Guest CharlieC Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Theres a forum I have been going on for a while now and its mostly full of shit :11: :11: but I found this gem tonight and was so pleased at finding something on there that was actually worth reading that I thought I would share it with you guys :friends: "A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a £20.00 Note. In the room of 200 he asked, "Who would like this £20 note?" 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 note. 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. "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 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." Remember to count your blessings, not your problems. If God brings you to it, he will bring you through it. Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!"
