While we all live as if everything in this earthly life is perfect - the only place perfection exist is in Heaven!
Therefore before you get overly hung up on your worth - get over yourself!
For all {every single one of us have sinned and committed acts against others and/or opposed God} thus fall short of the Glory of God! - Rom 3:23
Ecclesiastes 11:9-12:14
9 Rejoice, young man, while you are young, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Follow the inclination of your heart and the desire of your eyes, but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgement.
10 Banish anxiety from your mind, and put away pain from your body; for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.
12 Remember your creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come, and the years draw near when you will say, ‘I have no pleasure in them’;
2 before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return with* the rain;
3 on the day when the guards of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent, and the women who grind cease working because they are few, and those who look through the windows see dimly;
4 when the doors on the street are shut, and the sound of the grinding is low, and one rises up at the sound of a bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low;
5 when one is afraid of heights, and terrors are in the road; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along* and desire fails; because all must go to their eternal home, and the mourners will go about the streets;
6 before the silver cord is snapped,* and the golden bowl is broken, and the pitcher is broken at the fountain, and the wheel broken at the cistern,
7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the breath* returns to God who gave it.
** Vanity of vanities, says the Teacher;*
all is vanity.
Vanity - {noun, plural vanities} **
1. excessive pride in one's appearance, qualities, abilities, achievements, etc.; character or quality of being vain; conceit:
Failure to be elected was a great blow to his vanity.
2. an instance or display of this quality or feeling.
3. something about which one is vain or excessively proud:
His good looks are his greatest vanity.
4. lack of real value; hollowness; worthlessness:

9 Besides being wise, the Teacher* also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging many proverbs.
10 The Teacher* sought to find pleasing words, and he wrote words of truth plainly.
11 The sayings of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings that are given by one shepherd.*
12 Of anything beyond these, my child, beware. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for that is the whole duty of everyone.
14 For God will bring every deed into judgement, including* every secret thing, whether good or evil.
... Amen...
