How Do You Consider Your Worth?

Reflecting on Value, Identity, and Self-Acceptance

As we traverse through life in various capacities — as a mother, teacher, boyfriend, or, in Orry’s words, simply a “liver” — we often delay embracing our own idiosyncratic roots.

Moving through different roles and phases, it’s natural to become wrapped up in the inferences we draw — from outcomes, compliments, achievements, and even silences. But in those quiet, reflective moments, we may be harsh critics of ourselves — and sometimes of others — based on what we think things meant.

Being With Others Starts With Being With Yourself

To be with someone — in any capacity — it’s vital to know a little about how we are when we’re alone.

That self-awareness might come from noticing:

Why silences feel awkward or like they must be filled
Why planning ahead feels calming to you, even if it overwhelms others
Why, despite your unique traits, connection still matters — and why being called a “social being” is no accident

This Week’s Theme: How Do You Consider Your Worth?

Let’s explore the concept of worth — where it comes from, how it’s shaped, and why it matters.

Use the prompts below as journaling or reflection points:

What are some instances that made you feel valued?
Why do you think the way we hold our own value matters?
Do you agree that others only value you as much as you value yourself? Why or why not?
How does your sense of self-worth influence other areas of your life — like relationships, work, or your inner voice?

Your Uniqueness Is Not “Too Much”

With every article in this series, we hope to help you look deeper into:

Your values and roots
Your unique philosophy of life
Your motivations and the very gifts that might’ve once been dismissed as “too much”

What makes you “different” may actually be what this world needs the most right now.
