The National Association for Self- Esteem interpret self-esteem as an individual meeting life challenges and being worthy of happiness (NASE, 2016).

People’s self-esteem either high or low is shaped by their life experiences. I believe a person’s self-esteem begins to take shape at an early age, with their parents being a major influence. Kind, positive, knowledgeable and caring parents help children create a positive self-image.

The Self-Worth Project is a photo documentation where people write their biggest insecurity on their body in order to bring awareness to the struggle some people deal with every day. Seeing so many people embrace their insecurities and then having the courage to expose them caused me to think about what my biggest insecurity. After thinking about it for some time, it became evident that my biggest insecurity in a single word is “Inadequacy.” My whole life I have always had a problem with not being

Self-worth in sports is not based on winning. Success is not winning. These are two concepts I did not realize until recently. When I was a little younger than I am now, I put a tremendous amount of pressure on myself to win, and to win was my main goal. I never set realistic personal goals for advancing my own abilities.

Altruism, Self-Worth, and Happiness. A multiple liner regression analysis was conducted to determine how altruism and self-worth predicted overall happiness. For the regression analysis, the total model was significant, R2 = 0.11, F(2, 1098) = 67.79, p < 0.001. Overall happiness was significantly predicted by altruism (β = 0.06, t(1098) = 2.21, p = 0.03) and self-worth (β = 0.32, t(1098) = 11.11, p < 0.001). However, self-worth was a better predictor for overall happiness. Empathy, Prosocial Behavior
What is and how does one gain a sense of self-worth? Self-worth can be defined differently by each individual. To me self-worth is defined simply as a persons feeling of worthiness to live or be accepted by others. Out of all the people and events I've been associated with during my lifetime, I would have to say the one person that sticks out to me would be my wife.
