Something to think about:
BEING VALUABLE...
Here’s a thought; have you ever really looked at a $20 note. It is not valuable because of its colour, it is not valuable because of what it is made of, and it cannot do anything of its own accord so it is not valuable because of what it can do. Why is it valuable then? It is valuable because of what it is. You can take the $20 and scrunch it up, and jump on it, or fold it out of shape, but, it is still a $20 note, and it is still valuable.
The same is so true of each of us. People are valuable, not because of our abilities, but because of whom we are. Sometimes life can distort us out of shape and we feel that we have been jumped on, but, we are still who we are despite our crumpled feelings, and we are still valuable.
So many books written today speak about this very thought, and encourage us to hold on to the fact that whether we are rich or poor, largish or smallish, a blue collar worker or not, that we are valuable in our own right. The next time you look in the mirror, give yourself a smile, stand up tall and remind yourself that you are valuable.
