Aboard the USS Cavalla. Serving 1943-1968, this submarine is now a museum and a fascinating look at how people lived on a sub for months at a time. Space was tight – apparently some sailors slept with torpedoes inches above and below them. 😯 #submarine #navy #museum #galveston #history #wwii via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/Cvhgw6guyLQ/

This quote that came up on a list of quotes to help you deal with rejection. It underscores the idea that rejection is a milestone, a sign of progress, a proper kick in the butt. It’s a sign that you need to work on something, be patient, or change your direction.
Whether it’s for a job, a goal, or a relationship, rejection is oddly empowering. You took a risk; you put it out there. You should be proud. Hopefully you leaned something and know how to move forward with new wisdom.
Hearing “no” doesn’t mean “never.” The only things you can do are to constantly pursue growth … and make sure you’re prepared to walk in the room.

I like how this quote focuses on self-reflection and growth rather than wasting your time feeling bad or, worse yet, becoming resentful.
No more gas stations for me. 🎉 Unless I’m craving a Slim Jim or a Slurpee, obviously. #minielectric #minise #clouds #car #ev #selfiesortof @mini via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CvPbpXSu898/
Here’s another quote from the movie Boyhood, this one from the dad played by Ethan Hawke. I always admired this character as a single dad who is supportive, engaged, and loving to his kids but also has his own thing going on.
The high-school-aged son is hurting because his girlfriend Sheena left him for a college lacrosse player. The son is feeling bad about himself.
The dad gives a great pep talk, reminding his son, “If you truly take care of you, you will be amazed at how much girls like Sheena start lining up at your front door” and then:
I guarantee you that every day of your life that you spend crying over some silly girl is a complete waste of time.
That’s easier said than done, but so true.
