You Are Still Priceless
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. Dirty
or clean, crumpled or finely creased,
you are still priceless
love you all........susan
