Ain't nothing to it, but to do it!

New Year's Resolutions. It's that time again. I'm a simple man so I will make these clear, concise and achievable.
  1. Run/Exercise every day.
  2. Practice Art.
  3. Drink H2O.
  4. Read more fiction.
  5. Be Mindful
  6. Make many new mistakes.
"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, for 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, 2008
