We toil each and every day, striving to do good, and to leave our mark on the world. Some of our efforts succeed, and some do not.
But as the great Irish playwright, George Bernard Shaw once observed “a life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”
Often times our most important lessons come from trying and failing. But nothing is gained, or learned, by not trying at all.
May the Holy One bless us with the courage to be willing to make mistakes while in the pursuit of doing what is right and good. May we never stop striving to live an honorable life filled with great ideas and daring action. And may we always learn from all of our experiences.
May this be God’s will. -- AMEN.
