Self-worth is important to recognize because it helps us have a better self-esteem. We must know the value of ourselves before we gain the confidence to demonstrate our own value to others. Recognizing our self-worth allows us to believe in ourselves and not let the failures in life and the opinions of others define us.
Self-Esteem and Self-Concept Self-Esteem is the way we view ourselves, and the acceptance of... our own worth. It is the reason we compare each other, and try to be better than others. We judge every little action we do and thought counts. Self-Esteem is linked to the feelings of pride and discouragement.
