Life is too short to spend your time avoiding failure. ― Michael Bloomberg
Last year I played it way too safe. How about you?
In this New Year, let’s not be afraid to dive into the deep end and learn as we go!! This adventure is so much more fun when others are there to support and dive in with you too! 😉
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
Ultimately, we are 100% responsible for our successes and failures in life.
Have you ever caught yourself saying these dangerous words: “SOMEDAY I will…”
It’s oh-so-easy to delay what we most need to do with this very common excuse. When applying this “someday” syndrome to our dreams, we are setting ourselves up to experience regret later because opportunity is not patient and hates being stood up.
PASSIONATE ACTION:
Make time right now to take one specific step towards the achievement of your dreams. Not tomorrow, not later, not in a minute, but now. Yes, right NOW. If your happiness is important to you, then Do It Now!
Do you ever feel like there is a creative energy inside of you that has been waiting patiently and is now begging for you to bring it to life? That’s exactly how I’ve been feeling.
Lately, I’ve been in the process of finding my focus. There are infinite possibilities and we need to find ways to optimize how we invest and prioritize our precious time.
For me, I’ve stepped away from social media to reset and prepare myself to really be effective with my actions. I truly believe establishing a writing habit will have a profound impact on thoughts and behaviors.
Please be patient as I find my focus and develop my plan to become a master producer. I need to stop thinking about writing. And just write.
