侘寂Wabi-sabi侘寂

Have you thought about your goals for the year?
You don't have to get it perfect, you just have to get started.

Wabi-sabi
 (侘寂?) represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience. The phrase comes from the two words wabi and sabi. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete"
