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
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 all
crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" 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 lose your value. The worth of
our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but in WHO WE ARE. You are
special - Don’t EVER forget it. "Count your blessings, not your problems.
And remember: amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic. If God
brings you to it - He will bring you through it.
NEVER FORGET WHO YOU ARE.........NEVER FORGET HOW TO DREAM
