Yes I agree with this, however my take would be to think of it as a statistic... how many nos you need to get to a yes. Right now you don't know your base 'conversion' stats so you don't know how many nos give you a yes. Of course you feel lost but you don't have a base case to compare to. Until you do, you need to keep plugging away and just keep track of your stats.

Say you find and you need 80 job applications to a job offer, well then that's great because then you need to know how many nos you need to brush off to get to the yes. Say you cut it down to 40 job applications to a job offer... well clearly you are getting better at the process.

I think playing these sorts of mind games with yourself is really helpful for keeping your ego intact and handling the rejection productively.
