If only it were easier right? It’s not. But then again…it is! That quote right there comes from a man that grew up on a farm milking cows. He had no real education, a self-described dummy even. But, what he had that most people do not, is commitment and determination. No matter how many times someone told him ‘no’, he kept on going and continued his pursuit of success. He learned how to deal with today’s topic…rejection.
Rejection is a frustrating thing to deal with for some people. Hearing a ‘no’ in itself is negative and that negativity can tend to bring a person down. Human nature dictates that upon hearing a ‘no’, our will is often broken and we feel like we cannot reach our goal(s). I will tell you though, rejection is a blessing in disguise.
Here’s why, every time you get a ‘no’, you’re that much closer to your next ‘YES’! It’s all in how you see things. Dealing with rejection may be more difficult from person to person, but the individual must make that commitment to truly achieve his or her desired success. There is no best way to deal with rejection other than accept the fact it WILL happen, more frequently than any of us would like. Thus, it’s not a matter of dealing with rejection that is the problem, it’s embracing the inevitability.
So, in conclusion, I say to myself and every other person out there on the brink of success…do not give up! Keep trudging through the storms, stay the path, adjust the sails, whatever you need to do. The only person that is entirely responsible for your success is you. You have to make the decision to ‘deal with rejection’, find yourself in the lost sea, swim to the shores and take the island for your own. That’s exactly what I’m doing.
