Your Worth Isn't Defined By the External | Trent Shelton

About this video

Shelton argues that the primary obstacle to knowing one’s worth is allowing external factors to control internal well-being. He recounts how his dependency on his NFL career for validation caused him to lose himself when that career ended, and urges viewers to detach their self-worth from relationships, social media, careers, and other external sources. Shelton teaches that true value comes from within and, he believes, from God, and he encourages viewers to identify what controls them and cut those ties to reclaim their peace.
