To Get There, Set Unrealistic Goals.
How to become successful writer or anything you want to do?
Maybe I am better at asking myself what is it to fail in writing — or fail as someone who wants to write?
When you see many other writers making huge and getting their work published all over the world and here I am getting rejections.
You may be getting rejected from jobs, potential clients, in your relationship, or any other aspect of your life. Rejections are inevitable. I haven’t met anyone who hasn’t faced a single rejection in their life. No matter how big or small it is.
“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” — Samuel Beckett
The above lines are from Beckett’s 1983 story, Worstword Ho!
I stumbled across this article here: Open Culture, describing how Beckett’s quote has gained so much popularity with entrepreneurs.
Similarly, Tim Ferris says in one of his blog posts, “I believe that success can be measured in the number of uncomfortable conversations you’re willing to have. I felt that if I could help students overcome the fear of rejection with cold-calling and cold e-mail, it would serve them forever”.
It’s easy to sell yourself short.
Sometimes failure can lead to better learning and trying out things, leveling up, or trying out things that you haven’t done before.
Hopefully whatever you’ve found so far has been fabulously helpful and you’re ready to get going.
As someone who’s started writing online fairly recently with no background and not familiar with anything.
But as I am still mulling over now and trying to learn, not sure of the future and how it’s going to all turn out, but in the middle of all that one thought that has stuck is hoping it helps me fail gracefully and maybe better.
