“I discovered that my insecurities and my flaws were things that I actually need to embrace, and I let them become my superpowers”. ~ Skylar Grey
There was a king who owned a very valuable diamond, one of the rarest and most perfect in the world. One day he dropped the diamond and a deep scratch marred its face.
The king summoned for the best jewel experts in the land to remove this blemish, but all agreed that the best way to remove the scratch was to cut away the part of the surface, reducing its weight and value.
Finally one expert appeared and assured the king he could repair the diamond and actually increase its value. His self confidence was convincing and the king authorized the artisan to go to work.
In a few days he returned the diamond. The king was amazed to find that the diamond now was etched with a tiny, lovely rose. On closer examination he discovered that the former scratch had become the stem of this exquisite flower.
Now No more beautiful diamond existed anywhere in the world.
Similarly, your flaws, weaknesses and even the tragedies in your life can be the pathway to great blessings.
