the face of life’s challenges. It becomes our safety net, giving us stability when storms inevitably come.
This is exactly what I teach and support you to develop in my program The Love & Life Reset: Foundations For Self Love 🩷 we start on Monday so be sure to register your spot today. All details in my bio/comments.
