Overcoming a Fear of Rejection

 
A Message from Noelyne....

How often have you stopped yourself from taking action for fear of rejection by the other person?  You want to ask them but are afraid they might say 'No' and you can't face the thought of that.  So instead you don't do whatever it takes to find out, choosing to stay in the dark and at least not have to face that horrible feeling of rejection.  You carry on living in your comfort zone wondering what might have been.  I want to share a story with you which puts things into perspective.  This is taken from a CD produced by Dr. Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra, two of my favourite personal development experts.

Dr. Dyer's son attended his first dance at the age of 14.  His father eager to find out about how and if he had handled rejection asked him 'Did you dance with any girls?' 'Yes' came the reply. 'Did you ask any girls to dance who said 'No'?  The son thought for a moment and then said 'Yes there was one who refused'.  Dad then asked 'How did you feel about that?' 'Well, I wasn't dancing with her before I asked and I wasn't dancing with her afterwards, so nothing had changed'.

Wow, what a way to deal with rejection.  It's all about not being attached to the outcome and not taking things personally.  Stop taking life so seriously and lighten up.

So go out and ask that question!  What have you got to lose?  What could you gain?
