So you've been rejected. That sucks. Sorry. But what kind of rejection? There's the obvious one we all know, romantic rejection. But there are also professional rejections, like not getting a job or getting into a school or program. Then there's being rejected as a friend, or generally, as a human being. And with the ubiquity of social networks, there are now more ways than ever to be rejected.

I recently moved Must Triumph to a new podcasting host. Now, none of this should matter to you. What's supposed to happen is, all the platforms you listen from should seamlessly switch over from the old host to the new host. But sometimes that doesn't happen. So to make sure your feed has been updated, I've uploaded this episode and if after a few days you see a new episode after this one, then you're good. You don't have to do anything.

But if this is the last episode you see on your feed forever, then your feed somehow didn't update.

It takes a lot of creativity to be angry and miserable. But you can't use up misery, you'll always have more. Misery isn't something that builds up, like a pressure cooker, it's more like an addiction or habit. And just as using more drugs doesn't get drug addiction out of your system, constantly venting misery doesn't make misery go away.

Writer and poet Maya Angelou said, "You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” And that's the same for misery, the more you use, the more you have.

Life is experiential, and exercise should improve our capacity for experience and readiness for living. It's in the chase for better body parts that we miss becoming a better self.

Often it is the warrior like Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi (c. 1584 – 1645) who is more applicable to the everyday person than a philosopher or monk. It is not that we need a more adversarial viewpoint or that Musashi gives us better insight than German philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein or Taoist poet Chuang Tzu. Warriorship is philosophy delivered through a code of living—which is much easier to implement.

This is day 30 of this 30-day practice. After 30 days, perhaps you'll notice a change in yourself. So I welcome you to invite others to this practice, form groups, or to take this practice and make it your own.
