You Can’t Pick Wins Without Accepting Losses
A friend once asked a veteran insurance salesperson,
“Don’t you get discouraged facing rejection after rejection every single day?”
The salesperson replied, “Not really. I know I close about one sale for every ten calls I make. So when someone says no, I just see it as one step closer to the person who will say yes.”
It’s Not About the Math — It’s About the Mindset
Now, if you’re someone who deals in statistics, you might jump in and point out that each call is an independent event — and technically, a rejection doesn’t improve your odds on the next one.
Fair enough. But that’s not the point.
The power of that mindset is in how it reframes failure. Instead of taking a rejection personally or letting it wear you down, you see it as part of the process — even necessary for progress.
Big Goals Come With Bigger Setbacks
No one reaches ambitious goals without running into resistance along the way. In fact, the bolder your vision, the higher your tolerance for failure needs to be.
Success and failure aren’t opposites. They’re partners. You can’t choose one without accepting the other.
You Can’t Pick Just the Wins
Every achievement carries with it a trail of setbacks, missteps, and no’s. That’s the trade-off.
You either accept both — or neither.
The choice is yours.
