Whenever we risk being ourselves, we risk rejection. I don’t think we ever get wholly comfortable with the feeling of being judged and rejected by another, but without taking these we also never discover all that we can be or experience.

Getting uncomfortable with rejection is an important personal goal. If we can’t accept that “we can’t please all the people all the time” — inadvertently we keep ourselves stuck in approval mode. 

Having been a self-employed entrepreneur for the majority of my life with plenty of good times and bad, I can share three personal realizations: 1) Not much happens if we are worried about seeking everyone’s approval before we risk taking action towards something we really want to try.  2) When we start seeking approval, what we are actually doing is taking an “opinion poll.” There is absolutely no guarantee that anyone’s opinion may be better than our own. Yes, others may have more experiences or different perspectives than us— so it is valuable to listen. But the ultimate choice to risk it or not is ours. 3) Nobody’s crystal ball can predict our futures better than our own. In fact, I’ve found crystal balls, to be quite useless. Instead it’s our belief coupled with a plan of action that seems to predict the best outcomes.

On that note, I’m still planning to make Silver Disobedience® the largest collective consciousness movement. So, even though I’m here everyday, if you haven’t yet picked up a copy of my book, The Silver Disobedience Playbook (link here or search Amazon) I really hope you will consider doing so. Now, go risk rocking your world!
