Some people fear rejection, and that is okay. I am also afraid of rejection. But the curiosity beat up my fear to the point I better rejected than having this emotional harness of curiosity for the rest of my life.
At first, when I tried something, I would be impulsive. I want to try as soon as possible. I want to get an instant result. So, what did I get? Of course, I failed. I am completely unaware. Is it a result that matters for me or the reason why I should get that opportunity.
I always think that when something happens that is not in my favor, it is because I am not good or not worth it enough. This has happened not just in my relationships with people but also in my long-term career.
As I get older, when I want something, I still want to try to achieve it with my own hands. And fortunately, it was acceptable for me if I were rejected because I am not that impulsive anymore. Every achievement that I want, I plan it from zero, and it always starts with why.
And my mindset changed completely. It was not because I was not good enough. The reason I was rejected was because I was not suitable for that chance, or it was not the best for me. When I put this mindset in my mind, even though I failed, I am not afraid to try again.
Hence, I still have so many dreams that I want to achieve. I am not afraid of rejection anymore, and it is okay if I fail over and over again. I will try again until the last breath!
