The Worth of Your Life

At a motivational seminar not too long ago a well known speaker started off his talk by holding up a $100 bill.  With several hundred people in the room he asked, "Who would like to have this $100 bill?"

Everyone lifted their hands.
He said, "I am going to give this $100 to one of you, but first, let me do this."
The speaker proceeded to crumple up the $100 bill.  Then he asked, "Who still would like this $100 bill?"

Again, all hands present went up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "What about if I do this?"
He dropped the $100 bill on the floor and began to grind it with his shoe.
He then pick it up...all crumpled and dirty.  "Do you still want it?"

 Up in air all hands were lifted once again.
"My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson today.  Hopefully it is one that you will never forget.  No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value.  It was still worth $100."
"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 may feel as though we are worthless.  But, no matter what has happened or what will happen in this life, you will never lose your value.  Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless."

The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by who we are.

You are special.

Never forget it!
