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. – Neil Gaiman

This quote captures an important idea for us as we start 2017.

We are all so blessed that it is easy to let the years go by without challenging ourselves.

We get comfortable and choose not to risk our comfort as we go about our lives.

But our potential lies on the outside of our comfort zone.

Regardless of how high or low you set the bar as you thought about 2017, make sure it requires you to make a few mistakes. You need to fall down and fail at least once.

I wish the best of luck with making mistakes in 2017.

Make it a great day.

Jake
