Rejection hurts. But the real rejection is self-rejection. If you don’t reject yourself, no one can reject you. Rejection happens within you.

You don’t fear rejection. You fear the problems after rejection. If you want to deal with that, you must first accept yourself. Without self- acceptance, you cannot fight or cope with the issues that come with rejection. According to Bo Bennett, “It is not rejection itself that people fear; it is the possible consequences of rejection.” If you want to build a great life, you must conquer the fear of rejection. You must be in love with yourself. Love conquers everything. If you feel rejected, love yourself even more. With love, rejection is meaningless. With love, your world is bigger than rejection.

Why You Should Not Give Up Your Dreams

Nothing in life is easy. It is scary to start new things, to dream new dreams, to love, or to do something new. It is not easy, and it will never be easy. That doesn’t mean you should quit your dreams. It doesn’t mean you should give up on yourself. It means you should work harder to make your dreams happen.

Your dream is your dream. You must do something to keep it alive. You must do something to make it a reality. Nothing happens by accident. It happens when you do something. That is true for your dreams. If you want your dreams to come true, you must do something about them. You must face your fears. You must leave your comfort zone. You must think new thoughts. You must meet new people who can help you succeed. If not, it is not going to happen.

No matter what, don’t give up. As Thomas Edison famously said, “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” It is easier to give up than to continue fighting for you want. You want your dreams, right? You must fight to make it happen. Dream alone won’t make it happen, work does.
