Count Your Blessings, Not Your Problems

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 continued, "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 and dirty.
"Now who still wants this $20?"
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 loose 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.
