♥ DAILY LOVE TIP – Tuesday January 3, 2012
Hello valued and valuable ♥Friends,
I just found this story that has been around for a long time yet I think it is appropriate to share at this beginning to this New Year….a reminder of your importance and value no matter the circumstances that are happening. ….always remember that you are priceless to those who ♥LOVE you no matter what….
THE $20 BILL – Author unknown
[please convert to your own currency]
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 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 up the $20 dollar bill.
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.
“Now, who still wants it♥”
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 $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.
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.”
Questions for you: What does this story bring up or touch in you♥ Are there times when you don’t feel like you are worth very much♥ Do you ask yourself the question: “Am I worth it♥”…. And wondering if you ask are you worthy of being ♥LOVE-d♥ What value do you place on yourself and your ♥LOVE♥
♥MIRRORING PRACTICE: share with someone and have them ♥MIRROR you for a minimum of 5 minutes about the impact of the story. Then switch and they share and you ♥MIRROR them. Alternatively, or as well, write about it in your journal…..
For the next month would you be willing to experiment with the affirmation –
Let us know how you go with it….
I am just finishing a book which I think is both inspiring and haunting and certainly speaks of a person’s worth. ” Oranges and Sunshine” was written by English social worker and activist Margaret Humpreys. She tells her journey of her chance discovery that approx 160,000 British children were shipped to Australia. She tells their story of their treatment and what became of them and what she is doing to help them salvage their lives. The film follows the book very closely.
Thanks ♥Jude,
I remember seeing the film and being very touched by the story. I found Margaret’s dedication to helping “them to salvage their lives” very inspiring and amazing. ♥LOVE Susie.
