Wabi-Sabi

 Wabi-Sabi, a Japanese concept, highlights the beauty found in the fleeting, changeable and the imperfect nature of our surroundings.

This concept insists on searching for beauty in things that are flawed and incomplete and not perfect.

Wabi-Sabi extends to the idea of Kintsugi, which is a Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold.

The Imperfection is what makes it more perfect and adds to it value. 

"Only things that are imperfect, incomplete and ephemeral can truly be beautiful, because only those things resemble the natural world."

                                                             - Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life 

                                                      

Imperfections paves way for development, be it of any kind.

There is nothing to change without being at fault.

One gets stuck in the same state if they become to think that everything about them is perfect.

There's always room for Growth but only if one is brave enough to embrace their imperfections and not try to hide it away.

He does not want a Perfectionist.

The time has come to revive the undead... Well, HELLO! There is a high chance that nobody remembers this blog (even I have forgotten, lol). I have been wanting to start blogging again for quite some time now- like the hundred other things I have been  wanting  to do. However, something I came across - which I will share in later blogs - gave me the prompt to put my thoughts into action.  In a time of reflection this morning, I was pondering what went wrong along the way. I used to be able to do things. I used to get work done, but now all I do is cut a sorry figure for myself and self-loathing. One thing that I was able to bring to my attention is that if I do something, I try to do it properly or not do it at all. What seemed like a good habit initially became the very thing that started pulling me down. At first, it made me more conscious of what happens if the things that I drive do not reach a good place. Then Procrastination joined the ride, along with Self-doubt, wh...

Consistency is Key!

If there is anything that will take you places that you wanna reach in life, it's nothing but consistency. Expecting overnight results is making a fool of oneself. Continuous effort is what yields the fruit of labour. If you act like a monkey for ten years, you will be a damn good monkey by the end of it(not asking you'll to act like a monkey lol) .   It is the same with anything in life. If you wanna be a guitarist, play the guitar every day. Even if it is for just a few minutes, do it regularly. As days pass you will see a progressive change in your music than when you started playing it.   If you wanna be a writer, write every day. Be it a page or a phrase, do it without a break every day. As days pass you will have started thinking more than you did when you initially began and you will see a visible change in your style of writing. If you wanna build your muscles, exercise regularly. The muscles are not gonna pop in a day. It requires continuous work. If you wanna lose/ g...

... meant and not said, most love is lost.

"You gotta talk it out" "Communication is key" I know blah.. blah Those are things that are easier said than done. But since people keep saying it, shouldn't there be some truth to it though? According to a recent study, 67.5% divorces primarily occur due to poor communication. What's the point of being in love with someone if you don't tell them? People are not mind readers. They need to hear it. Humans need reassurance. "Between what is said and not meant, and meant but not said, most love is lost"                                                                                                                   - Khalil Gibran   Showing your lov...
