How do I see my own worth?

[caring__1]

Self-worth is based on one's own actions, not what others say, do or provide. If you truly want to feel good about yourself, challenge yourself and gain a sense of accomplishment. This is an issue for many stay-at-home moms. Everyday, they do the same thing over and over. When they finish, it is time to do it again. They never get to the point of actually getting a sense of accomplishment. You may say they are raising kids, and that is a great accomplishment. The problem with that is you have to wait 18 years to determine whether you were successful or not. Always maintain some activity that allow for self-challenge. It could be a paid job, volunteer work, a creative endeavor or anything else that feeds your self-esteem.

Let's say I tell you having 14 arms is weird, so you should cut off 12 of your arms. You'd probably look at me like I'm the weird person, as you don't have 14 arms. If we don't already believe something, we can't accept it from others. Expecting others to make you whole will only leave you feeling empty. Become the person you can look up to and respect. Never be a chameleon to fit into the lives of others.
