Self Worth Continued

That last sounds as though self worth depends on planning. I don't really mean that any impulsive or desperate action destroys worth.

Perhaps I'm saying that self worth and self respect are not the same. One might be intrinsic, the other might be built on one's actions in life, how one deals within the givens, the limitations and resources available.

I like the Desiderata, especially the line that says You have as much right to be here as a rock or a tree.

Self worth supports survival. Self respect supports thriving.
