A motivational talk from a windy Bournemouth coast on handling rejection. The speaker shares Brian Tracy's advice on resilience and persistence, encouraging you to keep pushing toward your goals despite setbacks.
Hi there. Welcome to this week's inspirational quote. This week's quote comes from Brian Tracy who was born in Canada and now resides in San Diego. And he's well known for one of the best self help writers of our time, having written over 40 books and audio programs as well. And Brian Tracy's quote is if rejection destroys your self esteem, you're letting others hold you as an emotional hostage. Now what does that mean in today's world? Well, I guess it means that life is never sort of a straight trajectory to success. We're bound to get no's quite often in our lifetime from potential future partners if you're single, and to potential no's clients that you're trying to convince of your products and services. So no is part of the journey. And actually if you were to let those rejections, those nos put you down and stop you from taking the next step towards achieving your goals and your dreams, whether that's personally or professionally, you're letting others rule your life. And I think that's what he's saying is that don't allow other people to rule your and govern your world. So think about it as your next no is one step closer to the next yes. And it's a bit like a lot of the quotes that I've already shared with you so far in this series from my book Built for Greatness and that is that it's not about getting knocked down because that's going to happen in life constantly for all of us. It's about dusting yourself up and getting up and having another go and taking the next step and then the next step towards your goals. So I hope you've enjoyed this week's quote from a very windy, blustery coastal Bournemouth and I look forward to sharing next week's quote with you when we get there. So have a great week. Bye for now.
