“I hope that you make mistakes….
Yes, make a mistake. Make lots of them. You should be making new mistakes constantly.
Because if you are making these kind of mistakes, then that means that you are doing 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. It means you’re going for it. You’re on your way.
So there you have it; my wish for you, for myself and for all of us is that we all make mistake as we dare to embark on new ventures.
New mistakes.
Glorious, amazing mistakes.
Mistakes nobody’s ever made before.
Mistakes never before imagined.
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 or terrified of doing, just do it and quit worrying about gaffes or blunders.
Mistakes are simply the opportunity that allows you to course-correct. You learn from the mistakes and try again and again until you get it right. You learn what works and what doesn’t. You fine-tune your tactics and you refine your course.
You need mistakes in order to hone in on the right path.
You can’t avoid them. You shouldn’t avoid them.
The only way to avoid making mistakes is to avoid action itself. To attempt nothing.
But then, that’s the biggest mistake of ‘em all.”
