How Valuable Are You ?
I used to work in a psychiatric hospital on the adolescent unit. Many of the youths I worked with had very low self-esteem. They thought they were of no
value. In one of the group exercises I’d ask them whether any
of them would be willing to sell me their eyes for $1,000,000.
I’d tell them, “Now, you’ll be blind the rest of your lives, but
at least you’ll be a millionaire.” They’d all say, “No, I’d never do
that.” I’d ask, “How many of you would be willing to sell me
your right arm for $100,000?” Again, the answer was “No!”—
I’d then respond, “What this tells me, then, is that each of you
are already worth at least $1,100,000.”
All of us are rich beyond measure, maybe not in dollars, but
in so many other ways. When was the last time you thanked
God for what you do have? d
