Wednesday morning inspiration
Subject: Your Worth
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by
holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200 people he
asked, 'Who would like this $20 bill?' 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 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?' He dropped
it on the floor, and started to grind it with his
shoe. He picked it up, now all 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 is 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 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 who we know, but by who we are.'
You are Divine. . . Don't ever forget it. Always count your blessings, not the problems in your life.
