A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up
a $20 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 this $20 to one of you - but
first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple the 20
dollar note up. He then asked. "Who still wants it?" Still
the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "what if
I do this?" 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, you 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 happened or what will
happen, 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
who we know, but by ...WHO WE ARE.
You are special - don't ever forget it."
Isn’t it about time you stopped looking
down to yourself everytime something
goes wrong?? Be proud of who you are : )
