New Year's Meme
Typically, New Year's Resolutions are focused on something you plan to successfully attain.
However, in being a bit retrospective today (snow entropy being what it is) I realized that the things that have taught me the most in life were my glorious failures and not any of my successes. Or observation of other people's glorious failures.
Will you write a novel? Start a new business? Join the Peace Corp? Paint a Masterpiece (though you can't draw a straight line)? Run for Office? Submit the book in your sock drawer to a publisher (finally)? Will you reconnect with lost friends/family? Cure Cancer? Convince Congress to Play Nice? Solve World Hunger? Impose World Peace? Teach a child (or an adult for that matter) to read?
So riddle me this Internets, what will be your glorious failure this year? What star-level goal will you have, realistic or no, that if you strive for you might at least catch a cloud.
