Not knowing why you live simply means you don't know what is your purpose here on earth or you have no idea what is your life for.
Some people says, "I'm just a trash. I'm just a waste of space" without knowing that ALL OF US HAVE PURPOSE IN LIFE. Each one of us have different perspective or outlook on our life's purpose.

Not knowing your worth means if you don't know who you really are, you'll never realize just how special you are.
Self-esteem or Self-worth is the manifestation of how we see ourselves, but many outside influences shape it. It is time to realize your self-worth. Knowing your value will affect how you treat yourself and eventually how you value others.Appreciating yourself makes or leads you to appreciate the world. Know your value and don’t accept being treated in a way less than you deserve.
Surrounding yourself with good people can also boosts your self-esteem because of the positive vibes they have. Through the people around you, you form a set of beliefs through which you define yourself, which then forms your self-concept or who you say you are. But the most helpful way to know your self-worth is to LOVE YOURSELF.
You need to be self-aware in order for you to resolve your mental conflicts and you can able to express your true self, fulfill your desire and realizing your worth and your purpose.
