A water bearer had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole. One of the pots had a crack in it, and at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. The poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection. It spoke to the water bearer one day, “I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. I have been able to deliver only half my load because this crack is my side. Because of my flaws, you don’t get full value from your efforts.”
The water bearer replied, “As we return to the master’s house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path. Notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot’s side. I have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flowers seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you have watered them. You are the cause of the beauty of these lovely flowers.”
Each of us has our own unique flaws. We are all cracked pots. However, if we will allow it, nothing goes to waste. Do not be afraid of your flaws. Acknowledge them... Take advantage of them, and you, too, can be the cause of beauty.

SELF CONFIDENCE
One who believes himself / herself will achieve their goals. One who has difficulty in believing himself / herself will not believe others and they will find it difficult to achieve things. They will find it difficult even to make an attempt. The reason for lack of self confidence is due to lack of self belief and fear of failures. When we are not exposed to a new situation, we will have lot of reservations leading to have disbelief in us and in our decisions & actions. Main reason for all this is lack of opportunity to try newer things.

“Jo til mein hai tel, jo jagmag mein hai aag,tera sai hai tere andar, jag sake to jaag”
(Hindi saying by poet - Saint Kabit)
Sesame seeds contain oil within, Flint stones hold potential sparks,Your potential lies within you, awake to this fact.
Please note that sesame seeds need to be crushed to produce oil... that flint stones need to struck against each other to create a spark of fire... similarly we need to awake ourselves to the potential within us.
Self-image is the platform from where all our actions flow. Each action, feeling and behaviour cannot but be consistent with this image on our internal mirrors. To change our results, we must change the negative blueprint we have created over time.
Since repetition created the state of our current image, it will also take repetition to change our state of mind from unhealthy to healthy. This is where most of us breakdown. We simply don’t muster the stamina or the faith to repeat the right behaviours and action long enough to create a healthy self-image, that can lead us to become more than we think we are.
We must build and modify our self-image through positive auto suggestions... those words and pictures that trigger the positive images to give us the power to move in the right direction. Over time, these new directions lead us to feel better about ourselves, enhance our character, and release within us the power to be our best.
We must move From TO I think I will I will try I can I might I know May be Definitely I hope so Okay I don’t know Fantastic Let me see Great Possibly Always Perhaps Absolutely Sometimes Sure
Auto-suggestions must be always in present tense, will all positive terms and should be done ideally in the morning from bed and night to bed.
“What the mind can conceive, the man can achieve”There is a HeroIf you look inside your heartYou don’t have to be afraid of what you areThere is an answer if you reach into your soulAnd that sorrow that you know will melt awayAnd then a hero comes along with the strength to carry onAnd you cast your fears aside & you know you can surviveSo when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you & be strongAnd you will finally see the truthThat the hero lies in you !(A song by Mariah Carrey)
