Accumulate failure

You’re not failing too much.

You’re not failing enough.

The richest people lose the most money.

The most connected people get rejected the most.

The most successful people fail the most.

This isn’t coincidence.

It’s arithmetic.

More swings. More misses. More hits.

Your ceiling isn’t set by talent.

It’s set by how much uncertainty you’re willing to handle.

The person who wins isn’t avoiding rejection.

They’re collecting it.

Stop protecting yourself from failure.

Start accumulating it.

Your success is hiding on the other side of attempts you haven’t made yet.
