Beginnings
01/01/2014
“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
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Perfect message! Happy New Year!

That's a great way to view making mistakes. If we aren't making mistakes then we aren't trying new things!

Great minds...! I also thought Neil's words were blog-worthy and what I needed to focus on this year. Here's to a year full of interesting mistakes!

We know we'll make mistakes so we may as well love them, enjoy them and know we're learning from them. Good sentiment, Kym.
