I had a friend who was a very successful manager in Nashville and he told me that the acts he worked with who really made it big all had one thing in common. They all had an incredible capacity to not receive or at least remain totally unphased by the word “NO.” The skill to not take it in or have it let them deflate or set them back at all. Maybe this is the quality that creates a champion?
We could all do well to master this skill. Not to just be able to refuse to take no for an answer but to be able to not having it diminish your energy or the way you feel about yourself at all. ?The Law of Attraction teachers Abraham-Hicks stress the importance of feeling good in the moment as much as possible as key to creating your positive future. The danger of taking a hit of someone else’s rejection and taking it to heart can set us back if we let it. And if this becomes a pattern, it can hold us back from reaching our Ultimate Potential in Mind and Body.
Sensitivity to rejection comes from our history and our old programming but we can undo that and create new patterns. We can learn how to let the “No’s” bounce off and fall to the ground without feeling them, without even being bothered. And when they do get in, we can use the tools that we have learned to clear them, get that negative energy off of us and set ourselves free.
Today, I will practice mastering the skill of being unmoved by the “No’s” or rejections. I will realize that I don’t need everyone to like me. Just the ones who matter. And I will recognize that if someone doesn’t like me 99% of the time, it’s more about them and their shit than it is about me. And usually, it has nothing to do with me at all.
