    I've been rejected by women all my life. I'm now 75. Rejection saps confidence, induces resentment, jealousy, bitterness, low self esteem - and loneliness. It affects every aspect of one's life including working life - as it did in my case. I feel worthless. For me it's been the worst thing in my life - and I've had cancer!

    I really needed this today. Thank you so much. I did not know details of Emmy lous romantic love, her music still blessed my life. I will be music. And stop depending on what become the painful immediate love betrayals in my life - for validation to go on. God is puting breath in me, there must still be a reason he sees. But to my credit, it’s hard find purpose when love is missing and your bucket (receiving) at older ages, is still empty from being kicked over. Thank you for these words.

    I never thought of this strategy to adopt except for going to counselling. I would rather practice radical acceptance on what others think of me right now. That is how I define embracing rejection for myself. Which is not to say that I would reject someone for rejecting me altogether when they in turn instead need me the most. Sure helped save time while I was doing door to door selling too. Helped me avoid getting hurt in a few confrontations too.

    Choosing courage, passion and determination over fear, doubt and insecurity. Stop attaching self worth to the outcome of events. Struggle with mental health and you need professional help along the way don’t ever feel bad about that. Change your relationship with rejection. Excellent message Farrah, thank you. P.S. if you can do a video with a similar message for kids it could be life changing.

      We all have those “was was” stories from our past. Many of us could write at least one book. Leave those wases in the past. Seek therapy if you must. Find your purpose then give it away. God Bless PS Don’t let anyone take your purpose away from you.

    How selfish and cruel one could be to sell the story of abandoning her father at the time of need as “inspirational” story? And it is so sad most of comments found it inspirational.

    There is no power in “embracing rejection”. It’s just depressing overall and shows how unwanted you are by women or men, wether it’s because of your looks, money, or social status. Some people have it all, and some have nothing at all no matter what they do.

      Yep, sounds like a buzzfeed title attempting to use Mr. Miyaga/Steven Stegall martial arts mental gymnastics to change your outlook on life from one tedxtalk. I would recommend reading The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. You might also just look up the actual lecture as I believe it is on TH-cam.

    Everybody has a story to tell and I don’t think hers is all that special. Also, Bobby Kennedy Jr. went from doing fantastic and important environment saving work to being an anti-vax crack pot and conspiracy theorist. He writes crazy stuff on a subject on which he has zero expertise, which is always sad to see. I wouldn’t count chauffeuring him around as a great moment in anyone’s career.
