MAREES MOTIVATIONAL WEEKLY
Why compare yourself or your life to others when you are utterly original and unique.
I hope you enjoy this wee read/message to kickstart your mindset for your week!
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full..
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream.
'I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.'
The old woman smiled, 'Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?'
'That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them.
For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.
Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.'
MAREES WEEKLY WORD;
Uniqueness is the quality of being the only one of its kind.Its the ability to celebrate the individuality of all human and animal kinds.
Each of us has our own unique flaw.
But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.
When you can celebrate your uniqueness rather than trying to hide it or fix it...you too flourish.
And recognize that you've just gotta take each person for who they are and look for the good in them too.
How boring life would be if we were all the same!
