In my last article I shared with you that 99.9999 percent of people, carry a deep-seated fear of rejection.
In this article I will show you the reason why understanding the fear of rejection is relevant to you when it comes to being in the flow of affluence and creating wealth in your life in such a way that it is not only significant but also lasting.
Choosing Authenticity Over Approval
So lets start by giving it to you straight: Until you make a shift to thinking, feeling, and behaving in ways that are independent of the need to please others, you will never truly embrace following your heart and soul’s passion, which is the key to tapping into your unique value. (Now, mentally hold onto those two words “unique value” because we will be addressing why those two words are pivotal to whether you are in or out of the flow of affluence.)
Furthermore, if you do not develop the kind of independence I’m referring to, you can be pretty certain that true wealth will also evade you. Don’t get me wrong. I am not suggesting that you become some thoughtless “a-hole” who doesn’t care about anyone.
No, this is about understanding that when you begin to follow your path, recognize your unique value, and make decisions based on that, money and wealth will flow to you. Once this begins to happen, you can also be fairly certain that you will, to put it plain and simple, begin to piss some folks off. I’ll get into the why, in a little while.
As I’m sure you are beginning to see, if you don’t move past the fear of rejection, getting what you really want will be impossible because, as the saying goes, you can’t please all the people all the time.
Being fixated on doing whatever it takes to not get rejected is nothing more than trying to please all the people all the time, with one exception; the one person you aren’t pleasing—YOU!
Needless to say, it is crucial that you begin to destroy your fear of rejection. So how do you do that? Well, strangely enough you already know how, at least in some small way. It has to do with focusing your attention.When you are absolutely focused on what you are doing and how you are feeling while you are doing it, what others think doesn’t matter. You no longer care if they are accepting or rejecting you.
By becoming lost in what you are doing, by becoming completely engrossed, there is often the sense that what others think about you or your work just isn’t important anymore. At that point you are authentically flowing from a place of expressing your unique value set.
