Our sense of worthiness always stands on the head of a pin. We are human, after all. We all encounter challenges to uplevel our sense of worth and value as a condition of our growth and evolution.

The idea is that self-worth and self-love are derived from deep within, regardless of parentage, culture, gender, class, professional role, or ethnicity. Authenticity is our self-worth, value, and love's intimate partner, since who we are at our core is the wellspring from which we live into our integrity.

• Let no one and nothing define your worth.
• Let no one and nothing negatively influence your authentic self.
• Let no one's opinion of you matter.

When they try, remember that revolutionary acts of self-care and self-nurturing are how we continually become our truth. We don't become our truth according to anyone's projections.
