My True Value

I was once tainted by my own choice.  I thought that time I had the best choice of my life.  I was crumpled and painted all over with dirt. My career was on the verge of crashing.  I just hold on to that thin knot in my head. I was angry of myself.   I was ashamed of myself.  I was angry I made that choice.  And so guilty I am for everything I did. I am not worth anything!  I can't  move on.   Sulking  was only my resolve.

Not until I chance upon this post on facebook.

A speaker started off by holding up a 50 peso bill. In the room of 100, he asked. “Who would like this 50 peso bill?" Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this 50 peso to one of you - but first, let me do this."

He proceeded to crumple the 50 peso note up. He then asked. “Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, “what if I do this?" 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, 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 50 peso.

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 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 who we know, but by …WHO WE ARE.

This made me realize my true value even I was once a dirt bag.  I can now think positively and be positive about everything.

All I can say is: 

And I am on to..............
