Twenty Dollars


A well know speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill.
In the room of 200 people, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up.
He said, " I am going to give the $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple the twenty 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 started to grind it into the floor with his shoe, 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 in the eyes of those who love you.
You are special--Don't ever forget it!!!"
