A VERY GOOD MOTIVATION FOR ONESELF!

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 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 all 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.

You are special -  Don't ever forget it!

Please Pass this onto everyone in your email address book.You Will
never know the lives it touches, the hurting hearts it speaks to, or the
Hope that it can bring!
