...read politics!
This is a newly discovered panacea for self-doubt.
Next time I feel dejected about something that didn't happen the way I anticipated it would, I will merely open up the pages of the Washington Post and read about Mitch McConnell, John McCain and Harry Reid. These are politicians well-known in the United States.
McConnell survives the relentless derision he faces from comedians like Jon Stewart and continues to brazen out his increasingly rigid stance against Obama.
McCain lost the presidential elections and is among the most moderate and yet, important, Republicans in the Senate.
Think about Anthony Wiener. I would have fizzled down and shrunk away if I were caught sexting by the world. But look at him (or rather, don't look at him): up he springs again! :)
I need to take a page out of these people's stories and stop moping about some apparent setback in my life.
