When it comes to thinking or feeling that you have been broken more times than you can count, think of all of the battles scars you have gained over the years. Those scars are reminders of when life tried to take you down but today you are still standing. Think of the art of Kintsugi. Remind yourself that you refuse to throw in the towel and stay broken. 

Kintsugi (金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as Kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"),is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
