Facing rejection is like lifting weights.
After the first time, you hurt like hell for days.
After all, you're not conditioned to handle this sort of stress.
But the next time, the after-pain hurts less.
15–20 times later, you feel almost no pain.
And by that point…
Even when you do feel it, in a weird way, you kind of appreciate it.
Because it's a reminder that you're growing.
