Very Cool message!!!
Subject: Your
Worth
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 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. 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 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. 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. Count your blessings, not your problems. Never be
afraid to try something new.
Remember that amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the
Titanic.
