Thank to Skillshare for sponsoring this video. The first 1000 people who click the link will get 2 free months of Skillshare Premium: skl.sh/ckspace I hope everyone can find blessing behind imperfection times like this.

The last time I was this early I thought I was watching a Matt D’Avella video

The cleaner air, lesser pollution and wildlife thriving makes me so happy about this pandemic

Brooo you got a sponsor! Things are moving that’s exciting congrats mate

When lockdown first started, I chose to go for my daily walk at night. It was absolutely amazing!! There was quite literally no sound. All the traffic, people, barking dogs and screaming children were gone!!! I could hear my own breathing as I walked, it was so quiet. I’ve never been able to experience such a thing and I was truly grateful for it :)

I just saw wabi sabi as an aesthetic. Didn’t think far enough to be part of life. Thank you

There's a saying that " it's not what happens to us, but how we react to it that matters" . Let's be positive in every aspect of our lives. Loved your videos so much. It's so calming.

You are such a special speaker, and you come from Singapore too. I lived there as a child from 70-73 and it was the most magical time of my life. When i expressed that many years later to my father before he died, he said that they felt the same, a magical magical place and time. :)

Man you're such an inspiration. You're making me realize I should put way more research into my own videos

Quite surprised that Skillshare finally sponsored you man! This genuinely put a smile on my face. I remember a time this channel had no sponsors. 🙌

I absolutely love your message here. Thank you!

Beautiful mindset! So glad I found your channel!

this is so golden

Thanks. One of your best!

love learning about wabi sabi-esque topics from you! and the clips were just perfect

So glad I found your chanel, you have made my day and have given me insight. Thank you!

Awesome Video❤ It was very helpful

Such a beautifully made video and love the message 💖

Hi, CKSpace. Thanks for inspiring us!

Beautiful video

Beautiful video with wonderful insights! Enjoyed learning these new concepts ^^

I find beauty in your imperfect mustache. Great content bro, as usual. Will checkout skillshare for sure.

Interesting content. Enjoyed this. Thanks

Well said; you have a prophetic mind

Thank you for your videos. I love your content.

Just what I needed.

Strongly agree with this train of thought. I also felt like there was a common thread between wabi-sabi and minimalism, but was surprised to hear you talk about it in your other videos. Would love some book recommendations on the topic!

Your videos are fantastic! Keep it up and you'll shoot to the top. Just stay different and cut above the rest of the crowd with your independent thinking and calm nature.

this video is amazing, thank you so much

This is the wisest advice I have seen or heard regarding the pandemic. Thank you so much. You will make it easier to endure.

Great message and very pretty nature photography. Thank you.

"We should acknowledge the beauty of life as a whole process and experience". Rightly said! Everytime I watch your videos, I get to learn something new and appreciate the things in my life. Can't wait for your upcoming videos. Keep growing. 😊

Great video, again. Thank you so much!

As a recovering anxious perfectionist this is very helpful! 🙏🏼 Thank you 😊

for it to be perfect for me it has got to be imperfect first

editing on point as always!

Thank you, really enjoyed your insights!

I am working thru all my stuff and this resonates with me. I have heard many Asians refer to Wasbi Sabi and i feel like now I can apply it into my life of decluttering. thanks for sharing

Thanks. This was a much needed video during this time.

I really appreciate your videos and vision

I've never heard of Wabi Sabi, but after watching your video, I really got interested. Thanks for that.

Another amazing video!

Aww, you're videos are so professional. Just love it! 👏

Love this! Thanks for the words of wisdom 😊 I love getting different perspectives on this time. It helps so much!

Thank you so much ! This video came right when I needed it, it helped me reach a bit of serenity. Many thanks !!

Hey Man, your channel has really helped me with my minimalist journey. Minimalism really got me into Japanese design and I study the language - my youtube channel is based on my language journey. Now I will discuss this topic with my language tutors this week! Your Channel is FIRE. Keep it up!

Tuesdays with CK - what I look forward to every week. Thanks for this great video again.

so delicate video, really nice!!

Great video!! ♥

I remember you had a few hundred subscribers doing fashion videos for rick but now you got 33k doing minimalism pretty crazy

Your footage is so beautiful and calming. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm trying to use some of the transitions for my own videos:)

i recently discovered your channel and find it very inspiring and interesting! ✨

Your videos are great my friend. The principles and philosophies you practice have really opened my eyes to a more meaningful and less anxious life. I appreciate you making your videos and sharing your insights. Wish you well

Amazing video

You got a sponsor!! So excited for you, that's so great! :) Congrats!♥

Thanks for sharing 🌻

Cheng, I've really come to appreciate how much you are in your element in your videos. Your message and production portray this so well. Thank you!! And congrats on the sponsorship!

I was thinking a while ago about buying kintsugi pottery as a reminder of the beauty in imperfection. I may do it now. Such a great video with such a deep meaning!

Wabi sabi. Got a life lesson there. Thanks man.

Congrats on the sponsorship man. Really glad to see your channel growing

Like every Tuesday, here I am 😅! Nice video! 👍🙌

Dear CKSPACE, getting more and more disappointed about more and more videos with minimalism content which actually try to sell me something but kind of "hidden selling" if you guys know what I mean, I found you. I was like: He's cool, funny, intelligent, he makes content of great value and aesthetics, BUT SOON he will try to sell me something, sure he will do, and, man, I was really anxious about it... Almost waited for the disappointment. But no!! You did not!! Thank you so much for being as you are and sharing your time with us! You have a sponsor now which is important as a RU-vidr I guess and I think you have a good one with educational content.... Please handle the pressure that comes with it - if it's a longer sponsorship - with care and look after yourself! Big digital hugs to you and your girlfriend and your country Singapur! Greets from Vienna, Austria! Caroline PS: If YOU would like to think about selling a (wabi sabi) T-shirt which you yourself created and designed, I would definitely buy it :-D (not only me I can promise) !!

The way of speaking very much satisfying...You are improving my life man...Thank you 🙂

tq for the great sharing

BIGGEST TAKE AWAY: "the grass cannot always be green" - there would be no summer if there were no winter... Makes sense.

I never comment but I thought during this hard time I should share some love. I love your videos and I listen to them while journaling, so thank you for uploading :)

Such a relief to see your video again. ❤️

Amazing

I appreciate you a lot.✌

Bro, please keep making these videos. I feel like my IQ went up 2 points.

Hi there! i love your videos c: do you think you could make a Q&A video soon? I have many questions i hope you and your gf are safe, take care!

I like what you shoot and describe and think you look quite nice with little beard..... please keep doing these vdo cause it quite inspire my heart.

Here in thailand, minimalist is not even poppular for people as we are develeping country so mostly people are hungers to better quality of life or social status. But what I find is that some buddhism teachings are really similar to or even the same if we really look into it. In buddhism we are taught that the materialistic things are not important and not permanent and what makes you really content is how you look at things or circumstances around you. Anyway Im happy to find your channel. One of amazing minimalist channels on youtube.

kintsugi was pretty good last week. very interesting even without the gold dust!

Thanks brother thank you So much

Hello. I find you very loveable. I enjoy your voice. Sending much love from the United States.

What font di you use for the texts like "rust", "imperfection",...? Thanks

I think the concept of wabi sabi could be extremely helpful to me. I struggle with being a chronic, obsessive-compulsive perfectionist. I have INSANELY, unreasonably high standards for EVERYTHING. And more than everything, for myself.

もののあわれ/物-の-哀れ ~(1) mono(things.matter)(2) aware(compassion, pathos, grief,pity). mononoaware^ sense of compassion towards things ; appreciation of～ the fleeting nature of beauty～, pathos of things; also used in describing "strong aesthetic sense" in some particular subject matter. I love the representation of the Sakura Flower. The Japanese has even come-up creating a dedicated festival to CELEBRATE the PASSING BEAUTY of the phenomena~ Rooted from their sense of GRATITUDE and APPRECIATION under complete consciousness that its aggregated qualities exalting pleasure to their mind and spirit is TRANSITORY~ therefore evoking a compassionate or sympathetic sense of pity as an element of the Experience. Another good example may be is their FIREWORK FESTIVAL. i love the honest post gesture ` i really have no idea by just reading them" 笑う

i love you

Wonderful!

My car got busted out in the back and the body shop repainted it but I can notice it’s not perfect like it was. The color is off. Should I embrace this? It bothers me…

he`s got a charming English accent

Wonderful video. Thank you. /\

Please, can someone help me. I'm a Japanese language learner, and I'm searching for a correct way to write sabi (in kanji), but I can't find it on google. I found how to write wabi (侘), but I can't find how sabi (寂) is written. What strokes am I supposed to do first? I can assume the order of strokes, but I really, really want it to be correctly written. Please, if someone knows, help!

Bro please make next video on your room or apartment

This is really soothing. Especially with CB going on. It’s really good to see and appreciate life for what it is and also to improve upon these “cracks”.

Is Beth Kemptons Wabi Sabi a good read?

The less you identify with the experience the more you appreciate it and you start to recognize its inner quality.

Suggested? I thought you guys are ordered to stay indoors?

The video could have been a bit imperfect!
