Do you Fear Rejections? Read this!




Rejections are a part of life and one must live with it. People react to rejections in different ways. There are people who don’t even dare to pursue a certain thing because of the fear of rejection. Another type of people pursues things but give up after few rejections. The third category of people are rare to find because they are champions and they never give up on their dreams.

They never get bobbed down by the challenges they face. They never surrender themselves under extreme circumstances. They always keep moving forward despite rejections. They never alter their goals, they never settle for less, they never lower their benchmark and they never want to quit. They will always comeback stronger after a rejection and prove their worth.

When people are rejected, they often take that rejection personally. But the rejection was based on the other person’s view about you. It might not be the real you or he might have perceived you in some other way. You are the one who knows your true worth. So, rejections must never let you down. Instead you must always take a lesson from your rejection, work on your craft and come back stronger.

There are traits you can develop that takes the fear of rejection out of your mind. You can practice it in real life and can get benefit from it. Imagine a broke person asking for a free meal from strangers at a restaurant. He might get rejected by a few people but there will be one who will help him with his meal and may even do more than that. On the other hand, a homeless not asking anyone for meal or help, will never get help because he didn’t ask for it. This technique is very simple to master. You must become a person who’s not afraid of rejections by asking anyone and everyone. If you are looking for a publisher to publish your work, then you must ask for it. You just can’t take a back seat thinking that you might get rejected. Of course, you are new in this and you will be rejected by some but there will be that one publisher who’s ready to give you a chance. But you can only reach him if you keep trying after each rejection.

But if you stop your journey due to rejections then you will not be able to reach anywhere in life. When you ask for something, you are always at better chance of getting that thing than others who didn’t ask. When you try things or move up the ranks then rejections are invariably going to happen. Therefore, it all depends on you whether you take these rejections in a positive or a negative manner. So, whenever you get rejected, don’t panic, just go back to the drawing board, tweak your skills and come back with a bang.

Love and power to you

What is Independence?

Image
                                        Independence is letting your kids chose their career path. Independence is letting your daughter chose her better half. Independence is letting your wife make as many friends she wants. Independence is letting your spouse work on any project or career he/she wants. Independence is not pressurizing your spouse for having a baby. Independence is not interfering in your family member’s life. Independence is letting your kids live a life they want.  Every Indian is enjoying this day as we got freedom from the Britishers in 1947 on this very day. I am always excited on this day every year as my life is seriously connected with the word, independence. I have lived my life on my terms and had the ultimate freedom in making study and career choices. In choosing my better half and in choosing the way I want to live. My father is religious, but I am not. My mother is graduate from a top university, but I am college drop out. I have been lucky in my life

Read books

Image
                                   This is an activity that most millennial's lack these days. I am afraid that reading books will soon be a thing of the past. Books are your real friends. When you need inspiration, you can grab a book and read it. You learn greatly through books. I remember that I was never a good reader. I would read occasionally but in 2015 I got my hand on a book ‘Long walk to freedom’ by Nelson Mandela. The reason I bought that book was that I admired him greatly and always wanted to meet him in person. But this is the story of most of the people, we want to meet our heroes but it’s not always easy. Famous people hardly have time to meet others and some of my heroes are from 18 th and 19 th century. So, meeting them was out of question. Long walk to freedom is an autobiography of Nelson Mandela. It contains more than 700 pages and he has put his heart in that book. While reading famous personality’s autobiography, you feel that they are directly talking to

Get rid of excuses

Image
                                    Majority of people who fail in life are very good at making excuses. In your life you must be good in most of the things you do. But be a bad liar and dishonest in making excuses. People who find excuses to do certain things are enemies of their own. This also weakens the character of a person. People who often make excuses are very unreliable and you can’t depend on them for any important task or responsibility. The most common excuse that people make is "I don’t have time". You’ve got to take out time for everything. If you plan your time smartly, then you will be surprised to see that you have an ample amount of time in your life for everything. There can be situations in your life when you are intentionally avoiding a certain thing. Instead of finding a foolish excuse, just say no. Don’t try to use excuses to escape out of a situation. Be truthful and honest to yourself. You must be very straight forward in your approach. A lot
