Who would like this $20 bill?

Postby Warmsoul/Jeanie13 » Thu Mar 11, 2010 2:22 pm

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. Dirty
or clean, crumpled or finely creased,

YOU ARE STILL PRICELESS ! !

Thanks Warmie,

Needed to hear that on a day like today.

Not going well. Often I don't think of myself as being good enough. Quite often you anecdotes really give me a pickup.

It should be my thanking you. Having you and the others about, gives me reasons to smile and be thankful. Don't feel so lonely when in here. Does that sound crazy or what? LOL

Thank you TackingIntoTheWind, just for everything.
