How Do You Find Your Self-worth?
There is one person I know that spends hours taking photos of herself so that her ego can be stroked by the people that tell her how fabulous she is, and yet, she isn't happy and she goes farther each time trying to win more "friends" and greater "compliments." It's evident why she remains unhappy: the flattery she receives is shallow and has nothing to do with her worth as a person, but only as an object.
Gradually her appearance will diminish in the eyes of the strangers she wants to impress, and what will she do to feed her need then? Her passion in life isn't "her," but she conducts it though it was.
I believe she would know joy if, instead of angling for praise, she earned its worth instead.
Outward beauty, as lovely as it is to behold, is not enough for the person who possess it; she must feel beautiful as well and that encompasses spirit and soul; if people only flatter the former, how can she know the latter?
I believe that self-worth must be found in personal contentment and not in superficial pursuits and when one feels their worth, happiness follows.
