Cultivate a sense of humility from "summary" of Wabi Sabi by Beth Kempton
To embrace wabi sabi is to embrace imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness. It is about finding beauty in the imperfect, the transient, and the incomplete. One of the key principles of wabi sabi is cultivating a sense of humility. Humility is about recognizing that we are all flawed, that we are all imperfect, and that we are all constantly changing and evolving. When we cultivate a sense of humility, we are able to let go of our egos and our need for perfection. We are able to accept ourselves as we are, with all of our flaws and imperfections. We are able to see beauty in the natural world around us, in all of its imperfections and impermanence. Humility allows us to appreciate the simple things in life, the things that are often overlooked or taken for granted. It allows us to see the beauty in a cracked teacup, in a fading flower, in a weathered piece of wood. It reminds us that nothing lasts forever, that everything is constantly changing and evolving. By cultivating a sense of humility, we are able to live more in the present moment, appreciating the beauty that surrounds us and finding joy in the simple things. We are able to let go of our need for control and perfection, and instead embrace the imperfections and impermanence of life. In a world that is often focused on success, achievement, and perfection, cultivating a sense of humility can be a powerful antidote. It allows us to appreciate the beauty in imperfection, to find peace in the transient nature of life, and to embrace the incompleteness that is inherent in all things. Humility is a reminder that we are all connected, that we are all part of something greater than ourselves. It is a reminder that true beauty lies in the imperfect, the transient, and the incomplete.
