Embrace imperfection and change from "summary" of Ikigai and Other Japanese Words to Live by by Mari Fujimoto
Embracing imperfection and change is a fundamental principle that underscores the essence of living a fulfilling life. In a world where perfection is often idolized and change is feared, it is important to recognize the beauty in imperfection and the inevitability of change. Imperfection is a natural part of the human experience, and instead of striving for unattainable perfection, we should learn to accept and even celebrate our flaws and mistakes. By embracing imperfection, we can free ourselves from the pressures of unrealistic expectations and cultivate self-compassion and self-acceptance. Change is another inevitable aspect of life that we must learn to embrace. The only constant in life is change, and resisting it only leads to frustration and suffering. Instead of fearing change, we should see it as an opportunity for growth and transformation. Change can be challenging and uncomfortable, but it also opens the door to new possibilities and experiences. By accepting change as a natural part of life, we can adapt more easily to new circumstances and navigate the ups and downs of life with resilience and grace. Embracing imperfection and change requires a shift in mindset and a willingness to let go of control. It involves releasing the need for things to be perfect and learning to go with the flow of life. This mindset shift can be empowering and liberating, allowing us to live more authentically and in alignment with our values and purpose. When we embrace imperfection and change, we can approach life with a sense of curiosity and openness, ready to learn and grow from every experience.- Embracing imperfection and change is about embracing the full spectrum of the human experience – the highs and the lows, the successes and the failures, the joys and the sorrows. It is about embracing the ebb and flow of life, knowing that imperfection and change are what make life rich and meaningful. By embracing imperfection and change, we can live more fully, love more deeply, and experience the magic of being truly alive.
