Wabi-sabi is not minimalism.

Minimalism is about control. You decide what stays. You curate. The emptiness is designed.

Wabi-sabi is about acceptance. The worn stone is not worn because someone decided to wear it. It is worn because people walked on it for a hundred years and the stone yielded.

The beauty is not designed. It is received.

That is a different relationship with the world entirely.

PSYCHOLOGY SAYS:

The less you care, the happier you will be.

Who gossips to you, will gossip about you.

Remember this.

When you focus on problems, you will have more problems, When you focus on solutions, you will see more opportunities.

Don't take everything personally. Not everyone thinks about you, as much as yourself does.

Lack of communication can kill a great relationship.
