"Mirror, mirror
on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all?"

"Sorry child, pardon be
What is it you ask of me?"

"Please dear sister
I'm all despair
Tell me of my charm and wares"

"Sorry dear, I'm afraid I can't
When flattery spoils, true love shan't"

"What is this? How can it be?
Tell me of my worth Chere!"

"Sorry child, pardon be
But your worth can't come from me
You have it in you
You always shall
Believe in that
and you can't fail"

Don't look to a "magic mirror" or other worldly device to determine you inner worth; you're strong and beautiful, and you have been all along.
