There's no point in being complete on the outside when you're broken in the inside.
Interpretation
True completeness comes from within rather than outward appearances.
This quote emphasizes the importance of inner integrity and mental well-being over superficial perfection. It suggests that being whole and fulfilled on the inside is essential for genuine happiness and authenticity, even if one does not appear perfect on the outside.
In practice
In a motivational speech about self-acceptance, one might say, 'As Nick Vujicic wisely noted, there's no point in being complete on the outside when you're broken on the inside.'
I know for certain that God does not make mistakes, but he does make miracles. I am one. You are, too.

A complete man should need no auxiliaries to his personal presence.
As mankind grew obsessed with its hours, the sorrow of lost time became a permanent hole in the human heart. People fretted over missed chances, over inefficient days; they worried constantly about how long they would live, because counting lifeβs moments had led, inevitably, to counting them down. Soon, in every nation and in every language, time became the most precious commodity.
Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear.
Unless a capacity for thinking be accompanied by a capacity for action, a superior mind exists in torture.
The poisonous serpent of afflictions is sleeping in your mind; just as if a black viper were asleep in your room. You must use the hook of precepts to quickly remove it. When the sleeping snake is gone, then you can rest at ease.
If you don't like your world, question your thoughts about it.
