3 ways to handle rejections!
Rejections are part of the game. There is no such a thing as winning without losing. Rejections will come, and we must understand they are part of the journey, and they should never be taken personally.
1) REJECTION IS A MYTH!
First we must remember, rejection is a myth. It is quite simple. What if we asked a girl for a date, and she rejected it. Does that make us a failure. Certainly not. We have lived without her, and we can certainly live after that…but it us our own self. If we let ourselves tell that we are unattractive, useless, and terribly ugly then we take those things to heart, and that is what which breaks our heart. Instead, take a rejection as a myth. It is not permanent.
2) Some will, Some won’t, So What…..
It is a sign of maturity to understand that some will say yes, and some will say no. But does that mean we are failure. No.No.No. We are not. Rejections happen for everyone, but if you persist then someone is surely going to say yes.
3) JUST SAY “NEXT!”
This is another powerful word besides, Ask. If we keep asking we are going to get answers. We might get a yes or a no, but when we receive a no, we got to say a word called, “next”. After every rejection tell next. Keep telling next and someone will surely say yes. This is called perseverance.
This manuscript of yours that has just come back from another editor
is a precious package. Don’t consider it rejected. Consider that
you’ve addressed it “to the editor who can appreciate my work”
and it has simply come back stamped “not at this address.”
Just keep looking for the right address.

I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear
to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.

Here are SOME FAMOUS REJECTIONS
The girl doesn’t, it seems to me, have a special perception or feeling
which would lift that book above the “curiosity”level.
From the rejection slip for The Diary of Anne Frank
Everyone who has ever made it to the top has had to endure rejections. You
just have to realize that they are not personal. Consider the following:
■ When Alexander Graham Bell offered the rights to the telephone
for $100,000 to Carl Orton, president of Western Union, Orton
replied, “What use would this company make of an electrical toy?”
■ Angie Everhart, who started modeling at the age of 16, was once told
by model agency owner Eileen Ford that she would never make it as
a model. Why not? “Redheads don’t sell.” Everhart later became the
first redhead in history to appear on the cover of Glamour magazine,
had a great modeling career, and then went on to appear in 27 films
and numerous TV shows.
■ Novelist Stephen King almost made a multimillion-dollar mistake
when he threw his Carrie manuscript in the garbage because he was
tired of the rejections. “We are not interested in science fiction
which deals with negative utopias,” he was told. “They do not sell.”
Luckily, his wife fished it out of the garbage. Eventually Carrie was
printed by another publisher, sold more than 4 million copies, and
was made into a blockbuster film.
■ In 1998, Google cofounders Sergey Brin and Larry Page approached
Yahoo! and suggested a merger. Yahoo! could have snapped up the
company for a handful of stock, but instead they suggested that the
young Googlers keep working on their little school project and
come back when they had grown up. Within 5 years, Google had an
estimated market capitalization of $20 billion. At the time of this
writing, they were about to launch an initial public offering auction
that eventually raised $1.67 billion.
It is impossible to sell animal stories in the U.S.A.
From the rejection slip for George Orwell’s Animal Farm
The record for the most astounding number of rejections would probably be
John Creasey’s. A popular British mystery writer, Creasey collected 743 rejection
slips before he sold his first book! Impervious to rejection, over the
next 40 years he went on to publish 562 full-length books under 28 different
pseudonyms! If John Creasey can handle 743 rejections on his way to success,
so can you.

Do it now!
This is the most difficult thing to do, but if we can avoid procrastination then we can achieve anything in life.
1) Make a master list
2) Priority the list
3) Then work from the list, but handle it single mindedly until the task is completed.
4) Keep repeating the words Do it now, Do it now!
5) Visual as though the work has already been completed.
