Andrea C. Wasko, MBA Business Strategist Sharing Tiny Buddha quote

The Pottery Lesson

Maya had been making pottery for years. Every piece she created was carefully measured, smoothed, and polished. Yet, no matter how hard she tried, she could never quite reach the vision in her mind. Each vase, bowl, or mug seemed… imperfect.

One rainy afternoon, frustrated and exhausted, she took a deep breath and set aside the clay she had been struggling with. She picked up a small lump of clay and, without overthinking, shaped it into a simple cup. It wasn’t symmetrical, the rim was uneven, and tiny cracks ran along the side—but it felt alive. It felt real.

Her teacher, watching quietly, smiled. “Sometimes, Maya, good enough is more than enough. Life doesn’t ask for perfect. It asks for presence.”

Maya sipped tea from that imperfect cup that evening. And for the first time in years, she felt a quiet joy. She realized that striving for perfection had only kept her from enjoying the process. The cup, flawed and humble, was perfect in its imperfection.

From that day on, she made more cups, bowls, and vases—sometimes imperfect, sometimes messy, but always full of life. And she discovered that “good enough” was not a limitation; it was freedom.
