OUR TRUE WORTH

Some times we have a bad day.............For any number of reasons. You know when it seems like
a World Against Betty day! Some times we just need to be reminded we really are special. I love this story.
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by: holding up a $20.00 bill. In a room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 dollar bill?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give the $20 dollar bill to one of you but first, let me do this.
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.
He then ask, "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 he said we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did, it did not decrease in value.
It was still worth $20 dollars.
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.
You are special......don't ever forget it."
Count your blessings, not your problems.
NEVER give up, just remember: amateurs built the ark..........professionsals built the Titanic.
All we have is THIS MINUTE-RIGHT NOW.............enjoy!
