Don’t Let Your Fear Of Rejection Keep You Stuck!
By Mark Webb
Many people are
afraid to say and do what is best for themselves
out of a fear of rejection and abandonment.
If you are
sacrificing who you are to hold your
relationship together or to keep others from
disapproving of you, then you are leading a
lonely life. If these people truly care
about you, they will want you to achieve
success in your life.
I have seen so
many individuals give up hobbies, career goals
and other areas of interest to gain the approval
of their partner and/or their parents. These
individuals create a limitation for themselves.
Because they are not pursuing what is important
to them, they end up feeling very empty inside.
This emptiness is a form of loneliness and it
leads to a slow death of the human spirit.
When you lead your
life according to your God-given potential, you
begin to experience a freedom like you would
never believe. Your step becomes swifter, you
breathe a little deeper and you stand taller.
You will feel a sense of personal power.
Thoughts will become more solution-oriented in
your view toward the challenges of life.
15 Strategies To
Help Unleash Your Full Potential
1.
Decide to be the best that you can be.
2.
Learn to see your positive qualities. Make
a list of 20 positive traits that you have.
3.

people.
4.
Limit the amount of time you spend with
negative people.
5.
Give and receive compliments.
6.

yourself so seriously.
8.

9.

11. Seek
outstanding role models. They can teach you
how to speed up the learning process.
12. Dare
to be unpopular.
13. Remind
yourself daily that you are striving to be
your best.
14. Wake

15. Give
yourself positive messages such as “I
can” and “I will”.
Loneliness can
feel crippling at times. The hopelessness and
helplessness of loneliness will dissipate once
you seek the truth that is within you. So ask
yourself, what is truly important to me? What
am I getting out of my present lifestyle? What
would I have to give up if I really moved toward
my dreams? What would I gain if I did so?
Remember, you were brought into this world with
a purpose. If you question your purpose, then
do yourself a favor by spending some time
reviewing these questions. You can be loved and
accepted for who you are.
