Wall of Rejection

This space holds all my rejected work. I keep them as reminders that rejection is the cost we pay trying to move our lives forward; Courage to gamble time and energy on a project we really want to work; Courage to create and build despite criticism or ridicule; Courage to express accurately; Courage to put in work even without the guarantee of reward. Anais Nin said life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. I wish for my life to expand. You may find people using this practice to stay on the path here.
