If they did, half of us would quit before we started,\u201d <strong>Emilie<\/strong> said. \u201cThere\u2019s no version of this where \u2018better\u2019 always wins. This business isn\u2019t a meritocracy. It\u2019s alchemy, and you rarely get to see the recipe. This is the hardest part for me. No matter the work I\u2019ve put in, the resume I\u2019ve built, the business seems to run on \u2018I don\u2019t give a damn. Now bend down and kiss the ring.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emilie<\/strong> continued, \u201c\u2019Do the work, then let it go, stop thinking about it\u2019 is the advice we get. But we aren\u2019t robots. Pretending the silence afterward doesn\u2019t sit in your chest for days is ludicrous. Nobody talks about how much energy it takes to keep believing in something that more often than not responds with a \u2018no.\u2019 Maybe the problem was never how much we believed in ourselves. Maybe it\u2019s a business that asks for that much belief and gives so little back. Even saying this much feels like breaking a rule. We\u2019re supposed to be #grateful. #blessed. Never just tired. I\u2019m not saying whether or not it\u2019s worth it. I\u2019m still here. Always believing. But also damn tired.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hallmark star <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/tags\/sharon-lawrence\/\" class=\"celebrity-tag-link\"><strong class=\"celebrity-tag-strong\">Sharon Lawrence<\/strong><\/a> was among the people who praised the post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDeep truth eloquently told.
