Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 I don't normally pass things like this to my groups but thought it worth forwarding. Please forgive me if I have offended anyone. Lori Owen 20.00 It may just make your day and help you appreciate yourself. 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 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 that 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. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
