Life is filled with rejection. … okay, that’s quite possibly the most depressing line I’ve ever opened a blog post with, but, it’s true. Rejection is everywhere, from not getting chosen first in gym class as a kid, to not getting a callback for that dream job you were hoping to land, and it can […]
