Gratitude Series: Day 7

Day 7 of 7

1. I’m grateful for this community that reminds me I’m not alone, especially in those tough moments of rejection and self-doubt.

2. I’m grateful for the growth I've experienced, learning to trust in my own potential and keep pushing forward, even when things don't go as planned.

3. I’m grateful for the resilience I’ve built, allowing me to stay motivated and hopeful, even when things feel uncertain or out of reach.

After reading a post here on Substack, I felt seen in a way that’s hard to describe. I’ve been dealing with my own rejection recently (made it to the top three out of hundreds of applicants, and still didn’t get the job). It crushed me, especially since I’ve been feeling stuck in my current role for a while, knowing I could be doing so much more. But reading their words reminded me that this waiting, this rejection, doesn’t mean I’m not worthy or capable. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but I’m learning to trust the process, even when it feels like things aren’t moving. This community has been a real lifeline, reminding me I’m not alone, and I’m holding onto the belief that better things are still coming.
