139 Quotes To Remind You Of Your Worth And To Share With Others Who Need A Boost

There are days when you just don’t believe in yourself.

You don’t even like yourself.

Maybe you’re having one today.

It seems everyone is better than you in some way – smarter, more attractive, more accomplished.

A tidal wave of low self-esteem washes over you.

You can’t stop wondering if you’re worth anyone’s attention, praise, or love.

And that’s a low place to be. 

When you get in this state, don’t continue to feed the low self-esteem beast by pondering all the ways you feel unworthy.

Part of you knows that these thoughts aren’t serving you.

Change course and seek out encouragement to reinforce your inherent worth.

That’s exactly what these “remember your worth” quotes will help you do.

How Do You Know Your Worth As a Person?

You know it because you are a person – a human being whose worth is implicit in your humanness. You are as worthy as any other person on the planet. 

But, of course, knowing that doesn’t always make you feel worthy. You’ve had life experiences and societal messages that may have damaged your sense of worthiness. 

Knowing your worth is an inside job. You have to retrain your beliefs and thought patterns to revive what you were born with. Remember: 

  • All people are worthy. You aren’t a special exception. 
  • Your worth doesn’t hinge on your appearance, status, intelligence, etc.
  • Embracing your worth is necessary for living happily and achieving your goals.
  • It may take time, but you can change how you see yourself by changing how you think.
  • If you’re having trouble by yourself, seek support from a counselor. (Just doing that shows you believe you’re worth the effort.)
