posticon Self Worth


Hi all,

I'm new here, so forgive me if this has been posted before. It came to me at a time when I was frequently self-harming and it helped a little.


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 the $20 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 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 love you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or whom we know, but by WHO WE ARE.

You are special - Don't EVER forget it. You may never know the lives you touch, the hurting hearts you speak to, or the hope that you can bring.

Count your blessings, not your problems.
Never be afraid to try something new.



I hope that it helps someone as it once helped me ~ the message is something I think we should all be reminded of from time to time.

With love and hope,
Ceitidh

(((((((Cookie)))))))))

Just take it one day at a time, love. The slip is over with now; forgive, forget and move on. Remember, that you are stronger than you know (and you're in my thoughts).

I'm glad you had fun at gymnastics...that's something I always wanted to be good at, but I was just....terrible. Lol! Keep hanging in there, honey.
