Worth 

 I was thinking about the word worth for quite a while, trying to think about what I wanted to write about in this blog post. I realized the word worth has so many different meanings and Ideas.  But when I looked up the definition I discovered that the word worth is all based off your personal opinion. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/worth .The definition is open ended. The first definition that dictionary.com gives for worth is  

good or important enough to justify (what is specified): adviceworth taking; a place worth visiting.

YOU have to decide if the advice is worth taking, it’s your opinion and life experiences that will make you decide if something is good or important enough to justify. Everybody’s opinion on this will be different.

Worth is based off individuals and the way they have grown up or been taught. People’s opinion on their own self-worth is based off many different things that may have happened in that person’s life. Somebody that grew up in a very poor town might believe that they are worth nothing, while a person that has grown up in a rich town might believe that they are worth everything. But sometimes it also might be the exact opposite from that, completely flipped around. It’s all dependent on the way the person thinks. What do you think worth is judged from? It’s all personal opinion.  

So what if you are unsure about what is important or good enough to justify. What if you don’t know if it’s really “worth” your time or not. What if you don’t know what your own self-worth is. That is why now days we have people telling us and teaching us how to judge worth.

Maybe you don’t know what your worthy of? Your own self-worth you’re confused about. There are books you can read about that to. http://www.whatisyourselfworth.com/

There is a step-by-step guide for you to build self-worth available http://www.wikihow.com/Build-Self-Worth

Or if its money your confused about. There are books you can read to know if it’s worth it or not worth that financial decision. http://www.amazon.com/Worth-Not-Profitable-Financial-Questions/dp/1455508446

This is why yes, worth is judges by personal opinion only but there are many things and people that can influence your personal opinion and the way we think of our own worth or others worth. So what are your thoughts on your own worth? Was it worth your time to read this blog?

  1. Is anyone else surprised but the things wiki-how tells you how to do? I didn't know that working on my self-worth could be broken down into just a few steps! But seriously, it is definitely interesting that we look to outside sources to help us with something that should be internal.

  2. I really liked this. I enjoy the thought of being able to change your own worth all by what you think. Worth definitely does depend on how a person views themselves or others or an item or experience.

  4. It's true that people do put their self-esteem down. That's what worth technically is.
