Rejection Stings
But you just move on
Happy Wednesday, friends. Later today, I’m going to post about the January 6th hearing that happened yesterday. Very powerful.
In the meantime, I wanted to share a cartoon from recent submissions to The New Yorker. I say “submissions” because I sent this cartoon to the editor maybe three times, I am so pleased with it. But no luck.
You just never know. Even after 42 years at this, rejection still stings!
More later…
As one of my mentors told me when I was just starting out, “Skin like a rhino, kid! Just let those things bounce off.”
I too love the cartoon. Go figure.....But yes, rejection is part of the game and you need to be able to handle it if you want to play.
