New Year's Day. A fresh start to the next year and the first day of the
rest of my life. It’s the best day because it is today and I am alive and well.
As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it: Write it on your heart that
every day is the best day in the year. Take
a moment. Be grateful for another year lived a day at a time. What is your
dream for this year? Start on it today. Dreams are what give birth to progress
. . . I have some dreams for this year and I know I’ll make mistakes. In the
words of Neil Gaiman: “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.” Embrace mistakes—they’re a signal that
you’re human. The only people who make no mistakes are those that have died!
Avoid embarrassment about mistakes. Embarrassment is a choice, so stop choosing
it. I know I’ll make mistakes this year, learn from them (hopefully) and get busy
making more. Have a happy day and a wonderful year!
