It Gets Easier

We often talk,
here on clientk,
about how bouncing back from failure
is a key success factor
for entrepreneurs and other innovators.

If you’re working your way
through your first failure,
take heart.
It may never be easy
but it gets easier.

I received a rejection on a story
yesterday.
I moped around the office
for the day,
keeping to myself,
but by the evening,
I had thought of a half dozen publishers
I could send the story to.

A year ago,
I would have moped around for a week
and not have any action plan
for my rejected story.

Did the rejection still hurt?
Yes.
That’s a good thing.
If failure was as enjoyable
as success,
no one would strive for success.

You will survive this failure.
Don’t give up the dream.
