Discover what you are, to know what you are worth.

Important and interesting phrase "Discover what you are to know what you are worth", if I believe that we have all gone through this, we believe that we can not arrive, that we are not worth it, that there are superior people who can do better than us and that This is not always the case, we still need to know each other a bit in order to reach goals that seemed unattainable.

An Indian water carrier had only two large vessels that hung on the ends of a stick and that he carried on his shoulders. One had several cracks through which water escaped, so that at the end of the road only half remained, while the other was perfect and kept its contents intact. This happened daily. The vessel without cracks was very proud of its achievements because it was known to be suitable for the purposes for which it was created. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection and of not being able to fulfill its purpose correctly.

So after two years he told the water carrier:

-I am ashamed and I want to apologize to you because because of my cracks you only get half the value you should receive for your work.

The water carrier answered:
-When we return home I want you to notice the beautiful flowers that grow along the way.

So did the jar and, indeed, saw many beautiful flowers along the path; but she still felt sorry because in the end she only kept half of the water at the beginning.

The water carrier then said:

  • Did you notice that flowers only grow on your side of the road? I wanted to take the positive side of your cracks and sowed flower seeds. Every day you have watered them and for two years I have been able to collect them. If you were not exactly what you are, with your capacity and your limitations, it would not have been possible to create that beauty.

We are all cracked vessels somewhere, but there is always the possibility of taking advantage of the cracks to obtain good results.

In life sometimes we do not trust ourselves, we waste time observing, to imitate and achieve the best, but we neglect all our potential that we carry within. Quote: "To be successful you do not have to do extraordinary things, you have to do ordinary things, extraordinarily well!

Trust in you and if you take advantage of your cracks you will be surprised at what you can achieve.
