A short motivational video by Dr. Aziz asking who determines a person’s worth and arguing that self-worth should be chosen by the individual, not by external outcomes such as dating or hiring decisions. The speaker frames external validation as the default 'roller-coaster' and offers adopting a self-chosen sense of worth as a path to greater stability.
I have a life changing question for you. You ready? Who chooses your worth? Who decides if you're lovable or valuable or worthy? Is it them? Is it they? Well, she chooses if I'm lovable and worthy. Because if she wants to date me or not, they choose if I'm worth the book. Because if they hire me or not, are they really choosing your worth? Maybe they're choosing if they want to date you or if they want to hire you. But is that your worth? No. No, my friend, you. You are choosing your worth. And the question is, are you really choosing it or are you letting it be determined by external factors? Because if you do, and trust me, that's the default setting. It is a bumpy ro roller coaster ride. And if you want to get off that ride and feel a more stable sense of lovability, of worth, of confidence, then you must first realize that you are the one that gets to choose. Not the results. Not if they want to date me or if they want to hire me. No. But your worth.
