“Why didn’t they pick me?”

Well, for all sorts of reasons. Personal ones, reasonable ones, unreasonable ones, mood ones, timing ones, not yet time ones.

Maybe even lack of (enough) talent ones.

At the end of the day it simply wasn’t for them. Even though you gave it your very best shot. And it won’t be for most people who come across your “thing”.

But when we don’t get picked, when “they don’'t get me”, I don’t think that should lead us to try and become more like somebody else.

Quite the opposite. We should turn our faces to the wind.

And become More Like Ourselves.
