" R20.00 Seminar
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a R20.00 note.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this R20 note?" Hands started
going up. He said, "I am going to give this R20 to one of you but first,
let me do this. He proceeded to crumple up the R20 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.
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 R20. 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.
Count your blessings, not your problems. "
**Countless times, this feeling of worthlessness had found its way into my heart, my thoughts and feelings...
Its a battle trying to find *true* meaning to one's life when even the deepest hole way beneath the earth's surface does'nt feel like
you have been plunged low enough...
have you ever stopped, and thought for a second about the cycle of life, your life?? how exactly do you crawl out of those depths of insanity and go on breathing?? Well no need to go further because the answer is simple....G O D...in all his Glory has always been within, around you. When your heart feels like melting granite, when the world seems like a distant dream, when people feign love and concern, when laughter pours out like acid from your throat, when smiles are upside down puddings and life just feels like another day walking through the sun.....who stands by and whispers strength into your soul, willpower into your breathe, courage and hope into your body, love into your heart??? Why its the Almighty off cause...
Believe, never give up...live your life like you are on borrowed time because truth is, YOU ARE!!!!**
