$20.00
Sometimes
we just need to be reminded!
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 up the $20 dollar bill.
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 has 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 DO LOVE
you.
The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we
know,
But by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE.
You
are special - Don't EVER forget it." |
