We are often our own worst enemies when it comes to realizing the success we desire in life. We sabotage our own success by being too willing to accept the limitations that others attempt to place on us. This happens when we accept even well-meaning comments from people we like and trust such as “that’ll never work”, “you can’t do that” or “why don’t you just stick to what you know will work”. Those comments when accepted and acted upon, act as a wet blanket being thrown over or ambitions for building a better life for ourselves. In addition, we often get turned down for promotions or have our ideas rejected for a variety of reasons, some legitimate and some not. Look to the ‘Big Why’ you have for pursuing your better life and ‘Reject Rejection’ by continuing to move towards your goal. There are plenty of famous examples to draw on such as Thomas Edison continuing to pursue the electric lightbulb after dozens of failed attempts or Michael Jordan not making the varsity basketball team as sophomore and using that as motivation to work harder and get better. You don’t need those examples for you to realize the success you desire. You only need to connect with your inner motivations for realizing the success you want to provide the courage and energy to ‘Reject Rejection’ and keep pursuing your goals.
