Redefining Self Worth

Via Therapist John Kim:

Think about all the shit you’ve been through in your life. All the pain. Think about every single expired relationship and what you’ve learned from them, about you, him / her, love, and life. Play back your struggles. The times when you had nothing. When you were in a crappy job or felt the most alone. Although you have scars now, those scars have made you stronger. Experience equals knowledge.

Many people believe they are worth less because of the chaos they experienced, the “failed” relationships, bad choices, unhealthy coping. The more “fucked up” our story is, the less valuable we believe we are.

But the truth is the complete opposite. All that grit is what makes you worth more. You have accumulated more knowledge, wisdom, and strength than someone who has had an easier life than you.
