I saw this over on LinkedIn, and unlike the normally re-shared chaff one sees there, I thought this was actually quite cool. So, re-typing here for future reference. I take no credit for any of the below (or the click-baity title!).

• Determine the reason you wake up each morning.

• This is what gives life meaning.

Shikita ga nai

• Let go of what you cannot change.
• Recognize that there are some things that are just out of our control, and that's okay.
• Let go and focus on what you can change.

Wabi-sabi

• Find peace in imperfection.

Oubaitori

Shu-Ha-Ri

• "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. When the student is truly ready the teacher will disappear." - Tao Te Ching
• It is a way of thinking about how to learn and master a technique. There are three stages to acquiring knowledge:
  
  • Shu: Learn the basics by following the teaching of one master. Imitating the work of great masters also falls in this stage.
  • Ha: Start experimenting, learn from masters, and integrate the learning into practice.
  • Ri: This stage focuses on innovation and the ability to apply your learning to a variety of situations.
