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 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 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.
