The article explores the deep-seated societal belief that worth must be earned through achievements and external validation. It emphasizes that true worth comes from within and that each individual is inherently worthy simply by existing. The author shares personal struggles with feelings of unworthiness, fueled by societal pressures and comparison, especially exacerbated by social media. Ultimately, the message is about developing a strong relationship with oneself, leading to fulfillment through self-acceptance rather than relentless chasing of external approval.
Many of us are constantly evaluating our worth based on things outside of us, tying it to job titles, grades, accolades, or social media validation.
For years, I fell into the trap of chasing worthiness, motivated to prove myself through achievements, only to find fulfillment was illusory.
