(#73) Reconciling Acceptance with Growth

“‘Each of you is perfect the way you are,’ Zen master Suzuki Roshi told his students, adding, ‘and you can use a little improvement’—neatly reconciling acceptance with growth.”

- Daniel Goleman & Richard Davidson, Altered Traits

 

That’s an ideal way to reconcile acceptance with growth.  And a perfect philosophy for why we do these 1%’s every day. 

 

We are perfect how we are.  But we could use a little improvement : )
