... and accepting peacefully the natural cycle of growth and decay.

wabi sabi: a relatively untranslatable Japanese word which means: A way of living that focuses on finding the beauty within the imperfections of life, and accepting the natural cycle of growth and decay

We live in a world where focusing on the negative isn't necessary, because it is thrown in our faces every minute of every day. You can't turn on the TV without being reminded that the economy is bad, the nation is at war, and unemployment is up. Days get longer, time runs faster, and sometimes, it even seems that the 24 hours in one day are no where near sufficient. Stress comes easy, flowing in negative energy comes easy, staying positive takes work.

Wabi-Sabi is a lifestyle choice; you either choose to be positive or choose to be negative. You decide everyday whether or not you will search for the good in every circumstance or situation, or allow yourself to sulk and dwell in the valley of negativity. This does not mean you have to try and place some deep meaning on everything that happens to you in life. I truly believe that sometimes, things just happen. But you can decided how can you use the event to shape and mold your life.

Life will always be hard, there will always be challenges, and those challenges will always be temporary.

Everything changes, anything tangible has the ability to change. That even includes your attitudes and perspectives. It is never to late to elevate your mind and alter your perspective. We are all walking histories, and every day is a chance to decided how your history ends.

Live Positive.
