“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.
So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.
Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.
Make your mistakes, next year and forever.”
― Neil Gaiman

ReplyDeleteSome things we perceive as mistakes, may not seem like mistakes to others and vice versa.
ReplyDeleteMistakes lead to better things many times. Who the hell knows. Every day's a new day.
That 100 years song resonates with me being in my 60th year! Happy, healthy, wealthy, and wise 2016 to all. Love, your Momma
Very well said! Happy New Year!
