Today, we're diving into a crucial spiritual truth: the distinction between self-worth and self-confidence. Have you ever considered if there's a difference, and how they might affect each other? This is a big one, and I'm excited to share a key insight right away: self-worth is the greatest indicator of personal happiness.

Why is that? Well, self-confidence is typically built on external factors—what you do, what you accomplish, your skills, and your environment. It can fluctuate based on how well you perform or who you're around. But self-worth? That's entirely internal. It's about truly knowing who you are: a beloved individual with inherent purpose and gifts, perfect and wonderful just as you are, mistakes and all. When you believe this to your core, that's where unwavering self-worth comes from, leading to profound peace and happiness.

We'll explore this difference further with insights from Jamie Kern Lima's book, Worthy, highlighting how self-confidence is fragile and external, while self-worth is foundational and stable. If you've been chasing happiness through accomplishments or external validation, you might be missing the crucial internal foundation that self-worth provides. Tune in to discover how strengthening your self-worth can transform your self-confidence and bring true, lasting peace and joy to your daily life.
