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!
Please pass this onto everyone in your email address
book. You will never know the lives it touches, the hurting
hearts it speaks to, or the hope that it can bring!
