Dad's Log - A Glimpse Into The Mind Of A Broadcaster

Let's talk about dealing with disappointment. Yesterday I received notice that I was denied partnership with the Mixer platform. It hurt a bit given what the Legion has accomplished in the 2 months we've been on the platform, but it wasn't surprising. It was motivating. I'm hungrier than ever to prove the Legion, and myself, are good enough to represent the Mixer platform as a partnered community. It's important, not just as a broadcaster, but as a person, to do your best to deal with disappointment in a positive way. Getting bitter and resentful about a challenge or stumbling block is the quickest way to turn away potential collaborators, sponsors, companies you want to work with, or whomever else is reached by your negativity. Disappointment is opportunity folks, to get better, to refine your craft, to be positive in the face of defeat. It's easy to give up after major disappointment. The strongest people eat defeat for breakfast and ask for more. Be strong. Be Legion. God Bless!
