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 ha lf 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.'
🍶 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.
🍶 You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.
🍶 SO, to all of my cracked pot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!
🍶 And send this to any or all of your Cracked Pot friends and see what a smile you will put on their faces.
🍶 Don't forget the Cracked Pot that sent it to you!!
