Embracing change

Leonard Cohen said in his song: 

"There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in "

We are so caught in our effort to be perfect, that a crack is considered as something wrong.

In his song Leonard Cohen is adopting a new way of looking at cracks .Looking at cracks as a way to help as finding the light.. 

There is nothing wrong about not being perfect. In fact, we are all imperfect. And that is absolutely fine!

In our quest for perfection, cracks are often seen as flaws — something to be fixed, hidden, or avoided. But Cohen challenges this conventional mindset by suggesting that it’s through those very cracks that light finds its way in.

Changing our perspective and way of processing things can also help us see and notice things that we didn't notice before.

It might even be very beneficial to change the way we look at things. it might even help us in finding new insights and solutions. When we stop striving for perfection, we open ourselves to finding creative solutions in places we wouldn’t have thought to look before. Imperfections often lead to new perspectives, prompting us to approach problems from different angles. 

Leonard Cohen’s words resonate as a gentle reminder that imperfection is not something to be ashamed of, but something to embrace. The cracks in our lives — those moments of vulnerability, mistakes, and flaws — are not failures. They are the spaces where growth happens, where new light enters, and where deeper insights emerge.

So next time you encounter a crack in your life, don’t rush to hide it or fix it. Instead, pause and notice what new light it might be letting in. Embrace your imperfections, because they may just be the key to finding something even more beautiful and meaningful.
