yeah....Things will only get better

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?"

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 crumpled and dirty.

"Now, who still wants it?"

Still the hands went into the air.

Here lies a very valuable lesson; No matter what
I do to the money, you still want it because it
did not decrease in value. It is 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 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.
