Advice Papa Gave Me: Rejections And Failures Are Part Of Life’s Game

My beloved daughter,

Rejections and failures are all parts of the game of life.

To play this game, you should always be on your guard, looking beyond rejection and past failures. By doing this, you refuse to be trodden by pessimism or demotivated, instead, you take each experience as a lesson and positively look towards the future.

You should get into the mindset that your experiences are for your education and growth. The only time you should look to the past is to learn lessons and chart new courses that lead to eventual successes.    You should not underestimate your innate strengths and capabilities to overcome and prevail no matter what.

Nothing stays the same. So be cognizant of the fact that you have to learn to think well about the past and present to ultimately live a better life and move on with your life.

My dear, don’t let your failures and rejections define your life. See them as a guide to a better future.

Love you always,

Dad
