     I'm going to ask you a couple of questions.  I want you to think about them and answer them truthfully.  Then I'm going to tell you a little story.  After you read the story, I'm going to ask you the same questions again, and I want to know if after you've read the story does your answers to the questions stay the same?

Here's the questions.  


"Have you thought about your self-worth?"  If so; Is there monetary value to who you are?  

"Do you consider yourself to be worthy?"  If so; how?  

"How valuable are you?"  

"Is there a price that you would pay for who you are?"  If so; why?

"How do you think your family, friends, or co-workers value you?"  Does it matter?

"If you could make changes in your life today to add value to your self-worth, what would you change and why?"

I want to share this story:

"A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $100 bill in the room of 200 people. He asked, "Who would like this $100 bill?"  Hands started going up, He said, "I am going to give this $100 bill to one of you but first, let me do this."  He proceeded to crumple the $100 bill.  He then asked, "Who still wants it?"  Still the hands went 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, he asked, "Now, who still wants it?"  Still the hands went up in the air, he replied, "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 $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 feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value!"

Now, my friends, after reading this story, has the answers to the questions from above changed?  Did the story make you think about your own self-worth?  Is there a monetary value to who you are?  Do you consider yourselves to be worthy?  Have you asked yourselves, "How valuable you are?"  "Would you pay a price for who you are?'  What would your network of family, friends and co-workers say about your value to them?  Would they say that you value yourself?

Has the story challenged you to consider the questions so that you can implement change?

     For me, it's one of those things that make you say, "uhm......"  There has been times when I've questioned my self-worth.  And, there's been more than a few times when I've hit the pavement face down, hard and it seemed like while I was down I was being kicked even harder to the point that I just wanted to stay on the ground with my head buried in the sand.  Hard times can make you think that you're worthless and of no value but, when you're on the ground, being kicked around by life in the muck and mire it's those times that you have to know and remind yourselves of the $100 bill, it's still a $100 bill.

My friends know that you're a priceless gem!  

You are diamond in the rough.  Hold on to the vision of what you want and who you are.  

Keep reminding yourselves of that $100 bill. 

Keep telling yourselves that you are priceless!

Keep telling yourselves that you are valuable! 

Keep telling yourselves that you are worthy.  

You can do it!

"That which you feel yourself to be you are, and you are given that which you are.  So assume the feeling that would be yours were you already in possession of your wish, and your wish must be realized...... So live in the feeling of being the one you want to be and that you shall be."
