“Mistakes are beautiful, baby.”
The begining of a new year is always a time of reflection for me, and I feel like I have a lot to reflect on this year. Lately I’ve had this intense feeling of discomfort in my own skin. Its not a great place to be.
The quote above was from a movie I watched over the weekend, Evening. I highly recommend it. Good story and amazing cast. Thought provoking, clearly.
When I look back at my life I realize that what I used to consider my biggest mistakes now either blend seamlessly with the rest of my life or spark glaringly as the impetus for some of my most treasured moments. How is it that this just occured to me?
Somewhere along the way I learned to fear mistakes too much, seek safty too much, and live with my head in the past. I forgot one of my cardinal rules of investing, being too conservative has its own risks. I’m not sure the way I’m living outpaces inflation.
I wonder if ever anyone has made a New Year’s resolution to make more mistakes. At least that’s living, baby.
