Worthiness!


I am confused about the word worthiness, please can you help.
Example situation:
How am I just as worthy now, today as I was a year ago 100lbs heavier, jobless, no family and an alcoholic? Today, I have lost the weight, have a loving partner, I have a job I love and alcohol free for 8 months.

I suppose I would just like to really understand what worthiness is and how I can explain this to my clients. Thank you!
