Dear Friends,
I recently read about an author who once sent her writing to a popular magazine.She had enclosed a self addressed envelope. She was so sure she is going to be rejected. When the mail came back from the magazine containing her script, she didn't open it and tossed it away. And didn't attempt to write again.
Five years later while vacating the room she found the parcel and opened it .She was surprised to see along with her script was a small note saying -"Your writing was good,could you please add some more quotes and send it back to us immediately, we want to publish it."
That shock I hope you can imagine. Not only she doubted herself but she didn't write for five years thinking she is not good at it. If only she had opened it that day!
Many of us do this. We miss all the good opportunities "assuming" we are not good enough.How many out there are good singers but only you are aware of that fact. How many were dancers in school, but never attempted in college thinking you are not good enough. How many have good business ideas, that you are afraid of sharing thinking people wont understand. How many are capable of being a good movie director ,but stop thinking because it is not practically feasible.
We all have the unique talent. Eg: Have you ever tasted a food which tastes 100% exactly as your mother's?
Something you can do, may be only you can do it that way.May be its meant for you to do it.
In our day-to-day life we may be doing something far far away from our dreams. May be we dont even have the time to try. But that's okay. You dont have to leave everything you have for your dreams and wishes.But you can take little steps everyday. It will make you feel good.
Doing something you like is like being with someone you love, even if it is a for a less time it will always feel great.
Isn't life too short to not try anything now?
Don't listen to "What if I Fail?" "There are so many people better than me" "People are going to laugh at me"
Well if they laugh at you,its a good thing. Laughter is good for health you know.You too laugh along with them and then give your best shot.
I don't know if I will become a great writer in future.To be honest I don't even know how many will actually read this . But I will go to sleep with satisfaction that I keep trying ! :)
Sweethearts do something. Its okay to be rejected.Even if you fail, you will be happy that you atleast tried.
Make sure you atleast TRY :)
Love,
BSA.
P.S : Fear of rejection is worse than the rejection itself.
