knowing who you are beyond titles, achievements, or the approval of others. Your identity is rooted in your values, beliefs, and purpose, while self-worth is the quiet confidence that you matter simply because you exist. When you understand this, you stop measuring yourself by comparison or external validation and begin to live from a place of wholeness. True self-worth grows when you accept your strengths and flaws, honor your journey, and recognize that your value is not earned but inherent.
