Keep Playing

Rejection is not so bad. Sure, I wished I'd beaten the odds and had gotten an acceptance my first try. Isn't that why people play the lottery? To beat the odds? I actually find that my first rejection wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. Perhaps it's because I had prepared myself mentally. I know what the statistics are and what my chances would be. I rolled the dice anyway. You can't win if you don't play. I'm going to play, and I'm going to keep playing until I win. And then, I'm going to play so more.
