Why You Need To Persist Even After You Have Been Rejected by atop1(m): 10:56pm On Aug 18, 2014 |
If setting your goals is important, don’t you think achieving them should also be. You probably must have realised that there is more to achieving goal than setting them. To set a goal is the easiest thing to do, but to achieve these goals requires a lot of work and courage. It is very demanding, stressful and tasking. After you have set your goals and you are set for achieving them some questions would start to arise. These questions include: What if I fail? What if I get rejected or mocked? What if I perform below expectation? What if I make mistakes I never should have made? What if…? Until you have nothing more to ask What you need to do Though, the above questions have some elements that draw your attention to them, they keep on building a castle of fear in you. The truth is, these questions need not be answered, because the answers lie within you, but you only fail to realise them. You need to realise that you were not meant to fail, you are meant to be accepted not rejected and your ability is more than expectation rather than below it. William Arthur once said: ‘if you can imagine it, you can create it and if you can create it, you can become it’. So, why not imagine who you want to be so that you can become it. Failure, rejection and mistakes are normal Failure, rejection and mistakes are all normal and at times are necessary for greater achievements. There are great people who have been rejected, who have failed and who definitely at some point in time, made mistakes. Famous figures like J.K Rowling, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison had different experience before they became successful. J.K Rowling, who is currently the richest author, was the author of the famous book Harry Potter, but everyone who has read her book will think it was published on her first trial, but this wasn’t the case because her book was rejected by 12 different publishers before it was later published. The secret to her success is that: she never gave up even after getting herself rejected by 12 different publishers. Thomas Edison, who was the inventor of the light bulb, made his great shot after trying for 10,000 times but when Edison was asked the question about his success, he said: ‘I have not failed, but I have just discovered 10,000 different ways that won’t work’. Here is what I meant This is not a call for you to anticipate failure or make mistake, it is a call to let you persist even after you have been rejected or have failed and to let you know that failure, rejection, mistakes are all bound to happen and at times necessary for human success. You just have to keep on going even though the road is rough. Remember, the road to success is not always smooth. Read more exciting post on www.geotopwriter.com |
