Self-worth and self-esteem are often confused. Self-worth is the sense of one's own importance, or worth, as a human being. This can be described as the spiritual self or inner self. Individuals who believe they have worth feel they are unique, They matter and make a difference in the world, just as everyone else does, because they have a purpose in being. They feel deserving of respect regardless of their circumstances. Individuals who have a strong sense of self-worth understand that their worth as a human being is not based on external criteria. They believe they their lives are worthwhile no matter what happens or what anyone says about them. They may feel disappointed when things go wrong but their self-worth stays in tact. They take failure in stride and learn from their mistakes. Self-respect is based on a sense of self-worth. If an individual does anything that is disrespectful to others he/she can loose self-respect and then doubt his/her worth. However, self-respect can be regained by doing whatever it takes to put things right. By living in the world, everyone has the opportunity to contribute. Individuals who have a strong sense of self-worth allow themselves to be creative, do their best and make mistakes without doubting their abilities.
