Your self-worth should matter the most to yourself. If you think you worth “so much” and you expect others to agree with you, then it is not self-worth but auctioning for a “price tag”; i.e. you are waiting for others to suggest a “price” to indicate your “worth”. If you really care about your self-worth, you should not care about the “price” someone says who you are worth. If you let others decide “how much you are worth”, you are simply disrespecting yourself.
How do you increase your self-worth as far as you are concerned? The true value of your self-worth means anything only if it makes you happier. If you become happier and happier each day, that means your self-worth is increasing. If you make yourself feel unhappy, you are effectively decreasing your self-worth; i.e. that is self-sabotage.
Do you need to achieve any success to make yourself feel happy; i.e. increase your self-worth? A happy life is the only successful life as far as oneself should be concerned. If you become a billionaire, top scientist, respected person, famous singer, or other so-called “achievement”, it is your worth in the eyes of other people. There is nothing wrong to feel proud about it. However, this is simply not self-worth.
What achievement can increase your self-worth; i.e. increase your happiness? The achievement that you need is Enlightenment. When you can abide pleasantly at all times, with no mental suffering, you will never become unhappy ever again. You will have no fear, obligation, and guilt (FOG). This is achieved by abandoning greed, hatred, and delusion; perfecting your virtue, equanimity, and wisdom. You will live in the present moment, no regret or remorse about the past, and no worry or expectation about the future. This is the greatest self-worth that one can gain. Your self-worth or inner-worth need not have any link or fetter to the outer-worth.
If you were born without hands and legs, or even bedridden and seemingly not able to do anything, can you be successful? You are not successful if you feel unhappy; but you can become successful if you find the way and walk the path in your heart. Happiness and Success
