We live in a society that often forces us to compare ourselves to others. For example, if we don’t make a certain amount of money, get married by a certain age or look and act like the people around us, we may feel like there’s something wrong with us. We may feel like we’re not enough as we are.

Amid all of this self-doubt, it’s easy to totally disregard all the wonderful, unique things about yourself. And that’s a huge mistake. To transform all of those bad feelings and discover your true worth, you’ll need to do some serious inner work.
