What is your worth?
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 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
all 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 has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
You are special - Don't ever forget it! "Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow
tomorrow's dreams"
