Be Okay

Be okay with imperfection.
Be okay with broken-ness.
Be okay with things that can’t be fixed.
Be okay with open-endedness.
Be okay with the mess.
Be okay with chaos.

There is this idea of Perfection.
That we must attain to avoid feeling bad.
Our future must be perfect.
And our past is never perfect.
It is filled with memories of a hundred thousand imperfections.

In trying to fix the future, the mind is like a juggler with too many sharp knives in the air.
In trying to fix the past, the mind is like a dog chasing its tail.

Be okay with things as they are.
Let go.
And relax.
