Sometimes, you might wonder whether others actually like or believe in you. You might feel scared about meeting new people, taking on a new project at work, or getting together with old friends. This is a normal part of being human, even spiritual. But you can defend yourself of these worries. It's like going to gym. It takes practice to know that rejection is part of the process and builds you.
A good friend of mine told me once that you don't grow on the mountain top, its is in the valley and trouble where we grow. -Michale Mishoe
So what are some exercises? Offense with rejection.
Use these proven strategies to banish those fears:
- Figure out what, specifically, you’re afraid of
- Feel the fear, face your concerns, and move forward with others anyway
- Let go of others’ responses to you
- Dispute your fear with facts. Acknowledge that there are times when you performed well or made a great impression.
- Try displaying some of the pleasant characteristics that draw you to others

Note: I have 26 years of rejection. But for every No, I knew there was a yes. I was never willing to give into NO for life. I would find a way. A way that is appropriate and loving. Giving all of me in every situation is what always won. FOR ALL. And glorified God.
