(I got this email.. just wanted to pass the good vibes along!)
PRICELESS
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by
holding up a $20.00 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 up the $20 dollar bill.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
All the hands were up in the air.
Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"
He then dropped the $20 on the ground
and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.
And asked "Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
My friends, we 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
The worth of our lives comes NOT in what we do or who we know,
but by WHO WE ARE
You are special- Don't EVER forget it."
