Pablo, with his face dejected thinking, meets with his friend Laura in a bar. To drink a coffee. Depressed, he discharged his anguish ... that work, that money, that the relationship with his partner, that his vocation! ...
Everything seemed to be wrong in his life. Laura reached into her purse, pulled out a $ 50 bill and said: Do you want this ticket?
Pablo, a bit confused at first, replied: Sure, Laura ... it's 50 dollars, who would not want them? Then Laura took the bill in one of her fists and crumpled it into a small ball. Showing the squeezed little ball to Pablo, he asked again:
And now, do you want it too? Laura, I do not know what you want with this, but it's still 50 dollars. Of course I'll take it if you give it to me.
Laura unfolded the crumpled bill, threw it to the ground and rubbed it with her foot, lifting it then dirty and marked. Do you still want it?
Look, Laura, I still do not understand where you're going, but it's a $ 50 bill and as long as you do not break it, it keeps its value ...
Pablo, you should know that although sometimes something does not go as you want, although life wrinkles or tramples you, you are still as valuable as you have always been ...
What you should ask yourself is how much you really are worth and not hit that you can be at a certain time. Pablo stared at Laura without saying a word, while the impact of the message penetrated deep into his brain.
Laura put the crumpled bill next to her on the table and with a knowing smile added: Take it, save it, so you can remember this when you feel bad ... but you owe me a new $ 50 bill to be able to use it with the next one friend who needs it. He kissed her on the cheek and walked towards the door.
Pablo looked at the bill again, smiled, kept it and with a renewed energy called the waiter to pay the bill ... How many times do we doubt our own value, that we really deserve more and that we can get it if we propose it? Of course, the mere purpose is not enough ... Action is required and there are many paths.
Deep down I have a little discomfort with this story. I always have the feeling that maybe I can not convey the true meaning of the message.
How many times do we doubt our own value, that we really DESERVE MORE and that we CAN GET IT if we propose it?
Of course, the mere purpose is not enough ... ACTION is required to achieve the benefits. I know that you can and there are countless ways to get it. I hope that we can travel them together very soon (for this you only need to make your decision to do so).
