“Don’t waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.“- Ralph Waldo Emerson

To stop wasting yourself in rejection, you must accept rejection with passion, love, and happiness. When it comes to growth, rejection is normal. Just accept it with your whole heart. Remember that rejection is not about you. Rejection is about your action, not you. So don’t make it about you.

When you accept rejection with love, you will begin to see the beauty around you. There are lots of beauty around you. You cannot see them because you are still wasting your life in rejection. Stop! Just stop doing that to yourself.

“Rejection is not about you.”

Accepting rejection starts with you. As you already know, you are your own boss. So lead yourself to your destination. You can’t move forward in your life if you are not ready to let go of rejection. Let it go. It does not belong to you. When you let go of rejection, then you attract great things into your life. When you let go of rejection, opportunities will come to you. Take rejection as a blessing, not a curse. Take rejection as a way forward, not a way backward. When you waste your time in rejection, you are not moving forward in your life, but backward.

If you want to go forward in your life, accept rejection as a friend, not an enemy.

If You Want To Really Live Your Life, You Must Stop Preparing To Live

Tomorrow will not change if you are not ready to take action today. Preparation is the beginning of growth, but not the end of growth. If you want to change things, prepare to succeed, not to fail. Too much preparation can lead to failure. Because success comes from knowing when to stop preparing. You cannot prepare all your life. It is time to start doing something. Don’t hide your gifts, bring them out. Don’t use preparation to delay your life. It is good to prepare, but don’t prepare forever.

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Tomorrow will be like today. Life wastes itself whilst we are preparing to live.” It is time to start living. Stop preparing for what you already know. Start doing what you have trained yourself to do. Without action, preparation is useless. If you know you are not ready to go to work, why are you getting ready? You get ready, then you go. You prepare, then you act. Remember, “Knowing is not good enough; you must do. You must act. You must apply what you know.” If you want to change yourself, your life, you must act.
