Yeah, I’m like 10 years late on this one, but I’ve finally gotten into podcasts. On my post-work walks I listen to old episodes of Conan Needs a Friend. In an episode with Stephen Colbert, Conan talked about how early in his career, his dream was to be a writer on Letterman. He had written a packet and sent it off, and he felt that once he was a writer on Letterman, he would have made it. When he got passed, he was devastated.
Thanks for this generous post, Anita. Interestingly, my Yogi tea bag from earlier today vibed on a similar wavelength: "give thanks for unknown blessings that are already on the way" (let me hasten to add that I think Yogi may have borrowed this from a Native American prayer). Here's to staying open and not taking rejections as a resounding referendum on one's value or future.
