Ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy) is a wonderful Japanese concept that essentially means “a reason for being.” It’s made from two Japanese words: iki, meaning “life” and kai, meaning “effect, result, worth or benefit.” Combined: “a reason for living.”
Isn’t that rather beautiful?

Flossing One Tooth
Much too often, perfect becomes the enemy of good. Perfection becomes more important than making progress in the first place. There have been so many times I’ve given up on something because I wasn’t able to do it as often, as devotedly, in the same capacity that I’d originally planned to.

Heart-Wrenching Response
Grief— the heavy lump in your throat that is difficult to swallow, the stinging in your eyes that threaten to burst out tears, the empty and painful feeling in your chest that simply rests there. It is the heart-wrenching response to emotional trauma.
