To quote Samuel Beckett again:
Ever tried. Every failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
Another way to look at it is John C. Maxwell's lesson on "mistakes." Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation and improvement. But every time you win or lose — especially when you lose— you will have the opportunity to ask yourself, “What did I learn?” If you ask that question and discover the answer to that question, then you will go far in 2017 and always. And you will enjoy the journey.
Perhaps English author Neil Gaiman puts it best:
“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.”
So, my wish for us in 2017 is to ever try new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing the world. Fail? Don’t freeze, don’t stop. Ask, “What have I learned?” Don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or isn’t perfect. Whatever you’re scared of doing, Do it!
Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.
Happy Glorious Mistake-ridden New Year.
