The Truth About Rejection

Rejection is like failure.

Both are unavoidable.

We can either earn rejection by asking for what we want. Or we can choose rejection by doing nothing.

There are notable benefits in taking the first option. If we ask for what we want:

1) We will learn how to ask for things we want in ways that increase our chances of receiving an acceptance. So, risking rejection ultimately leads to less rejection.

2) We will eventually receive what we ask for. True, it may require many requests. But eventually, someone will say "Yes."

3) Some people will help you find better ways to ask. For example, I received two pages of ideas on how to promote my workshops from someone who "rejected" an offer that I had made a couple of months ago. [ Thank you! ]

On the other hand, choosing rejection begins at home. That is, if you do nothing, you are actually rejecting yourself. That's bad because self rejection teaches nothing, earns nothing, and lasts forever.

So here is a friendly nudge to ask for what you want.

Then pay attention to the responses that you receive. Use these as learning experiences to improve your ability to ask.

Key Point: Achieve success by seeking rejection.

Much success,
