There is a saying that bad things happen in threes – three strikes and you are out.
Rejections, therefore, need to come in threes.
The fourth is merely a new group of three.
And so on, until an acceptance arrives.
To bounce back continually requires total commitment to the belief that one’s cup is half full.
That good things happen to good people. Come to people who wait.
There are no end of morale boosting sayings to help bolster one’s mood.
My writing group asked me how do I handle rejections.
My Point of Prue is to take each rejection as a challenge, to do it better next time, to learn from it.
Be it a story, an articel, a job, a partner, an idea, my principle is the same; smile and the world will smile with me.
Eventually!

ReplyDeleteNot at all easy, but essential. I feel "eventually" nearing with every "smile".
