When you realize that worth is a virtue that comes from within, you’ll never need to rely on outside validation to feel good about yourself. We often look to our peers or loved ones for acknowledgement, only to feel ignored or to discover that the recognition we receive does not adequately satisfy our desires. Self-worth that comes from self-respect and your belief that you are a valuable individual cannot be taken away from you. It evolves within you over time regardless of whether the people in your life choose to acknowledge your accomplishments or merit. Since you know your worth, no situation or individual will have the power to make you feel irrelevant. Your need to seek external acknowledgement will diminish as you rediscover your innate value.
