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 this
$20 to one of you, but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple the $20 dollar 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," he
said, "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 has
happened, or what will happen, you will never lose your
value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still
priceless ... and especially 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."
Count your blessings, not your problems.
Never be afraid to try something new.
If you do not pass this on, you may never know the lives it
touches, the hurting hearts it speaks to, or the hope that
it can bring.
And remember..... Amateurs built the ark. Professionals
built the Titanic.
For my friends........even if you believe you are special to
no one else.. |
