What are you worth?

-Something I read and had to share with others...


An incident transpired when Muhammad Ali's daughters arrived at his home wearing closes that were quite revealing. Here is the story as told by one of his daughters:

"When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila, and I up to my father's suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged many hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day.

My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to.
Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected.
Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell.
Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You've got to work hard to get to them."

He looked at me with serious eyes. "Your body is sacred. You're far more precious than diamonds and pears, and you should be covered too."





-Don't forget my friend that you to are worth more that Diamonds and Gold. You are precious and worth someone loving and treating you as such! :)



(Dedicated to my Mother that use to tell me all the time that I am worth more that Diamonds and Gold!!! Happy Birthday Mom...)
