How often do you tense as you strive for a goal – – –
In the culture of my Japanese ancestors, an artist often deliberately flaws a piece so that we may appreciate perfection through inherent. imperfection.
When we tense as we effort, we are wanting to be perfect, to protect ourselves from failing, to succeed more than anything else. We forget the wonder of being able to effort, whether we are perfect or not.
How do you bring your full self to everything you do, if you are sometimes asked not to?
