“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” “You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” “Self–worth is so vital to your happiness if you don't feel good about yourself, it's hard to feel good about anything else.”

Self-worth is rooted in one's overall appraisal of their value or capability. Some examples of self-worth include security, resilience, and character. Ongoing low self-esteem can negatively affect thinking, self-care, motivation, confidence, relationships, and more – all important elements to self-worth.
“Life is beautiful and so are you.” “The purpose of our lives is to be happy.” “Once you become accustomed to life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.” “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” “This above all: to thine own self be true.” “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.”
Happiness begins with loving yourself, every beautiful inch, no matter what anyone else thinks—and forgiving yourself, too, so that you can grow. If you've been down on yourself lately, the concept of self-love may sound counterintuitive, but don't take our word for it.
