#244 - Why Rejection Might Mean You're on the Right Path

People tell me all the time that it looks like I get everything I want.Ummm... NO. I hear no ALL THE TIME.And weirdly enough, the further I get in my career and the bigger the opportunities become, the bigger some of those rejections feel too.But I've started looking at rejection differently.Sometimes hearing no isn't proof that you're failing. It might actually mean you're putting yourself in rooms where a YES could change your life.In this episode, we're talking about:• Why going after bigger dreams usually means experiencing more rejection• The Disney auditions that had me questioning everything about myself• Why some of my biggest losses have actually been signs of growth• What winners really do after taking an L• The danger of tying your entire identity to ONE thing• How I've learned to build a life where losing one thing doesn't mean losing myselfFeel the disappointment. Be mad. Cry about it if you need to.Then get back up.Because maybe winning isn't about never taking the L.Maybe it's about refusing to let the L be the end of your story.CHAPTERS:01:33 Why Does It Look Like I'm Always Winning? 03:09 More Opportunities Mean More Rejection 04:18 It Takes Courage to Put Yourself Out There 05:43 When Rejection Feels Personal 07:09 The Bigger My Career Gets, the Bigger the Rejections 10:36 What Winners Actually Do With an L 12:07 The Danger of Tying Your Identity to One Thing 15:10 Who Are You If That Thing Goes Away?You can send fan mail here!@salishathomas @thesalishashow, www.thesalishashow.comMany thanks to Gotham Network in NYC, TyNia Brandon for writing and laying vocals down for the updated theme song and Big Red Studios for the intro video wherever you watch the latest season of The Salisha Show!
