“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 2021 everybody! Here’s to some fantastic mistakes!

Here’s to all the mistakes we will surely make in life! Once we stop planning and moving and taking chances, we begin to rust. And when that happens, it’s too late. He who loses money loses much. He who loses a friend loses much more. He who loses faith loses all. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift and that is why they call it a present. Keep looking to the future! Happy New Year and blessings to all! π π

I think mistakes are the best way to grow and learn more about life and yourself. Yes, it sucks when you make a mistake but it’s also a lesson that you will remember in the future!

100% agree! If you do nothing, you don’t make mistakes – but is it something that anybody would want? new experiences can shape us, for better or worse!
