Rs. 500 Bill and Your Value
March 26, 2008 – 11:33 am | by mkmSometimes, something we just need to be reminded!
A speaker started off his seminar on character building by:
holding up a Rs.500.00 bill. In the room of 100 people, he asked, “Who would like this Rs.500 bill?”
Hands started going up.
He said, “I am going to give this Rs. 500 to one of you
but first, let me do this.
He proceeded to crumple up the Rs. 500 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.
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 Rs.500.
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 and WHOSE 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.”
If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.
