Once upon a time, an old woman carried two pots to fetch water each day. One pot was perfect, while the other had a crack. By the time she reached home, the cracked pot was only half full. The perfect pot felt proud, but the cracked pot felt ashamed.
One day, the cracked pot apologized, feeling it had failed the woman. The woman smiled and said, "Did you notice the flowers growing along your side of the path? I knew about your flaw, so I planted seeds there. Every day, you’ve watered them, and now, I have beautiful flowers to decorate my home.
~Embrace your flaws; they can lead to unexpected beauty.
