A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding $50 bill. In the room of 200, he asked "Who would like to have this $50?" Hands started going up.
He said, "I'm going to give this $50 to one of you but let me do this." He proceeded to crumpled up the $50 dollar.
"Who still wants it?" The hands were still up in the air.
"Well, What if i do this?" He dropped the dollar on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoes. He picked it up the crumbled and dirty $50 note. "Now who still wants it?" The hands continue to rise up in the air.
"My dear friends, we have learnt a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you will still want it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth that $50."
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled and ground into the dirt by the decisions we have made and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen, we will never lose our value. Dirty / clean, crumpled or finely creased, we are still priceless to the people who love us.
The worth of our lives does not comes in what we do or who we know, but by who we are.
