You want to know what feels really good?
Not being rejected.
But that's not interesting.
So we're not talking about that today.
We're talking about being rejected because that's interesting.
Unfortunately, painful and uncomfortable things tend to be more interesting in conversation.
I'm not sure why that is, but it's definitely true.
And the thing about rejection is that all of us have experienced it before.
We've all been rejected at least once, and we're all going to continue to experience rejection.
It's inevitable, and it's almost guaranteed to happen.
It's just one of those things that we can't avoid.
You know, we can do everything right.
We can be perfect, and we're still at risk of being rejected.
It's just the way life works.
No one's safe.
No one.
The thing that's interesting about rejection is that it's not the most painful experience out there.
There are far more painful experiences out there.
But rejection is still incredibly uncomfortable.
And I think the reason why it's so uncomfortable is because it stirs up a handful of uncomfortable feelings in oneself.
