The article explores the detrimental impact of external expectations on personal self-worth, emphasizing how societal pressures compel individuals to seek validation through achievements. It introduces the concept of the 'Sisyphus Syndrome', where one's worth seems perpetually out of reach, mirroring the myth of Sisyphus. Even successful individuals may feel unworthy and trapped by the need to consistently prove themselves. Ultimately, the piece advocates for a shift in perspective: embracing self-acceptance over societal validation, recognizing that true worth is inherent from birth, irrespective of accomplishments.
Even if we have some worldly success, we awake the following day, only to demonstrate our worthiness repeatedly.
It's only too easy to con ourselves into believing if we accomplish a lot or push the rock up the hill a lot, then we can say 'we are a lot.'
