Twenty Dollar bill

Hello Dears!

The weekend is upon us already. Hope you’ve been having a great week? Do you smile more these days? Learn to chill, okay? Since the time of old, worry has never solved anything, it only consumes.

I’m so excited to share this with you. I was doing some research online this week when I came across this story. It opened my eyes A LOT.  

Here it is:

COUNT YOUR BLESSING, NOT YOUR PROBLEMS

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 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 the $20 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 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 love you.  The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or whom we know, but by WHO WE ARE. You are special, Yes,  you!  Don't EVER forget it.

Count your blessings, not your problems and never be afraid to try something new.
