very, very comfortable with it. it's like statistics, you cannot win all the time, failure in some form is 100% inevitable.

as long as you don't make it about your ego, you learn lessons.

Failure is also kind of a matter of framing too. When you approach women, most will reject, when you play sports, you will win some and lose some; when you lift weights, the iron will keep you honest, when you start a business, there will be failure.

Here's a failure I had yesterday, a recruiter wanted to put me in for a well-paid remote job that was 100% match for my skills. Decade of experience in the exact field, tons of references, portfolio etc

The client didn't even want to talk to me because the fact that I have been self-employed for a decade made them uncomfortable. Now, anyone can tell you, it's a lot harder to be self-employed than be an office worker who collects a salary no matter what, and clocks in and out.

So in a way, we can say I have failed - failed to secure more income for sat stacking, but on the other hand, I would say the potential employer failed because they have no idea what they missed out on!
