Reject Rejection

Rejection and what it means to different people is a great topic for discussion. It is really a situation of whatever rejection means to you your right. To quote Henry Ford and apply it here: "Whether you think you can or can't you are right". We have been conditioned to place that decision in the hands of another individual.

The fear of rejection now becomes amazingly strong. If someone says we can't this becomes in scripted it amplifies the thoughts of doubt inside our minds already. Hope is dashed and we feel deflated.

I believe in rejecting rejection. There are a few thoughts that have helped me along the way to dampen the outside messages of rejection:

The first fundamental thought is that there will never be a President of the United States with 100% approval rating. In fact it has been for past campaigns over the last twenty years good numbers if someone has over a 45% approval rating. Do you see what that means over 65% of the population disagrees with what the most powerful office is doing. It puts it into perspective, there will not ever be everyone pleased with the direction you take either.

More powerful than this is that there is a huge part of the population that will be excited about what you are excited about. Being excited leads to being exciting and that is attractive. People will come from miles around to see someone who is exciting. Love your concept and live passionately.

The next thing is that many people are not awake when they give feedback. I have done it you probably have to. A person (maybe yourself) presenting an idea is much more invested than the receiver. The rejection could be mere unconscious insensitivity because it just is not the most important thing on the person receiving the messages mind.

The biggest part is that friends, family members, loved ones don't like change. It is not intentional many times but you fit nice and neat into a box for many of your loved ones. The moment you try something new, it appears scary for them and they cope with this fear strangely. Your ardent supporters can be your biggest opposition. It is not out of malice just out of fear.

These are just a few of the ways I attempt to reject rejection.
