Quote of the day

"The greatness comes not when things go always good for you. But the greatness comes when you're really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes. Because only if you've been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain." --Richard Milhouse Nixon
I'm really trying to keep this in mind as I deal with rejections this week. How about you? How's your week going?

  1. This quote is so my life and I must say I feel powerfully enhanced with the knowledge and appreciation I have when I look at the battle scars of life.

  2. I am sorry that you have had a rough week, dealing with rejections is something we would like to skip, right? But I also know that we learn from it! It keeps me going, really... I can not let rejection bring me down. I must stand up for my idea, my product or my work. If I don't believe in it, then no one will!!!
    Next week will be better!!

  4. Lanita, I so know what you mean about battle scars. And Marja and Nichole, you're right. We learn and move on because nothing will stop us from pursuing our dreams. I hope that each of you have a fantastic weekend. Blessings....

  5. Rejections are so hard. It has got to be the hardest part of writing. Sorry you're having a hard week that week. Though it sounds like you're staying positive, like you always do. That can be a struggle too.
