$100.00
Sometimes we just need to be reminded!!
For those of you who don't know, I am a
motivational speaker/business owner. Sometimes I
start off my seminar by holding up a $100.00
bill. In a room of 200-300 people, I will
ask, "Who would like this $100 bill?? Hands start
going up. Then I say, "I am going to give this
$100 to one of you but first, let me do this. I
proceed to crumple up the $100 dollar bill.
Then I will ask, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands will be up in the air.
Then I will ask, "What if I do this?"
And I drop it on the ground and start to grind it
into the floor with my shoe. I pick it up, now
crumpled and dirty.
"Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands fly 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 $100.
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 to those who DO LOVE you.
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."
Count your blessings, not your problems.
And remember: amateurs built the ark .
professionals built the Titanic.
