Let go of the need for perfection from "summary" of Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism by Fumio Sasaki
The idea of perfection can be a heavy burden to bear. We often strive for perfection in all areas of our lives, whether it be our work, relationships, or possessions. But this pursuit of perfection can lead to stress, anxiety, and dissatisfaction. When we let go of the need for perfection, we free ourselves from these negative emotions. We can instead focus on what truly matters to us and let go of the things that do not bring us joy or fulfillment. By embracing imperfection, we can find beauty in the flaws and appreciate the uniqueness of each moment. Minimalism teaches us to simplify our lives and let go of the unnecessary. When we release the need for perfection, we can declutter our physical space as well as our mental space. We can let go of the pressure to have the perfect home, the perfect job, or the perfect life, and instead embrace the beauty of simplicity. By letting go of the need for perfection, we can also cultivate a sense of gratitude for what we do have. We can appreciate the small joys in life and find contentment in the present moment. When we stop chasing perfection, we can finally allow ourselves to be truly happy and at peace. So, let go of the need for perfection and embrace the imperfect beauty of life. Find joy in simplicity, gratitude in imperfection, and peace in the present moment. By doing so, you may find that true happiness lies not in perfection, but in the beauty of the imperfect.
