You alone are the judge of your worth and your goal is to discover infinite worth in yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks.
Interpretation
Self-worth originates from within, independent of external opinions.
This quote by Deepak Chopra emphasizes the importance of self-judgment and the pursuit of recognizing oneβs inherent value. It suggests that true self-worth is not determined by others' perceptions or opinions, but by an internal understanding and appreciation of oneself. It encourages individuals to seek and acknowledge their infinite value despite external challenges or criticisms.

According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.
I will practice acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.

Self-pity is a dead-end road. You make the choice to drive down it. It's up to you to decide to stay parked there or to turn around and drive out.
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding.
There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel no one else has a right to blame us.
