Worth The Value

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by
Holding up a US$1000 note.. In the room of 200
people, he asked, who would like this US$1000
note? Hands started going up. He said, I am
going to give this to one of you, but First, let
me do this. He proceeded to crumple the note up.
He then asked, who still wants it? Still the
hands were up in the air. Well, he replied What
if I do this? 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 hands went into
the air.

My friends, you all have 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 US$1000.

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 that 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 whom we know, but by whom we are. You are
special, don't ever forget it!

Pass this on to those you care about. You will
never know the lives it touches, the Hurting
hearts it speaks to, or the hope that it can
bring.

Always count your blessings, not your problems
