Where does your self-worth come from?

Wow, I picked a hard one today.

I think my self-worth comes from my growth from year to year and how I’m becoming a better person.

The work I’m doing on my mental health, learning self care, working out in the gym. Becoming a better partner and parent, and even changing as I parent as my son has grown and grown up and moved out. The way I’ve survived and even thrived with the struggles life has thrown at me has also contributed to my self-worth.

I think my lack of a job right now, and especially when I’m not in school takes a toll on my self-worth because it’s such a big part of self-worth in societies eyes.

What about you, where does your self worth come from?
