Highlights
In the beginning, all rejections hurt. But then you realize it’s a numbers game and you start to put wins on the board and you feel more vindicated and then you wonder whether you’ll ever be rejected again and then you get rejected again and then you realize that you’ve built something inside of you called resilience and if you’re not getting rejected are you really pushing hard enough and it is then you realize you need to be rejected and it becomes a barometer for ambition and a fuel. 🤷🏼♂️
Trying to make a difference 🙏
