00:00I started stressing myself over every small thing.
00:03I was like, I have to be good. I have to be perfect.
00:06How many of us are definitely imperfect?
00:11I am for one.
00:13We know what imperfection looks like, right?
00:16The face in the mirror, that's imperfect.
00:20How did you feel when you were not able to live up to what you really can do
00:27during your dance rehearsals or studies or sports or anything?
00:32Does it feel good to not be able to match your potential?
00:39No.
00:41There is perfection somewhere.
00:43When I'll be perfect, I'll be like that.
00:45So should I chase this imaginary ideal called perfection?
00:50Or should I just look at my current state?
00:54We are not okay as we are.
00:57And in this lies the inspiration to get better, to move on.
01:06So the reference point is your current condition.
01:11Not that far off ideal.
01:13Wow.
01:13That's right.
01:16I don't wanna try to move on.
01:18Oh yeah.
01:18This is the mastery point.
01:21And when I get better.
01:22You look at me here because we have the winning point.
01:23I don't know where you're supposed to be.
01:24But in that spot, I don't like me then.
01:25I think so.
01:26You look at the body.
01:26What's cool?
01:27You look at that hope.
01:28I don't know where you are.
01:29How many days are you happening?
01:31You look at the flame.
01:31I feel right at home.
01:32I don't know where you are home.
01:34It's not a great idea.
01:35But in this damn good.
01:37You see, how much is easy enough.
01:39We have really lots of fun.
01:40Like I hold into this.
