Rejection therapy Day 6 -december 4th

I asked a magazine if they wanted to use my photos, they said yes Failed Rejection

I asked a fairly well known martial arts website if they wanted some writing done for the UK scene, they said yes. Failed Rejection

I asked a girl who I am trying to win back the affections of (I know, the poor girl) if she wanted to meet up for a meal this week. She said no. Rejected.

Much as I was looking forward to the thought of meeting up this girl, I am not disappointed that she said no. I am glad that I got off my arse and took the risk. Rejection over regret…although it did make the rest of the conversation was pretty awkward; but you take the smooth with the rough.

“When you work on your own projects, failure is awesome. When you realise you have been checkmated and there is nothing you can do but stop the project, you learn so much. I think that learning from failure is such an important thing. So when you are working on your own projects don’t be afraid to go out on a limb, because if they do fail you will end up learning a ton from it anyway.”

Jeffrey Kalmikoff and Jake Nickell These two created the website Threadless and said this while giving a speech at 99%

Found this relevant to my rejection therapy and hope you find it interesting too.
