What makes us feel worthy? Self-worth is a journey that everyone goes through in life. We can use relationships, money, fame, and other achievements as an attempt to feel more worthy, but this is merely confidence, self-esteem, and productivity.  Self-worth needs no proof. You simply are self-worthy just because.
