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.

A very positive spin on “failing”. Everyone should take this to heart. Don’t be afraid to fail/mess up/make mistakes. You’re still learning, and therefor, making progress.
“how it is supposed to be” is usually only something people have told you. Don’t live confined by others’ expectations and ideals.

This has both a positive and negative effect on creativity and output. A never ending battle.
Happiness is not ruined by great catastrophes or fatal errors, but by the repetition of slowly destructive little things.

In this situation it is often hard to remember that sometimes a mistake or failure can be a positive thing. Read this and try to keep it on your mind when those “destructive little things” attack.
