Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.allisoncarmen.com/overcoming-rejection-to-fulfill-our-dreams/ Quotes to ponder: "Maybe reminds us that even when things are challenging, uncertainty holds potential, and outcomes can be beneficial."

Maybe we can accept them and still be okay. Maybe things can improve." Episode references: Tantor Audio: https://www.tantor.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
