The cracked bucket told the elderly woman one day, “I’ve been leaking water every morning for several years. I’m really sorry for being cracked and complicating your life. If you need to replace me with a better bucket, I understand.”
The elderly woman smiled and asked the bucket, “Do you honestly think I haven’t known about your cracks this whole time?. Look at all of the lovely flowers that bloom along the path from my cottage to the river.
I planted their seeds, but it’s up to you to water them every morning.”
Feeling well enough in life, work, career, and relationships are entirely dependent on how we perceive the gaps in our own bucket. Because we all have some flaws!
But are they fissures that corrupt, taint, and spoil our experience and desirability? Or do our cracks water a trail of flowers we haven’t yet noticed?
