How to Overcome Rejection in 2 Steps

How to Overcome Rejection in 2 Steps

Have you ever felt rejected? Like really rejected? Perhaps many times over and over again?!

Do any of these messages sounds familiar to you, “wipe that frown off your face”, “you’re acting like such a crybaby”, “I’ll give you something to cry about”, “oh my god, you’re acting like such a girl right now”, “What a sissy”. Ouch! Very misogynistic right? 

These, and countless messages like these, are what I grew up with as a little boy. And, because I valued connection it had me reject a really important part of myself, my sensitivity.

I rejected my sensitivity, which includes my empathy and my emotions, because I wanted you to like me. I wanted my parents to not be mad at me. I didn’t want to get in trouble. I didn’t want to get bullied. I didn’t want to get picked on. I didn’t want to get beat up on the playground.

Can you relate?

Check out my 20 min Talk I did at Mark Grove’s Masters Of The Universe Summit in 2018. Be sure to listen to the very end to get the 2 ways to overcome rejection.

The One Class We Never Got In School But Should Have

Somewhere in my early 30’s I realized that I missed one of the most important classes I could have taken in school–a class on relationships.

It wasn’t until I broke 7 hearts, burned countless bridges, and ran away from conflict for about 20 years that I realized that I had missed something. (more…)

One of the most fundamental skills we need to navigate life’s challenges is not formally taught to us. We learn through the school of hard knocks and most of us get some pretty big scars. These scars don’t heal unless you use the very best methods to become stronger. Join me here as I invite you into something very special. Something that could impact us well beyond our life.
