“Self-esteem comes from who you are and what you do is secondary ”
— Russell Brand
Simplified Meaning:
Your sense of self-worth or how you feel about yourself should primarily come from who you are as a person, rather than from the things you achieve or do. For example, think about a friend who is always kind, honest, and supportive. People value and respect this friend not because of their job or success but because of the good qualities they have. Sometimes, people focus too much on their jobs, grades, or how much money they make, thinking these things define them. But even without those achievements, a person can still be valuable and worthy based on their character and actions. If you are reliable, caring, and treat others well, this is where true self-esteem comes from. When you understand this, you can feel good about yourself regardless of your accomplishments. This way, even if you fail at something, you will still feel confident because your self-worth is based on who you are inside.
