} open up, this is a raid "Going back to our manager at the beginning of this article, I wish I had said a few things to him: Don’t beat yourself up about it. Don’t overly introject this as a failure that is a representation of your value and worth as a person. Your life and your career are not defined by this. But do be disappointed. Do be frustrated. Do seek to understand what happened. Do seek to know if you could develop your management and leadership. Do seek to learn from this experience. But please, please don’t drop that soul-crushing curtain of “it’s not personal.” Yes, if you take work personally, you will get hurt along the way. You will be disappointed, be let down, and sometimes wonder if it is worth it. But just like that other great mystery of life — being in love — what really is the alternative? To not love at all so as to never be heartbroken? Surely not. To not take it personally so as to never be disappointed? Surely not. For your own sake, and for the people who work with you, this is your life. Take it — all of it — personally."
