Self-Worth Quiz: How Well Do You Know Your True Value? #SelfWorth
By Monica Brown
Have you ever stopped to truly consider your worth? Not your job title, your bank account, or the number of followers you have online, but your inherent value as a human being. This value exists independent of external circumstances, and understanding it is crucial for living a fulfilling and empowered life.
The Unspoken Truth: Many of us struggle with self-worth. We chase external validation, compare ourselves to others, and let negative self-talk dim our inner light.
