No. Authentic self-worth comes from an internal value system, not from simple achievement. Self-worth comes from the positive results of your effort. You may have learned something about yourself or gained the experiential confidence to attempt more difficult challenges. These effects are genuinely valuable.

You might not have learned anything from your “success,” or you could have learned something equally valuable by not meeting your objective.
