How to Live a “Worthwhile Life”

Everyone wants to live a life that’s worth it; that’s worthwhile. Instead, we live in a constant state of tension of not knowing how to define worthiness, or worse, not living up to whatever standards society dictates as being ‘significant.’

In regards to the definition, our perception of worthiness is often influenced by what we value most.

The size of your home or the quality of the possession within.
