has made public a post he received from his only
brother on Wednesday. The popular actor, TV
host said he fell in love with the message the
post bears and wishes y’all will also do.
“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.’
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 sisters, brothers and
friends, have a great day and remember to smell
the flowers on your side of the path!”
