Mistakes are the portals of discovery.

-James Joyce

I spent last week in a country I love and enjoying the lovely weather of Ireland. And while I am a voracious reader, I am sad to say the works of James Joyce have always been an aspiration but never a completion on my “books read” list. I will have to change that at some point soon.

Despite not reading Joyce, I do like this quote. We learn a great deal from the mistakes we make in life. Perhaps a mistake helps us realize that a choice is not what we thought it would be or a mistake helps us to learn and try harder next time.

And I much prefer the concept #mistake to #fail.  Mistake seems so much friendlier don’t you think?

So, go make some mistakes and discover your best self.
