A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE; NEVER FORGET YOUR WORTH!!!


Ever noticed anything about a glass of champagne? Well I have! As a matter of fact, quite a number of things. The idea of a glass of Champagne conjures up feelings of good living, elegance, sociability, and somehow, that only the best in life is good enough.


I remember the first time I had to serve tea to a couple of clients. I had offered a variety of tea flavors including 'nettle' which was considered the 'worst tea flavor ever'. I hadn't tasted it, so I had no idea what it was like. Four of the clients condemned it, saying it was everything but a pleasant tea. At least, from their experiences with it. Some said it was too artificial, some said it was yet another weed that should have been pulled and thrown out like every other dandelion or better still, be dowsed with a weed killer, some said it had an unpleasant smell....the list could go on forever. But the surprising thing was that, the tea that was being condemned by all four clients was requested for twice by the fifth client. He had slowly and quietly sipped his tea like a glass of champagne, while others had been analyzing and criticizing the other tea flavors they decided to try. When asked what he liked about the 'so called nettle' he said 'a healthy life'. He listed out a few benefits of nettle, including a reduction of hypertension, asthma, diabetes, the risk of prostate cancer, skin problems, elimination of cramps and many more which they probably never even knew about.

Now with respect to life, it only meant one thing: 'Value'. Everyone is special and valuable in their own different ways regardless of how they taste or smell, walk or talk, look or dress, Live or love. And if one person doesn't see the 'one' good in you, values or respects you, treats you like a piece of shit or takes you for granted, there are a billion and one people who would adore you, treasure you immensely and gladly sip you like a cool glass of champagne.

You might feel unwanted and unworthy to one person, but you are priceless to another. So when you are being treated badly, dig on your heels, stand up tall and take that walk because no matter how good you are to people, there will always be one negative person who criticizes you or finds all faults in you. But always remember you are a child of the king and you are priceless to him so never ever forget your worth.

Have a blessed and beautiful day. :)

  2. It's so very true, we never know the true worth of something unless we learn more about it, analyse it from a different perspective and all that. Everything has value, it's just how we look at them. Nice post!
