A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 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 note up. He then asked. "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were 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. "Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
Have you ever come to a point in your life where you felt so down, useless, unwanted and so much more to the extent that you just wanna give up on life?
My dear friend hope these lines from here somehow comforts and gives you strength to hold on. Take it my friends, it's for free.
There's a purpose for your pain, a strength for your struggle, and a gift of faithfulness to Father above. Don't give up.
It might sound not fit of me to say but hey my friend, you have to fight the battles which are laid before you, and seek the way to come victorious. You are great my friend, you have to hold on and win for YOU ARE BORN VICTORIOUS.
Know that all things work together for good. We may not understand the purpose of what we've been through but we need to trust that these are designed not to punish nor destroy us but to polish and bring out the the best in us. BE POSITIVE.
Now, let's come to see this side in life,
My professor way back college years once shared something valuable about the trunk of banana. The ever first layer from the outer of the trunk usually looks so damaged, dirty and scarred, but when we're going to remove a layer after another, we would come to see a polished, fresher, greener and refined trunk.
In this world, it is very inevitable not to be judged by just the aspects which are visible by people's naked eyes. Usually it's through the outward appearance like how do we dress up, how do we deliver words and speeches, or is the bag we carry expensive or not, is the mobile phone we have the latest or not, and the like.
There might be some instance in your life that you feel so inferior and start to think of a decrease of your worth in the world. Perhaps, it's also because of what people see and think about you. But my dearest friends, life is not all about that. It's all about you, like how you deal with the external forces that may try to low the esteem you have for yourself. Now, right at this very moment, I want you to know that YOU ARE MUCH MORE SPECIAL TO THOSE WHO LOVE YOU. And there are a whole lot more there who are looking up to you as their inspiration to move forward and be the best they can be.Kee going!
We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regrets things in the past. But remember, your are not your mistake; you are not your struggles; you are here to shape the best of your day and future.
We are humans, we are not perfect and more likely, we make mistakes. We might feel so bad sometimes for committing wrong, but do not push it to the point where you lose and can hardly find yourself anymore. Instead, learn from these and appear stronger and wiser in your journey. These mistakes won't measure your worth for YOU ARE PRICELESS IN WHATEVER INSTANCE YOU WILL UP INTO regardless of your past.
