How did y'all keep yourself motivated through the recruiting cycle?

when all of you went through the recruiting season for summer positions at IBs, how did y'all keep yourself motivated through the whole thing?

I am pouring my heart and soul into networking and applying and I have a really good resume (3.80+ GPA, related internships both freshman year and upcoming summer, in the top programs at Uni) and I have not seen any opportunity materialize. Already got rejected at One company after 2 interviews, and other places where I thought I will be contacted, nothing has happened. Being a results-driven person, I am on the fast track to losing motivation since I don't see positive results at all. How did y'all manage?
