When striving for perfection do we miss out on living?

The perfect:- Life, job, partner, friend, boss, family, body, home, Christmas


(quote below from Wabi Sabi* - the art of everyday life by Diane Durston).

"People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it." Edith Schaeffer


*Wabi Sabi is a Japanese approach that appreciates what is imperfect, incomplete or impermanent in nature and in human artifacts.*


Try today to see what is in your life that is imperfect but to which you could bring a sense of appreciation nonetheless?


See if it can bring a sense of calmness, a sense of peace to accept what is
