While scrolling through facebook, I stumbled upon the word “WABI SABI’, I had no idea what it meant, so I looked it up. In very simple terms, it meant finding beauty in imperfection--appreciating things the way they are. In that moment, I realized that I was expecting too much from myself--that I still felt broken because I was unable to do what I was formerly capable of. One of my philosophies has been that if you don’t have expectations, you will never be disappointed. I needed to apply that principle to myself. Finding this quote changed my mindset and allowed me to accept my limitations. This acceptance does not mean that I gave up trying to improve my health, it meant that even if I didn't find the cause for my pain and weakness, I was still me--strong and determined! |
