I LOVE rejection, I love getting turned down for things, and sometimes it’s best not to even get considered for things, I know that feeling only too well and it’s a valuable part of all our development.
Before you think I have lost my mind, here’s the lowdown.
Being rejected teaches us we are not perfect, and often not as good as we thought we were. Rejection teaches us to become better, to become more resourceful and the more we can offer others, then the better we become, and the more valuable we become to everyone.
Life is a continuous learning process and being knocked down sharpens us up again. It focuses our minds, it gets the fire in our eyes again and makes us realise crystal clear that it’s going to be our hard work that eventually gets us where we want to be.
If you have a relentless work ethic, you are full of passion in what you do, if you want to continuously help people to the best of your ability, you will become so good at something that NOBODY can ignore you anymore.
We all need that fire when we first get up and when we get knocked down, and to smash through all these rejections, we need the fuel of past rejections to do so, because if we keep working hard and be prepared to walk the extra mile, we will become unstoppable.
Your latest rejection can usually be seen as a minor slip on the way to top of the mountain you are climbing. You need to reset, get your footing again, and the magnificent realisation to come will be when you realise that you don’t even NEED those who rejected you in the first place.
You will have developed so much, developed so many new skills, developed so much new toughness that you can do this ALL ON YOUR OWN.
Rejection is only the START of your journey, your greatest VICTORIES are waiting for you to jump up and grab with both hands.
