Inspired by Jeremiah 17: 9

My heart (feelings) is deceitful about everything, and incurably so: who can know it?

I derived my self-worth from who I am and not how I am feeling about myself or my current circumstances. My feelings and emotions are fleeting and cannot be relied on to determine my self-worth. My actions should be reasonable and not based solely on emotional impulses.
