Rejection is easy to handle in comparison to self-inflicted fuck-ups. I still think about some of the big mistakes I made years ago, while I am hard pressed to remember the rejections I got yesterday.

Every rejection is finding one way that doesn't work. Get enough and you will end up succeeding through a process of elimination.
