Rejection hurts. But it doesn’t hurt as much as giving up on yourself.
On this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Benny Blanco shares a powerful mindset shift that will help you stop letting rejection, failure, and self-doubt keep you from going after what you want.
@bennyblanco is a 12-time Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer with 29 #1 hits, and his advice about rejection is something everyone needs to hear.
Yes, rejection hurts. It's disappointing. It's uncomfortable. It might sting for a while.
But it's probably not the life-ending event your mind is making it out to be.
The bigger problem is letting that rejection convince you to stop trying.
Anything worth having is going to require work. You're going to fail. You're going to hit obstacles. You're going to have moments when you want to quit.
Don't.
Because the second you quit, you open the door for someone else to go after the thing you want.
