The meaning that breathes life into this philosophy is the unpretentious simplicity (Wabi) and getting closer to the ancient, the harmony of the solitary (Sabi). Wabi-Sabi is focused on three simple realities:  nothing lasts forever, nothing is ever finished and nothing is perfect. Everything that exists in the Universe is constantly moving and changing. Wabi-Sabi is naturalness, it depicts things as they are – in their natural and most authentic condition. The Japanese philosophy encourages us to concentrate on the hidden blessings that we find in our everyday life and to celebrate things as they are – not the way they are supposed to be. Wabi-Sabi prizes authenticity.

Embracing Wabi-Sabi is as easy (or as difficult) as understanding and accepting oneself – your imperfections and everything else. It’s all about being compassionate towards yourself, just the way you are as well as building whatever there is – not fiercely trying to rebuild yourself in order to present yourself as something else completely. Wabi-Sabi gives us the freedom to be ourselves and embrace the perfection of not being perfectly ourselves. Wabi-Sabi is everywhere – we just have to know how to look and what to do to become aware of the concept in our lives. This is a story of love and inspiration, that stumbles upon us the very moment we expect it the least – to be fulfilled with joy, gratitude and love for everything we do and everything that surrounds us. Wabi-Sabi means to live in peace and harmony with the imperfections and the inconsistency, to accept yourself as a perfectly imperfect person – unique and simultaneously, as one of the others.
