An Unwavering Connection to the Infinite
Found this great article and wanted to share in hope that it may help some of us on our journey
An Unwavering Connection to the Infinite Worth
Your worth is not a product of your intelligence, your talent, your looks, or how much you have accomplished.
Though much of who and what we are changes as we journey through life, our inherent worth remains constant. While the term self-worth is often used interchangeably with self-esteem, the two qualities are inherently different. Self-esteem is the measure of how you feel about yourself at a given moment in time. Your worth, however, is not a product of your intelligence, your talent, your looks, your good works, or how much you have accomplished. Rather it is immeasurable and unchanging manifestation of your eternal and infinite oneness with the universe. It represents the cornerstone of the dual foundations of optimism and self-belief. Your worth cannot be taken from you or damaged by life’s rigors, yet it can easily be forgotten or even actively ignored. By regularly acknowledging your self-worth, you can ensure that you never forget what an important, beloved, and special part of the universe you are.
You are born worthy—your worth is intertwined with your very being. Your concept of your own self-worth is thus reinforced by your actions. Each time you endeavor to appreciate yourself, treat yourself kindly, define your personal boundaries, be proactive in seeing that your needs are met, and broaden your horizons, you express your recognition of your innate value. During those periods when you have lost sight of your worth, you will likely feel mired in depression, insecurity, and a lack of confidence. You’ll pursue a counterfeit worth based on judgment rather than the beauty that resides within. When you feel worthy, however, you will accept yourself without hesitation. It is your worth as an individual who is simultaneously interconnected with all living beings that allows you to be happy, confident, and motivated. Because your conception of your worth is not based on the fulfillment of expectations, you’ll see your mistakes and failures as just another part of life’s jo! urney.
Human beings are very much like drops of water in an endless ocean. Our worth comes from our role as distinct individuals as well as our role as an integral part of something larger than ourselves. Simply awakening to this concept can help you rediscover the copious and awe-inspiring worth within each and every one of us.

Re: An Unwavering Connection to the Infinite
self-worth is just on how you look at it. I have to agree with the fact that it doesn't change. However, we might not see how much we're worth. THAT is what i mean, when i talk about self-worth. It's not your own value, but the value you give yourself.

That is key, too. Belief in your full self worth as described in that article is very freeing. Giving yourself less value than you are worth has a pretty heavy price connected to it.

Re: An Unwavering Connection to the Infinite
yes , your self-esteem and self worth are 2 different concepts. now, self worth is the worth independent of the outside world, independent of the earthly world. self worth is inside all of us and is not influenced by the outside world. it is there in all of us, it is just a matter of 'discovering' it.
now, with that discovery, low self-esteem does not have a change to exist. that idea of self worth is much broader then self -esteem. do discover that self worth you probably need to work on having a high self-esteem. people with a low self-esteem cannot reach that self worth, you think?
in other words, those 2 concepts can influence each other or do they exist independently?
yes, self -esteem is much more constricted while self worth is on a different level. well, when you transcend your self esteem, you will discover self worth?
