View rejection as a stepping stone to success from "summary" of Zen in the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury
Rejection is a part of every writer's journey. It is inevitable. It is the bitter pill that we must swallow in order to reach success. Rather than seeing rejection as a roadblock, we should view it as a stepping stone. A necessary step towards achieving our goals. When we receive a rejection letter, it is easy to feel defeated. To question our abilities and doubt ourselves. But we must remember that rejection is not a reflection of our worth as writers. It is simply a part of the process. A way for us to learn and grow. Each rejection is an opportunity for us to improve. To reevaluate our work and make it stronger. To push ourselves to be better. It is a chance for us to prove our resilience and determination. To show that we will not be deterred by setbacks. Rejection can be discouraging, but it can also be motivating. It can light a fire within us, spurring us on to work harder and reach higher. It can teach us perseverance and patience. It can show us that success is not handed to us on a silver platter, but earned through hard work and dedication. So, the next time you receive a rejection letter, do not despair. Embrace it. Learn from it. Let it fuel your determination to succeed. Remember that every rejection brings you one step closer to your goals. It is not a roadblock, but a stepping stone on your path to success.
