Mistakes Mean You Tried

Albert Einstein, try, new things, mistakes, trishakeehn.comGuess what? December 31 is just around the corner! That means the last quarter of this year is quickly approaching and I don’t think we should let 2015 get away without leaving one more lasting impression to close out the chapter.

Let’s take the next ten days to plan for the last 90. Write it down. Think of goals for your relationships, faith, health, career, etc.

I bet there’s something that makes the pen in your hand tremble as you think about the impossibility of it. Don’t hold back the boldness of your faith. Let that ink flow. If you try and it doesn’t work, you’re another step closer to getting it right.

The year is gonna end in a bang regardless of what we do. But the higher we climb, the closer we get, the more glorious those lights are. Yes, it’s gonna get louder. It will be dangerous. And it should instinctively spark the fear of God in our timid hearts! Oh, but the anticipation of it all is worth trying. And can you imagine the sound, the smell, the reflection of those colorful explosions sparkling in the eyes of one took a chance on the climb.

A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. Albert Einstein
