Why It's Important To Know Your Self-Worth

This article is dedicated to anyone who has yet to realize their self-worth.

Self-respect is absolutely the most important quality anyone can have. It is all about having pride and confidence within yourself, carrying yourself with dignity and understanding how incredible you really are and what you are capable of accomplishing.

With all these contorted standards within society regarding "beauty" and what it means to be "cool" or "popular," a lot of people underestimate themselves. Well, it's time you realize that you are special and worth way more than you give yourself. After all, how you feel about yourself greatly impacts a variety of aspects in your life.

That being said, if you cannot understand how to value and appreciate yourself, then it's time you take a step back to admire who you are and all you have yet to be. Think of how far you have already come and what is ahead.

It's sad yet true that many people accept to be in positions and relationships that are way beneath them due to the fact that they underestimate their value. They do not strive for better because they do not think they can.

However, it is imperative that you respect and honor yourself. Set high goals and even higher standards. Do not limit yourself at all and never doubt yourself. If you let people treat you poorly, you are doing everything all wrong. Life is too short to be involved with toxic people who bring you down. Do not be afraid to stand up for yourself and even walk away if necessary. Have pride. Do not let anyone define your worth.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of course, yet do not let those opinions influence you in any way, shape, or form. Understand that the only perspective that matters is your own. You are important.

With high self-esteem, you are as powerful as can be. Have confidence and you will be driven to succeed throughout life. Never limit yourself from any opportunity. Be fearless.

Life is full of potential and it's no fun if you spend it putting yourself down. You are your own enemy when it comes to comparing yourself to others. Once again, remember no one is you and that is magical.

Love yourself, embrace yourself. Take pride in all you have to offer. Stay humble.

So stop crying over that boy that won't text you back or doubting yourself because a girl said no when you asked her on a date. Keep your head held high and believe in yourself because anything is possible. You are worth way more than you ever thought possible. Work hard and achieve great things.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
