There is an old saying that goes a little something like....."If at first you don't succeed try, try, again." This is a true principle of progression and growth. Hearing the word "No" simply means next opportunity when you are striving to fulfill your destiny. I know that example has been used a million times at least. My question is what else could it mean?
Do you really have time to give up and start over? Giving up according to my experiences took more energy and focus than simply rethinking and relaunching what I'd already started. In most cases when we strike out too fast and we skip the preparation stages we set ourselves up for failure. If you are struggling with a new venture, business, career path or a new personal life goal or strategy it may not mean what you're doing is wrong.
Revisit the plan. If you haven't written a plan of action write one. If you have to revisit the idea after seeking some extra training and preparation then do that. whatever you do don't give up.
Final thought of motivation: Ask yourself this question. Where would we be as a culture and a nation if Henry Ford had given up during his pursuit to create the T-model car? His thought turned into a multi- billion dollar industry. Where would we be as a culture and as a nation if the wright brothers quit on their dream to create the airplane? The answer is someone else would have capitalized on an opportunity God created them to maximize. They would have been full of If I would've, could've', and I should-as'
RE-think and RE-launch
