The Golden Touch...

I have a L shape couch at home which is almost five years old. When we shifted to our new home, we wanted to get a new one in exchange of this, but then we had lot of other commitments so, the idea of new sofa got shelved. This sofa wore a new look except for the torn underneath masking. Hence, we decided to refurbish it. While we bought the material and searching for the carpenter we landed up in lock-down. Boredom occasionally motivates us to try something new, therefore we started fixing the torn masking. To our surprise we finished the work in a short span of time with the desired perfection.

The decision to restore the tattered masking abetted in saving money, gratification of doing it on our own, inspiration to try out new things and most of all assurance that anything which is broken could be fixed by us in a much better way without the help of others.

How heartening it is to comprehend that I can fix the broken, torn pieces of my life on my own. You have the key to recreate your life. Make use of this key wisely, de-clutter your thoughts, any thought which does not add value to your progress could be flushed off from your mind, try new things which would heal you physically & emotionally, uncover your passion, list down things which you enjoy doing, complain less, focus on your blessings, keep reinventing yourself.

Apply the Kintsugi while you mend your life. Kintsugi is a Japanese art of fixing the broken pot with gold and silver. The idea behind this is to recognize the value of the pot. When this process is done the pot becomes the masterpiece far better than the original one. Is it not our lives much more precious than these pots? Let’s rework on the broken pieces of our life, give it a golden touch…
