How do you handle rejection?

Rejection is only a visitor in your life. It comes and goes. Having much experience to share with you on rejection- I will start by saying this "anyone who doesn't experience or hasn't experienced rejection has not started. Such person would be referred to as a new born baby on earth. It's great people that experience and suffer rejection the most. That's to prove to you that rejection is part of growth because it strengthens you to thread on the part of success. In life the greatest tragedy is
not death, it is living without a purpose. What are you worried about?

People laugh at you, always jeering and mocking you, acting as if you are ostracized. You isolate yourself from people because nobody wants to associate or listen to you. They aren't your problem- the problem and solution are in your hand. What's your reaction? 

Leadership is creating an environment that allows people to manifest their gifts for the corporate good. That's good business and that is great leadership. Many people die without manifesting this seed of greatness. They end up taking the seed to the grave without using it, buried with untapped treasure. All this may be as a result of rejection- which made them lose the zeal to fulfill their goals. Because of rejection some people feel inferior hence they find it difficult to work with or use their talents.

Greatness is separating yourself from other people's opinions of you. Greatness is discovering that you are more than what society thought you
were.

People suffer rejection because of lack of understanding. Lack of courage. Low self esteem or inferiority complex- isolation. Listening to people's opinion of you. Lack of self confidence.

People can be rejected because of: class distinction or social status- status quo. Belief or norm, religion, racial prejudice etc. 

Next is "how you can handle rejection"

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
