Defined: To “not be bothered by rejection at all” … doesn’t mean that it doesn’t sting

It means that you don’t allow the sting to prevent you from trying again.

My favourite encapsulation of this comes from Winston Churchill, who said:

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm.”

Because you inevitably WILL stumble. You will fuck up. You will make mistakes. But THE KEY is that you don’t let those mistakes stop you. You must keep stepping up to the plate. You must keep swinging.

This is the only way.

@RestivoCarla @allenfuller @nickgerli1 @jaredpolis This was such a good read and eye opener. I recommend it all the time!

@sassafras0910 @DesireeAmerica4 Don’t let them know, they are gonna infect our beautiful backroads with their highway road rage. I love the scenery and just lie and say “ahh highway traffic was brutal today” 😂

@OfSons90168 @DavidRamsdenWoo Very true, the guy who posted this renovation is in a pocket that still allows STRs. Anyone who lives here and actually works in the county hates all the investment and votes in favor of stricter regulations every time. People want to raise kids where they grew up, who knew🤷‍♂️

@Claudin84709133 @ChaplainRob @MJTruthUltra In some places that is the starter home price. In my area homes are $500-650 sqft. I wish I could find a starter home for less than $300k

@ozo_ranky1987 @FilipPoznic @Ballislife @ballinthefampod exactly, we remove tipping and food goes up 20% overnight or restaurants go under. Industry standard for profits YOY is like 8%-15% of total rev it’s not a glorious or super profitable endeavor.

@DarthGwap @Damnitbobbywhy @Ballislife @ballinthefampod So that server that had to tip out 5%-8% of sales on the table $150-$240 had to come out of pocket so you could get paid for the day because multi millionaire MPJ doesn’t feel like he should have to tip that much. Not saying it’s right that’s just reality

@trevor785 @kbryanw @NUCLRGOLF 100k+ in damage is not a no big deal moment

@HammondCheddar @TKainZero @Shico7779234053 Hammond I’m in north boulder. Round of golf on me at flatirons in TKs place when I’m back from my vacation next week.

Suddenly, you're 27.

You make your coffee, rush to work, come home around 7, and you're too tired to do anything except eat, scroll on your phone, and pass out.

Then you wake up, and do it all again.

And when Friday comes, maybe you go out, or maybe you're just too tired. Then, out of nowhere, it hits you.

How did everything pass by so quickly?

You don't even feel 27.

You still feel like that 17 year old kid who thought they had all the time in the world.

But somehow, 10 years just disappeared. And you start missing the past. The feeling of being young, excited, and clueless.

But then you realize, one day, you'll miss this, too.

Being 25, being confused, being tired, but still trying.

So maybe the trick is to slow down a bit and actually live this chapter before it also becomes just another memory.

The point is no matter what age you are, you’ll miss these days. Life gets busy sometimes and it’s always a good time to stop and smell the roses.

@GlobalHitman My roomate had nearly this same exact experience and he tried hard to stay in America, just wasn’t feasible monetarily.

@WakingAmericaUp @BryanJP19 @pnwguerrilla Most could say the same to you about Mike Lee’s proposal. His history shows it was never gonna be for the everyday American

[preston @prestonv16]

@GoonerPires @DStoneFlorida @SorensenFarms @TONYxTWO @SarahisCensored So you understand then years of illegal immigration also creates wage suppression in these fields. Americans would do these jobs if paid more, but flooding the job market was illegals being paid unwell. Deportation is a quick way to have blue collar jobs see upward wage pressure

The modern struggle

Lone individuals summoning inhuman willpower,

fasting, meditating, and exercising,

up against armies of scientists & statisticians weaponizing abundant food, screens, & medicine into junk food, clickbait news, infinite porn, endless games & addictive drugs.

I really like who I’m becoming. Can you say the same?

[wanye @xwanyex]

Which seems more likely here: that poor people voted against their own interests? Or that rich people don’t understand poor people’s interests?

[preston @prestonv16]

@kymatt77777 @freeborn_wolf @AetiusRF Was gonna say the same thing! But also 80% of Colorado would consider 5 miles a short hike too

Let people know how much you appreciate them. It goes a long way, and chances are they probably don’t hear it enough. Tell people what they mean to you.
