Accomplishments don't make the man or the woman. I don't have to strive and achieve to become worthwhile. I am worthwhile because I exist, because at my very core I am an embodiment of all that is valuable and worthwhile.
Though being impressive to others and admired by them may feel affirming, I can really know my value only by affirming myself at my core. I am not my image. I am not what I project. I am not my exterior. I am valuable because of what is inherently me inside, and the only real affirmation is that inner experiential knowledge. My image won't help me to escape worthlessness, for there is no worthlessness to escape from.
