Kintsukuroi – meaning “golden repair” – is the Japanese craft of fixing broken ceramics using lacquer mixed with gold. The repair becomes part of the history of the object. And a new, more resilient, uniquely beautiful artwork emerges.
In the same way, you may fall, fail, and break in life. But you’ll get up and repair yourself, over and over. You may never be the same person you were before, but your imperfections will make you more beautiful, stronger, and a better person.
So, live your life to the fullest. Don’t rely on others to make you happy. Create that happiness yourself. Stare in awe at the beauty around you. And appreciate yourself for the person you are – imperfections and all.

Now think about what you’re grateful for in your life, and write down three positive things about your day. Do this for the next ten days. Then share your list with three close friends. Together, experience the impact these things have had on your life.
