Live good. Be happy. Make mistakes in 2013.

Managing Real Estate Broker with eXp Realty

“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

Live good. Be happy. Make mistakes.

Your title caught my eye.  Make mistakes.  Sure it happens but I have never had someone put what it means so simply.  Thank you.  Happy New Year.

I really, really love this message for the new year! It can be hard not to want to play it safe - but that tends to be such a limiting trap.

Mimi,

This is so true. I need to make mistakes. Just maybe not repeating them may help
