There's no escaping it.

Dear,
I was having a discussion with my friend some days back…
And then he began to talk about the fact that…
"He needs to master what it feels like to fail or to be rejected and everything in between"
So, you know what I did, I smiled.
Not that I was mocking him or anything,
It's the fact that to a point,
I've come to know what it means to be rejected, what it means to fail and what it means to be insulted.
Thank Copywriting for that…
And I told him that, in my field (Copywriting field)...
Rejection is one of the things you will learn to live with as a copywriter whether you want to or not.
You can't escape it.
And I shared my story on how I got a NO for the first time from someone and how it really taught me a lot but it was painful, so painful.
But did I die? It's obvious
Did I move on? DEFINITELY
Will I tell you the story? No!
And I learnt that, if you don't master that act of getting rejected, you will be emotionally down.
An incident that reminded me of that, yesterday happened again.
So lesson 1, don't be too emotionally attached to things if you want to be emotionally intelligent.
Now, what's the purpose of my talk today…
Dear friend,
At one point in life, Rejections will come and they will come strongly…
But you can only get better with it and do better if you…
EMBRACE REJECTIONS.
See, rejection embracing is hard (no point trying to buttress and sugarcoat the truth), it is…
But you NEED to learn to embrace them when they come.
Rejection is a part of life, so there's no escaping it. You will encounter it.
But you should try embracing and see where the zeal to prove that you can be good and better takes you to.
You never can tell.
I've delivered as I've been sent.
I need to go now, I have things to do.
Iree oo. Get ready to enjoy the weekend that is showing its face soon.
