Self-Worth

Dan Millman explains that self-worth is distinct from self-esteem, which is more about confidence and liking oneself. Self-worth, he says, is about our sense of deservedness and how much we believe we deserve success and happiness. This sense of deservedness often operates subconsciously and can lead to self-sabotage if not properly addressed 1. Dan suggests that recognizing our innate value as human beings is crucial for overcoming these limitations 2.
