How to Overcome Rejection + Reclaim Your Power
The fear of rejection is practically hardwired into our DNA. We want to be accepted as part of the human tribe.
We’ve all had the nightmares:
You’re standing in front of a huge crowd of people and they start to boo you and throw bananas at your face.
You work your ass off to land a new job or get accepted to a prestigious school, only to receive a letter of rejection telling you you’re not good enough.
A guy or girl that you really like ends up ghosting you or tells you “sorry, it’s not going to work out” and you wonder what you did wrong, if you were too fat and ugly or you just talked too much and embarrassed yourself.
Rejection triggers the same parts of our brain as physical pain. Some may say it feels even worse. It’s the feeling that we aren’t good enough and we aren’t accepted by the group.
But what if rejection is a glowing blessing rather than a confidence-shattering punch?
What if rejection is just another turn on the map?
A detour in the right direction?
