Wabi Sabi- Day 14




 As much as we strive for perfection, we aren’t actually supposed to be without imperfections. 


“What if we were to agree that our ideal state is actually perfect imperfection…” The Japanese have a practice called kintsugi, where they embellish the cracks found in pottery with gold. The result is an even more beautiful creation. 


Rather than throwing  something away because of its flaws they make it even more valuable. How much time do we waste worrying about an imperfection in our physical appearance? There is nothing wrong with wanting to look your best, but worrying about things you have no real control over is a waste of time. 


Whatever your “natural most authentic state” is how you should approach the world. This version of you allows for your inner beauty to shine. This is the state that you should aspire for.
