Stephen King's advice on rejection: Get a bigger nail.He started writing and being rejected at 17. He filed the letters on a nail. When the nail was full he hung another nail. ~ Facebook post by Madonna Dries Christensen
Well, I tried, but it didn't work. I'm hopeless.
Helpless. A miserable failure.
Short answer? Nope. And not "Nope, dope."Sure, maybe you failed. Chalk it up.
Learn from it. Go back to the source.
Find your strength in a Power who can.Surrender. Work the steps. Use the tools.
Hang it on a nail and get a new nail
when you need it. But the more nails you use
if you are really trying, the closer you'll be
to never doubting you can do it
because you have.
