Great post! I especially like the Tony Robbins quote. Some sound thoughts here. Success comes to those who make mistakes and face rejection and failure, but get up again and again to work harder and smarter.

As a writer, sometimes I struggle to pluck words from nothingness and string them together into a story, but I sit down and write anyway. When one book isn't picked up by a major agent or publisher, I pen another one, and another, and consider other options (like self-publishing).

Like the Japanese proverb says: "Fall down seven times, get up eight."

As someone who is relatively new in this community, I realize it's up to me to prove I can create amazing content and be a fun, supportive friend to those I find interesting enough to follow. Success requires honest hustle, and favours those who are willing to keep at it for the long haul. Steem on!
