Beauty Within The Imperfections

When things don't go your way, it's wabi-sabi. When you don't have the perfect day, the perfect meeting, the perfect presentation, or the perfect dinner meeting, it's wabi-sabi. In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi is a world view centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete." In my view, if we accept the cracks and appreciate the imperfection, we can then move towards improvement. If it's something that cannot be changed, accept it; it's wabi-sabi. Each crack or imperfection is a story, a memory, or a moment that can create your life narrative and provide the launchpad for growth. "Life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride."
