Welcome to Musing Interruptus. Thank you for clicking, thank you for listening. Are you intrigued? Me too. What do you mean this is toilet? Exactly what is toilet? Who or what gets qualified as toilet? I’ll tell you what. It is my worst fear. This is the phrase I most fear in terms of rejection. For instance, someone might walk into my house and see my paintings and go straight passed wondering if young children live in the house and are allowed to use toxic oil paints and simply say… this is just waste. Or, you call that writing? No dear, that is toilet.
Rejection is a part of life and growth. Well, let me rephrase, learning how to deal with rejection is a part of life and growth. Learning to lose is part of learning how to win. Out of the numerous decisions we make everyday, one is how to react when we are rejected, or when our work is rejected. I don’t know which one is more difficult to face, especially when we have our heart set on a particular outcome. Which leaves space to reflect on our attachment to expectations.
Why shouldn’t we have expectations? We need to direct our energy towards certain goals, unless we want to be static. As if that were possible. Don’t we do things to avoid static? Static interference is bad, static cling is horrible.  Wait, so this is confusing. Are we supposed to be unattached and unmotivated? I’m sure I’m confused. However, achievements cannot be underrated.
So, let's say one is a writer and wants to be a great writer. Then one must put themselves out there and write, and share what is written not only to be a writer, but to receive critique that could generate growth. You have to be brave. A dear dear dear dear dear person related to me told me that after your first 10 rejections, it gets easier. Very easy to accept rejection and then grow from it. We must not be afraid of the sting associated with rejection. Ok. As I mentioned earlier, there are different types of rejections. A rejection to your person, perhaps a friend who turns you down, or a company that has no use for your services, a love misconnection, the satellite is down, it is not you, it is not me… it is the satellite. Relax. But then there is rejection of what you create. Be brave, create, write, fail fast, and learn. This is not only trial and error, it is learning from critiques. Continue Reading
