Closing your eyes, if it's a scary scene in a horror movie.
Keep your distance, if it's a feared animal.
Or...
Trying to always have achievements in order to avoid feeling like a failure. Saying yes to everyone so you don't get rejected and avoid conflict?
Without realizing it, we do a lot of things in our daily lives to avoid being afraid of things that don't go our way - imperfect. Meanwhile, life is full of imperfections. Imagine going through life trying to fight it all.
Continuing his first book, "The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down", Haemin Sunim invites us to see imperfection from a different perspective. Not by changing, but by learning to see and love them as they are. You may be surprised to find that what it takes to do that have all been with you all this time.
This book is also equipped with various illustrations that add to the reflective sense of Haemin Sunim's writing, which seems to invite us to pause to tell stories about ourselves that have been neglected.
