Self-Esteem, Self-Worth

"Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God" (D&C 18:10).

Self-worth is the view or picture that one has of oneself as a competent, worthy, and lovable individual. Worth was given to every individual in the pre-mortal existence. That worth will continue only if the spirit is nurtured. Unfortunately the vicissitudes of this earth life may prohibit many from receiving the nurture they need. As a result, there are many who feel isolated, lonely, depressed, and anxious. Some become pleasers and underachievers, while others remain passive or become aggressive and cause havoc in their relationships.
