Rejection isn’t a good feeling. It sucks big time. And you take it in and sit on it for a bit but you don’t let define you nor your trajectory.
I messed up royally last year on a project. It cost me a client. I cried like a baby. And after some time had passed, and a few stern conversations with my elders and colleagues; I’m still standing, I’m still strong! (Queue Antoine Fisher)
The best lessons come from a heartache. I don’t know why that is, I prefer the Hallmark version of life (I’m a Pisces🤷‍♀️) but we don’t all get what we want.
Fail forward, fail a few times, fail a lot. You tried, you meant well and surprise, you’re still here!
