A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00
bill. In the room of 200 he asked, who would like this $20 bill?
Hands
started going up, He said: I am going to give it to someone, but first
let
me do this. He proceeded to crumple the bill up. He then asked, who still
wants it? Still the hands were up in the air.
Well, he replied, What if I do this? And he dropped it on the ground
and
started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now
crumpled and dirty. Now who still wants it? Still the hands went into
the air.
My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what
I
did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in
value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the
dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.
We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what happens to you,
you will never lose your value: dirty or clean crumpled or finely
creased, you are still priceless to those who love you.
The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or whom we know, but by
WHO WE ARE. You are special - Don't EVER forget it.
Count your blessings, not your problems.
Never be afraid to try something new.
