 Okay, first of all, if you read the entire list yesterday of what to do when you need to KEEP GOING, despite the criticism or rejection of others (even those you sometimes need and trust the most), then you get a merit badge for tenacity.  Here’s my other top 5 for overcoming adversity and moving FORWARD – despite roadblocks from rejection and criticism.

1) On the really dark days remember that you’re still alive, you still can make a difference in your life, your community, and the world at large. This round may be over, but the game ain’t over yet. Something great could happen tomorrow. 2) At the risk of ticking off everyone ever held ransom by a telemarketer, consider that every “no” actually means “maybe”—either you need to pitch in a more compelling way (explain their return on investment, success statistics, how you’ll help them crush their competitors) or you don’t have what the prospective customer needs yet. 3) Take 100 percent responsibility for your life—you are no one’s victim. This means no blaming, no complaining, no trying to change others! 4) When you’re stuck or psyched out after a failure, help others. Do some volunteer work. It’ll help you stop dwelling on negativity and will foster hope. 5) Make and post a list of your awesome qualities. I still do this today. It’s crucial to learn to boost your confidence and self-esteem.

Finally, visualize the things you want coming into your life. I like to imagine that all my goals have already been achieved on the nonphysical level. It’s my job to welcome them down to the physical realm. You can host many rejection parties, you can desensitize yourself to criticism, and still, every now and then you’ll fail. This is yet another reason why it’s great to have a mastermind group or an accountability partner or and fabulous friends. We all need to vent or brainstorm when we fail, and having a prefab failure or rejection recovery group works wonders. With practice you’ll learn to fail forward more often than not. You’ll learn to rock rejection and finesse failure.
