STOP Chasing Perfection and Own Your Cracks! | John R. Miles

In this powerful episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles dives deep into the philosophy of wabi-sabi, encouraging us to embrace imperfection and find beauty in life's cracks. As we step into 2025, it's time to stop chasing the unattainable ideal of perfection and instead celebrate our messy, authentic selves. Discover how the challenges and imperfections of the past year can teach us valuable lessons, foster resilience, and create deeper connections with others. Join us as we explore practical strategies for setting meaningful, imperfect goals that reflect our true values. Let’s shift our focus from perfection to purpose and learn to appreciate the journey, flaws and all!
