Rejection is kryptonite.
You put yourself out there, cards on the table, heart on your sleeve.
You desperately hope for that magic-infused three-letter word.
Instead, it’s another “No”.
No to your product. No to your service.
And of course, what you hear is “No, because you’re not good enough”.
How do you handle rejection?
How do you pick yourself up off the floor, time and again, and keep the fight alive?
How do you persevere when the universe screams at you to “stay down!”?
I think it’s a superpower.
It can’t be taught; it can only be learned, the hard way.
If you extend the hand of friendship to the world, you expect to have it slapped away.
Ninety-nine percent of people won’t want what you’re offering.
But that’s ok — it’s the one percent you’re after.
Keep the fight alive for them.
Make rejection your yellow sun.
