I love the idea that Arianna Huffington offers that failure is not the opposite of success but is in fact part of success. As we enter a new year, I am sure we are thinking about 2025 and all that transpired. I can say that I have had a few highlights, a few adventures, a few challenges and made several mistakes. The great part about the changing of the year, is that feeling of a clean slate, a new fresh start, even if only symbolically. And while I am tempted to focus only on the highlight reel, the mistakes and challenges deserve a little attention too. What did we learn? How did we change and grow? What do we know about ourselves now that we did not before? It’s all important for the next part of the journey. For the part of the new year where we start to have new opportunities, or chances to try something different or where we are forced to make hard choices and face icky things. It’s the culmination of all that we have done and been so far, that builds us up to face the next thing. Afterall, the new year also offers a chance to reflect on all that we have overcome and triumphed over so far. We are still here, we are still facing the future, we are still making a difference, and we are celebrating a new year. Sure we have made mistakes, had some flops, we know better now and we can do better in the next chapter, happy new year.
