Who are you?
You, with all your strengths and weaknesses, your quirks and foibles, your perfect imperfections are like Kintsugi
Translated as “golden joinery, it is the ancient Japanese technique of repairing broken pottery.
Dating back to the 15th century, and represents the spirit of the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi - seeing the beauty in the “flawed” or “imperfect”.
You may wonder how could something be flawed yet be considered beautiful?
What is perfect (perfection)?
What is beauty?
Perfection - a concept - so does not exist in nature, in reality, naturally. Perfection is an unattainable ideal.
Whereas Beauty, is everywhere - where you are, who you are, what you are, in spite of it all.
Hopefully this episode fully convinces you of the fact that you are beautiful.
Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.
