January 1, 2014, TGIW: Unhumping Hump Day New Year Wish

Jan 01

“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

I’m up in the woods of Santa Cruz bringing in the new year in a personal development retreat. I’m getting outside of my comfort zone and expanding my concepts and understanding so as to allow more of the good things I desire into my life.

I wish the same for you this year: all the good, all the changes, all the newness, all the dreams you can embrace.

Happy Bold New Year!

Got courage?

“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” –E.E. Cummings
