How you find your self worth?

Answer 1

Self-worth is found in knowing there is a God who sent His son Jesus to die on the cross for you. God created you in his image and that in itself makes you special. When Jesus died on the cross for you, that gave you worth and value. Your signifance is not based on all the good things you do, how much money you make or how many people you can impress but it is based on the fact that somebody who absolutely did no wrong paid the biggest price - of sacrifing himself so that you could have good life on Earth and have eternal life in Heaven. Every single person at one time or another fails in life but the good news is that no matter what happens in life and no matter how many mistakes you have made- God love for you does not change because he values you more that you could ever imagine. He made you and wants you to know just how special you are to him. He gives you value that no human being or material could ever give you.

Answer 2

Think of things your good at doing, maybe something only you can do. like be there for somebody, I know that that dosen`t sound like much but to somebody your opinion or support may really have an impact on there life. Does that give you self worth? It should. Many times people confuse self worth with self image that can contribute to what you think your self worth is but ultimately it should be what is on the inside that determines your self worth. Just being a kind and caring person is much more important all that superficial stuff that advertisers (T.V., news, movies, persons held in high esteem, ext.) tell us what self worth is. Just be you. Even if your a not so nice person you are contributing, someone will notice what you may be doing and think to themselves "I hope i`m not like that" and then they might be a better person because of some mean thing you did. Really all it comes down to what you believe in, if you are someone who just likes being an @ss to others then you wouldn`t be interested in finding your self worth. But even if you weren`t the nicest person around you would still make a difference, yes even good can come from negative influences. How would we recognize & enjoy the positive aspects of life if there was no negitave. You don`t find self worth, YOU are self worth, take care.

Answer 3

I also felt tempted and tried to determine self worth and also the worth of my effort for self improvement. It took years for me to realize that it is harmful to make efforts to find and experiment with different scales; self generated or generated by others. It harms you psychologically.
There can not be a scale which can put in digits or words the worthiness of any humane being. Each one is unique, valuable. Appreciate your own good qualities. Put positive affirmation about your self again and again till they find root in you. Do not repent on past. The thing of past are past and were Gods will. Today is a new day. You are great creature of God. Do not try to evaluate the most wonderful thing of this universe i.e you as humane being.
Enjoy the moments as they pass. appreciate yourself aloud to yourself when you are alone. People will feel your worth and you will be able to see that in their eyes.

I didn't 'find' it, I've always had it. Maybe it was my upbringing. I was always taught that God was my mother/father/parent and that that gave me intrinsic worth as her/his/its daughter. (Of course, this is also true of everyone else.) My wise, old dad (the human one, not God), used to tell me, ' Remember, when you enter a room - any room - there is no one there who is any better than you.' So I learned self confidence, which, I think, is closely related to self worth. If you know who you *really* are, you will know that your worth is infinite. So the problem then becomes: Learn who you really are. If you can do that, I offer you the guarantee that you will have found your self worth.

Answer 5

Do something that would make you respect yourself, something that you know is difficult for you, even if it's not difficult for anyone else. Basically set a goal and keep to it. And realize that everyone is worth something. Feeling better than someone else will not make you feel like you have self worth. It's ok to feel better than someone in a specific way, it just won't help. It does help to find those things that you like in yourself, and try to find them in others that you admire.

Answer 6

In many different ways. Everyone has their own success...

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure;
It does mean you haven't yet succeeded.
Failure doesn't mean you should give up;
It does mean you should try harder.
Failure doesn't mean you'll never make it...
It does mean it will take a little longer.

My fountain pen is far from new.
I've had it many years,
It's been with me through times of joy,
Of happiness and tears.
It's written letters by the score,
Penned notes to say I care,
Said sorry that I couldn't come,
And told folks, "I'll be there!"
It's written cheques and filled in forms,
Its service never ends,
So what's my favourite use of all?
It's writing to my freinds...

If you don't get the meaning, it's do what you like which may be meaningful... Life is enjoyable. The world is beautiful...!

You find self worth in what you are doing for others. If all you seek out is what you do that brings attention to you, then you cannot find worth in it - as none of us find ourselves truly worthy and if we say we do, then we're lying. But each time we do a kindness that brings a smile to someone else then a little bit of us is given away. Each time we give a little of ourselves away, then worth fills up the piece that was taken out. But worth is like water, we can drink and drink, but we can't stop. Worth is the same - in order to keep any, we must continually keep giving little kind deeds of ourselves away. No one has to know we do them. They can be a prayer for a total stranger we have seen on the side of the road. They can be a clipped wild flower for an elderly woman who has no visitors. They can be left overs we just can't face to eat one more time to an elderly man that eats alone every single meal of his life since his wife passed. We might not notice right off that we feel any worth, but we will notice we feel good and it is in that goodness that we begin to realize, with each act of kindness we are bringing worth into our self. And then ultimtely, without Jesus Christ there is no worth in who we are - He is what gives our life their worth and value. And part of what he instructed us was to take care of the widows and orphans. To go out and to spread the gospel - so many times we don't do this because we think it involves carrying our Bibles and preaching at someone, but the gospel is shared sometimes in just a smile or handing over the cart we just liked to have never got pulled out of the line up to the person behind us who watched us struggle. Any time we do something that is outside of our personal desire, then we are bringing worth into our lives, but like water, we have to have some everyday. I've read and answered many of your questions, and I don't think self worth is a problem for you - I think you like to challenge people to think about what is within them - I do hope I haven't disappointed that philosophical yearning that seems to be a part of you!

Be it whatever but your self worth indeed will be more than you expect it to be.....'cz if it weren't God wouldn't have made you in the first place.
I guess he did have sumthing in mind when he created each of us and i guess u'll find your true self worth only when you accomplish the task he set aside for you.

You're in a place of risk and it feels risky and unstable, yet appreciate your place. Instead of wanting to cling to some guy like a great catch, empower yourself with thoughts of good selfy talk knowing that's what will empower a wonderful relationship with yourself first and then whoever you choose. Self-pity and hurt are a downward cycle that's hard to stop the domino effect. However, you can at any point. Know you have the power, girl. Yes, Our culture needs a bit of pruning in how to help our progeny create lasting love relationships. For example, where are there places that encourage discussions that help us relate our inmost thoughts in a safe arena and allow us to value others from afar for awhile. I know our culture is overly focused on sex. That's just not as important as most couples will say later. We need to allow ourselves a safe haven of places we can share opinions from the heart, be honest and caring, and know we are heard and valued by many. This would be a better place like some churches could be. I think church is a pretty good place to meet someone who might care like that. Of course, God is that person first in my life. He gives me stability like no one else can.God bless you. Sing songs that upbuild instead of focus on someone being the "right one," but help you to be in the right mind. "Flee youthful lusts" should be a good song. "Hold fast to that which is Noble and True." Maybe I'll start a new genre of music!! I like those oldies like Peter, Paul and Mary sang that encouraged people to really think about "This Land Is Your Land." "This Train is Bound for Glory" even "Lemon Tree" about how love relationships often go sour. Take a lesson from that lemon tree. I enjoyed reading a book lately about Maria Von Trapp (like the Sound of Music was a story after her. She really got into being all God wanted her to be. I liked the way they used to date and even spend all night together and never once would the thought of sex ever cross anyone's mind. It just wasn't the age appropriate thing for 18-22 year olds at least in Austria. It's not just that God usually doesn't want most people to be nuns or monks. I'm not of that opinion either. I enjoy a very loving husband and kids, although my husband and I need more time together (he's busy with work now.) God bless you in your delicate balance hormonal time. Ask God to help you. If you do sincerely, He will. You have everything to gain. James says he gives wisdom to anyone who asks sincerely. Take care. Don't let the heat get to you.

Sometimes I sing songs that help build my good self stableness. Jesus Loves Me, Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling, even Ray Charles' "You Are So Beautiful to Me." Other christian songs include "Just to be with you, I would do anything." That's God talking to you!! He sent Jesus to do just that-- he had to pay the penalty for your sin and mine by dying on the cross. Look into the Bible to read all about it.

Take care.

At the end of the road, you meet yourself. You alone can value your worth.
