Self worth and realisation

Here's a reason why no one invalidates your self worth, if you don't doubt it yourself.

Consider a note worth $50 existing in some part of the US. Now take that to Germany or Brazil, it still stays $50, right?

Consider another situation where you throw it on the road. You trample on it, crush it or neglect it or simply walk on it. Or you don't even notice it. What's changed? Nothing. The value of the note remains $50, and however you treat it, it's value never changes. What determined it's value? The person who walked on it, or the value printed on the note? I guess we all know, it's the $50 label that determines its worth.

That's the note's self worth.

Your self worth never gets affected by what others think about you, or how others treat you. It lies deeply intact with self-realisation.

—What others think about you is their own reflection on you. How you react to them is how aware you're about yourself. That's where we begin to think how to not take things personally.
