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. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but in WHO WE ARE. You are special - Don’t EVER forget it."Count your blessings, not your problems. And remember: amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic. If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.

Look For The Gold
Andrew Caregie came to America form Scotland as
a young boy. He started out by doing odd jobs and ended up as a one of the
largest steel manufactures in United States. At one time, he had 43
millionaires working for him. A million dollars is a lot of money today, but in
the 1920s it was worth much more.
Someone once asked Mr. Carneige how he dealt
with the people. Andrew Carneige replied, ” Dealing with people is a lot like
digging for gold: When you go digging for an ounce of gold you have to move
tons of dirt. But when you go digging, you don’t go looking for the dirt, you
go looking for the gold.”
Andrew Carneige’s reply has very important
message. Though sometimes it may not be apparent there is something positive in
every person and every situation. We have to dig deep to look for the positive.
Always look for the positive in every moment
your life that keeps you happy forever.
