Oh rejection. We see you. You are one of our most feared of all human experiences.

Those of us who are brave enough to put our work out in the world will most likely face some sort of rejection along the path towards our dreams.

A refusal. A dismissal. A denial.

A straight up NO.

The hard truth is- sometimes we lose. And the fear of losing is often what keeps us from trying again or even from attempting to create something new in the first place.

But what if when we Lose, it's not always a Loss?

This is a challenging reframe. Often rejection just feels like proof that we really aren’t good enough, talented enough - just not enough.

Kind people who love us will tell us the rejection was a blessing in disguise. But it can be challenging to find the silver lining. But that is where the magic lies.

Our power lies in our ability to find renewed resilience in the face of rejection.  To keep going. Even when we lose out on something that we really really want- a job, a relationship, a home- we must learn to see it as just another step on our journey.

Because you cannot see your whole path from here. If you keep going, you will look back weeks, months or years from now and see that the rejection was a necessary step on your path towards where you ended up.

This is big work. Work that requires Trust. Faith. Patience.

Work that requires us to let go of “How”, let go of force, control and manipulation.

Work that requires Trust. Faith. Patience.

You will see how all the No’s added up to your big Yes.

That all the paths led to your dream.

You will learn that when you Lose, it’s not really a Loss.

Relax, accept, trust - and keep going.  Try again.

Rejection happens. Resilience is a choice.

Every time you lose it’s not always a loss.
