More imperfect insights

Well, today has been a good reminder of the ubiquity of wabisabi in the real world. Today has been a pretty good day, but none of the goals that I hoped to achieve were completely achieved. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful day, quite sunny and warm, which made for a very pleasant contrast to last night’s storm.

One thing I did get some successful work done on is simply relaxing. Trying to start a business, or any type of project, really, tends to not lend itself to relaxation. I am often prone to overthinking and overworking, and while that has frequently gotten some pretty good results in the past, it has also had some pretty unfortunate consequences on a regular basis. But once today’s events made it clear that I was not going to be able to achieve all of my goals, instead of stressing out about it and figuring out how to stay up long enough to get everything completely done, I just took a break and enjoyed the day. Unless I die in my sleep, tomorrow will exist. And, if I die in my sleep, I won’t mind not achieving all of my goals for today. They were all worthwhile goals, but none of them were critical to my life or my perception of myself, so they can wait a day.

I hope, dear reader, that if your day also had its imperfections, that you were able to relax as well.
