"You only want to play with people who want to play with you..." This really hit me, because you can not force relationships to work...and if you value yourself and worth first, then it doesn't matter what other people say or do...because you will always walk in your greatness...Now that was a word! Thanks...
I've come back to your amazing motivation and Spiritual support. Bless you and thank you for being. My Aha moment is remembering the saying "man's rejection is God's protection " and to reach out to the difficult person and not just be with those who like me as I'm constantly looking for validation from others not accepting me. My elderst son Andre persevered being in my life when his siblings turned away from me as their mother. He taught me what your message was and still is today when I listened to you 6years ago and didn't get it. Now in 2024 I heard your lesson and understand it. Rather late then never. Not sure if you will ever reader see this. Thank you and bless you from a grateful grandmother from Australia Victoria.
I have repeated your grandmothers “man’s rejection is God’s protection” so many times not only to myself but others when they experience rejection for the last several years now. I was so blessed when I heard it for the first time from you.
I have had to sit in my darkness. I cried. I felt anger. I felt alone and confused, but i stayed in it. Not letting anything distract me. This happened a few times during my transition(break up). Now im learning so much about the woman i am. Thank you for that.
Hey Lisa, my aha moment, showing kindness to my emotionally abusive husband (whom I’ve left), while he’s incredibly cold towards me, to not let his behaviour affect how I feel about myself, my value. Love you Lisa!
My ah ha was when Lisa said walking into room already accepted and not waiting for others to accept me. I've been a lifelong people pleaser trying to gain acceptance. I realized it aint gonna happen no matter what I do I need to love and accept me.
Lisa, Rejection has always been my thing. It's the thing that hurts the most and when it happens I roll up in a ball in a corner until I can peek my head out again or I get angry and lash-out. You are right, I'm going to have to listen to this over and over again to wrap my mind around it. I need this, I want to learn everything about this. These words are life to me. Thank you. OMG!
I woke up today struggling with a friendship I had to move away from because of the rejection and disrespect I experienced. That gave me the opportunity to accept and respect myself inspite of all.
Wow! Just WOW! I’ve been watching “The Secret” for two days straight nonstop... absorbing every single word and something told me to look you up. And WOW! Just... WOW. You say you’re not religious but the words you speak are biblical. Thanks for your obedience.
Lisa, my sister from a different mister... thank you. After reading your book, Abundance Now, I began to view myself differently. For years, I've been preaching "Self Love" but still I didn't fully get it. Past rejections made me doubt myself, and second guess my talents, my abilities, and what I was meant to accomplish. Proudly I would tell others and myself that I am not afraid of rejection, however, secretly I was afraid of how I responded to it. Yes, I am a get back up and keep it moving kind of woman but sometimes it takes much longer to get back up. And while I'm down, the inner thoughts are worst than anything any other person could ever tell me. However after reading your book and hearing you speak on this subject, I am now ready for when rejection strikes again. I am more confident that I will bounce back with style and grace. #BOL
Yes yes sis! You will definitely bounce back every time! I am so happy that my book and teachings are helping you and glad to see you putting in the work! I believe in you! Be blessed.
Yesterday I experienced the feeling of not being excepted by my family. This is an ongoing covert situation where I am not invited to parties or events. Whenever I ask why the answer is "we did not think you wanted to go". I prayed about it and God spoke the same message. "love yourself regardless of who shows you love. "be able to work with people who are difficult to be around" and " be a light in the darkness". God always provides confirmation. Thank you.
Yes "I only want to play with people who wants to play with me," I never thought of it that way because I'm always searching for validation and when I run across those who doesn't share my vision I internalize it and think there's something wrong with me. So long as I like me and know what my vision for myself is, I am better prepared to handle rejection which I don't see as a bad thing anymore because it's just Gods way of protecting me and driving me in the vision he sees better fit for me. Thanks Lisa your the best! P.S I love your hair it really brings out a beautiful glow in the tonality of your skin. And red is your color honey!
Lis Ozonder It gets easier as it is practiced more. I am at the beginning and am excited about accepting who I am no matter where I am not even a thought.
This is exactly what I have been thinking about this week! I am slowly more able to see rejection as bringing me closer to accepting myself and also helping me find the people who I DO want to partner with--I am appreciating how rejection helps me find my true path and not waste time on those who don't relate to me right now. Rejection doesn't usually feel good, except when I see it as a quick reminder to just be my best self and trust that I will meet the right people at the right time. I just need to show up and 'stay in the room' for myself. Thank you Lisa!
Wow - important lesson. Need to listen to this one multiple times. Rejection is part of my life - not only in love but also in career and business and social life. I always thought I wasn't good enough but deep down I knew it wasn't that. Despite their rejection, I have to love me first and keep living fully and bringing my best in life.
I really thank God for you Lady Lisa. It's a new decade for me to practice self love & learn to accept me. As you said "I like, I love & I accept me daily, and everything else is bonus" Wow....Man's rejection is God's protection? that's deep.
To walk into a room already accepting yourself. That is amazing!! I just went to a makeup event feeling looked down on but I kept my attitude positive and enjoyed myself!! I am accepting me!!! I am enough!!
Ah, I just found you, when searching videos about rejection. Thank you! You saved my day (my bad feelings about rejections...). There are no other options of what you told. Self-love, shining and be the compassionate best version of you.
Bam! Only play with people who want to play with you! I had an experience after I stumbled upon your book...so I was prepared for the rejection!! I'm so protected!! I accept it now!! Sincere serenity!!
Lisa no matter how many times I listen to you, I am left overwhelmed. Even now as I am writing this. I get a ha ha moment each and every time. Yes, letting go of ego and letting unconditional love abide is not easy but it is worth it. And many times you/I benefit greatly from it. You know it's ego when you feel the need to prove yourself, explain yourself. It's unconditional love when you are in total acceptance of you and others no matter how difficult the situation may be at the moment. Stay focused on the positive and learn to forgive the negative. Lisa keep up the great work. You are reaching the masses and definitely, have reached me in a place sooo deep I can't describe. Love you Lisa and my fellow tribe members.
Demonstrate best version of you in whatever situation you are.... wow!!! What a statement!! When we are in a good situation, we are good with all and everything around us....but when we are in bad or uncomfortable situation, that's when we need to be or demonstrate best version of ourselves!! Thank you Lisa for these wonderful words!!!
Lisa, as I listened to you, I shouted Amen! I've been on this journey in relationships and associates. I was often frustrated, angry, and resentful but a turnaround occurred when I saw things differently and I was strengthened in character; good can come out of rejection. Thanks for all you do!!!!!!!
Bringing our best in the darkest situation and not letting circumstances or the environment dictate you. Paraphrasing. This went straight to my soul. I gather from this that we have be better and to better especially when the going tough without losing sight of who we truly are. Ouufff! I have tears in my eyes🤗🙏🏾👏🏽
I absolutely love this statement that you made: "Like yourself before anyone on Facebook does". People are fickle. One minute they like you and the next they can't stand you. We can't allow that to rock our world. We have to like who we are - flaws and all - whether or not we are acknowledged by others. I like me unapologetically. I look in the mirror and tell me who I am and that I like and love me. That is the key to overcoming rejection.
I've learned that I'm not for everybody and that's okay. As long as I like me that's more than enough. Thank you Lisa! Sometimes we forget things we already know and you're always reminding us that we are more than enough and we deserve to be loved.
This touched my heart today. I've been struggling with rejection within my social media posting to running groups due to politics and (lack of) popularity affiliations for me dictate' my joy. I let "them" get to my mind and impact my heart but recently I've been praying, listening to TD Jakes and today, came across your posting. I listened to your broadcast before; but today, this message was EXACTLY what I needed to "let it go" and move on to the business of being 'the best version of me'. My destiny is not defined by their approval. My disaster is. My destiny has everything to do with me loving me and being the best that I can be in difficult situations. I've walked steps, and ran too many miles to let "them" take me out for the count. I am going to focus on my internal JOY and walking in my trust but also standing in my trust and being comfortable if I am the "last man standing" on my island. The Lord got me! Thank you
Thank you Lisa. This has been a difficult thing for me to deal with in a "grown up"... lol... in the past my emotions have often overtaken the situation and I have placed blame, disguised as reason, on the other person because I couldn't understand why they rejected me and what i was offering and blaming them made me feel ok about myself. You have enlightened me in this video and I feel an emotional release. Now I understand that I need to detach myself from those feelings of rejection because it's not about me and it doesn't change who I am. It doesn't change who I am. Thank you.
I know I am years behind with my comment but this message is still touching. My wow moment is understanding rejection is God's protection and my environment doesn't dictate who I am. Ohh my goodness you truly are a blessing to me. Thank you lisa
Lisa, I was struggling with my Spirit this week. Thank you for your advice...”Stand In Your Power!” “Be whole and complete irregardless of your choice!” “How can I provide the best version of myself in this moment!”❤️🌺 “Walk in the room accepting the whole version of yourself!”🌺 🙏🏽
I am doing this every day Lisa. I am walking into all environments giving the best of me and bringing LOVE with me. When it gets difficult... I am giving myself a TIME OUT. Reminding myself of the I AM, I FORGIVE, I COMMIT. I check myself and go right back in... IM GROWING - Thanks to YOU and these videos Lisa. SO GRATEFUL...
Thank you for this episode. For telling me that the people in my life our bonuses to me. That when someone rejects me it isn't for the fit. That "we just don't fit," and to be grown up enough to see it in that perspective. Knowing that people are bonuses to your life there isn't a need to feel accepted or appreciated by others first, because you already accept yourself and appreciate yourself before stepping into any room. That I am only focusing on giving the best version of me, WOW! That is exactly what I need it, and also to stay powerfully in who i am as a person irregardless of those who love me or don't. Thank You, Lisa!!!!!!
Thank you Lisa. I became a follower after seeing your video on domestic violence. It spoke to me. Your words were the words I had lost...”I said yes but I meant no.” Watching through this video on handling rejection helped me see his rejection and mistreatment and abuse is not a reflection of my worth. “Mans rejection is gods protection.” Thank you Lisa.
#BOL Lisa I’m going through the darkness as we speak! Challenge accepted and will be defeated!! I’m on my Moses journey by myself to finding my strength and my own light. No more living up to Others expectations just my own!! Love you lisa💜💜🙏
#BOL... "Man's rejection is God's protection!!" I recently experienced this at work, but I realized it was actually a blessing in disguise, because it didn't fit in God's plan for my life!
Lisa I lost sleep at 4am wondering about my life .....somehow the search led me to your TH-cam. It's been 2 hours now enjoying and watching your beat iful transformation .....man this is what I have been looking for in a situation if of rejection, resentment, self pity, seeking to be loved and appreciated.....the list is endless. I will continue getting guidance from you well done.
Walk into the room already accepting yourself and everybody else will do what they want with it...love That! I needed this message, don't want to and won't get stuck where his walking away left me.
Your words are food to my soul. Iv spent so many years feeling rejected and needing validation. Your words have shown me that I do not have to play with people who don't want to play with me. In loving myself I can now see the unacceptable and have started weeding out those negative influences in my life. Thank you xx
Hello Lisa, I don’t remember what exactly brought me across your path, but I thank God for doing so. My story is so much, especially in my head, lol. From the 1st time I heard you speak I’ve been listening to you, day in and day out. There’s a change that’s taking place within and God has used you to stir it up in me. I am blessed and honored to be able to hear and listen from the God in you speak to the God in me. I am growing slowly but surely into the woman of God I have yet to meet. So much more to come...thank you for being a blessing to the world by allowing God to use your vessel as a transformation channel for others.
Lisa, This one hit right to the core! ....the value you bring to every environment you're in & opportunity to stand in your power & like yourself. You allowed me to see rejection from a different lens....true acceptance is possible!
I did this today when I felt upset about something that happened. I felt disrespected and gave the person a hard time as a result. I decided to stand in my truth and called the person to apologize for my part. That was the best I could do at that moment. Listening to you this evening helped me to applaud myself, be gentle and kind to who I am at this moment. Thank you Lisa.
I am going through Rejection from someone I loved so dearly. This video came at the right time because I needed someone like you to tell this to me. It hurts so much being rejected but this video has given me every reason to find the best version of me and to love me and to accept me. Thank you Lisa.
Lisa...Lisa....LISA!!!!!!!!!!!!! My sister in prosperity you speak to my soul!!!!! I have been stuck in an endlesss cycle of blaming myself for rejection or not playing full out in fear someone will judge me. After hearing this message I realized it was because I don’t wake up reminding myself just how special, unique, full, and most importantly ENOUGH I am! I’ve made the vow to myself to only play with those that want to play with me and just the energy I get from my upgraded circle of influence has been everything I NEEDED! Thank You So Much Queen!!!!
BOL! BOL! Thank you, Lisa! This message brought to light and helped to to acknowledge what I had been feeling about a particular relationship for a while. I couldn't put my finger on it at first, but when you said it, I immediately had an AH HA! moment. I am that person that had the need to be loved, validated, and most of all my perceived idea of what could have happened with me and him (this was the hang-up right here). When I heard you speak about the perceived idea. . ., it spoke to my spirit. I acknowledged it out loud and immediately felt the weights fall off. Keep doing whatcha doing, Sister from another mister. I appreciate you!
Thank you so much , i found you at a stage in my life where i really needed your help. After having faced my rejections I have realised it is always about the other person,it is never about you. It is something that the person cannot accept about you, but you still got to love yourself.
Rejection....abandonment has been a constant struggle to overcome in my life. Going thru it now, this message was so on point at such the right time!!! My pastor spoke about turning the other cheek, and how God said "I said YOU turn the other cheek" this is not your fight it is My fight let Me fight that fight. Know that I love you!!
Lisa Nichols you are truly angel to me...Just want to say I really look up to you as a person. I love how passionately outgoing you are and I'm inspire to let to come out of my shell. I know God has given me purpose and I would love to be rid of my timid ways and obey my calling. Listening to you really helps motivate my internally but I want to show it externally and that's where I get stuck. I plan on listen to more of you and Tony Robbins as well...i truly love people like you...stay blessed
Bless you Lisa you've helped me to understand rejection and now I'm going to visit my estranged daughter and show my authentic Love. Your lessons are profound. Grateful mum.
Mrs. Lisa this message really helped me. Rejection is a major flaw in my life. By watching this episode, I can walk with my head held high and accept who I am. Thank you so much!
Hi Ms. Lisa Nichols, I am taking you up on your challenge this is where I am. Of course I am a recovering people pleaser. Just recently I reconnected with some high school classmate and I must say we are in different places in our lives. I found myself getting angry and never wanting to see or even speak to this people again. That is not who I am so I sucked it up and continue to have dialogue with them in-spite of all the underhanded remarks and personal references that were made. So I thank you because it is my desire to bring healing and awareness to the soul of mankind. Thanks again.
My business proposal to a potential prospect was just rejected a few minutes before watching this video. I am grateful to have stumbled upon this video that has actually picked me up from my slump, and has reminded me of my true potential. Thank you, Lisa. I appreciate you!
It never ceases to amaze me that this show always gives me just what I need to hear, right when I need to hear it. Right now I am living through an expirence of learning how to love the difficult to love. I am learning how to show and shine my light, while looking at another who is living in shadow. This situation is teaching me how to access the best version of myself in this experience. I am finding my self-acceptance, my gratitude and my compassion, in an environment where there is shadow, darkness, anger and am allowing compassion, forgiveness and love to flow into that environment through me! I am so grateful to have heard this today. It helped me to remember that I am doing the right thing and am only growing stronger by doing so. Thank you Lisa!
Thank you for another amazing message. Crazy how we go through life ripping and running, then turn around and realize that we haven't been pouring into ourselves enough for us to keep on going. It's easier to shift blame or emotional strife instead of staring in the mirror and pouring into yourself first. When we do that, we won't have to shift blame. This is so good Lisa! Thank you.
Aloha Lisa & thank you for sharing your broken heart so I could rescue mine. I am crying and crying AND CRYING in compassion because I CAN FEEL IN MY OWN HEART, MIND, BODY & SOUL the broken glass you had to crawl over during your huge betrayal and in recognition of what I need to do for me for my betrayals. I would love to be blessed like you by a son, family member or friend who could simply hold space while I have the complete meltdown, purge and reset experience. I am sure you tell your son every day how beautiful and special he is. For me, please tell him I THANK HIM for being my surrogate through you and for you so you BOTH could give this precious gift to me. I never really gave myself time to sit on the side of the mountain to feel and walk through my pain. I have been frozen, because I WAS SO AFRAID of reacting, yet I kept in motion throwing myself over one cliff after another in my search for relief. I didn't have the tools to walk myself through the journey alone though I searched for DECADES. I couldn't find any playmates as devoted to me as I was to them, and in the last few weeks, I finally got too tired to chase anymore down. You see, I dove deeply into every worthy process I came across during those decades from every self help book, program, and spiritual practice I could get my hands on, and I was always offering myself up as skilled, non-judgemental but discerning support while looking for genuine souls to grow with. You know how many will SAY they were "in" but behaved like it was a one way street, a dead end street or a stick to beat me with when I needed a kind ear or a hand up? I didn't just stick my pinky or little toe in, I DEDICATED myself to putting these things into practice and to finding my village, tribe or family. You know what I mean? Thank you for reaffirming for me to hold out for those who DO WANT TO PLAY BIG WITH ME!!! And it HAS BEEN LONELY for a long time. For the first time ever, I terminated an abusive "friendship" I had off & on - at her whim -- for nearly a decade. Walking away nearly 1 1/2 years ago was one of the kindest things I have ever done for me, and I honestly haven't regretted it. I have a huge people pleaser and server mentality, so this continues to surprise and delight me. In the midst of that searching & spending (couldn't find good help for affordable or like exchange), I even dug into my IRA believing I was investing that small fortune I could not afford into attending a spiritual University in India a couple of times. Yes, I was that desperate to be free of the pain and stuckness, and that eager to use my pain to help others avoid suffering, too. In the years since, I even tried several therapists who simply dumped me after a few sessions because they said I was a "liability" and needed more help than they were willing to provide. Yes, you know a "liability", because I was just this side of suicidal but clinging to survival, because deep, deep, deep down I knew I was worth it even if they didn't? Despite all that, I ended up more broke & broken, so I spent 9 months in a homeless shelter I only recently escaped from. For the last week Jessie, your financial manager, has been patiently working with me to get the funds in my debit card to clear from some sort of holdup with your bank so I can enroll on your campus for your Speak & Write for Ultimate Impact course. I am eager to see how it will come together for me to be at your workshop in Florida, because I plan to be there even if I have to sleep in my car for the entire conference! LOL! I just walked into the living room to grab my Lisa Nichols notebook, so I could write out the correct name of the program Jessie already gave me enrollment in, and there you were - larger than life - on my tv. I actually asked out loud, "Lisa, what are you doing here?" because I was so surprised that YOU WOULD SHOW UP FOR ME in my own home. Plus, I SWEAR I have not touched my tv yet today, and it is almost noon. But there you were, Lisa, on TH-cam finishing a talk that I had been watching until 2am then paused to try and get some sleep in. I'll take that blessing, THANK YOU! I DID switch to you on my laptop while in my bedroom since the online church broadcast didn't work this morning at 8am - that tribe is in TX while I am here in CO. I like to start my day off with positivity and God. So if no JGLM, then you were my next best friend! Then here you were heroically, beautifully and authentically sharing a very real and very recent hurt. Lisa, I am SO SORRY you had to go through that betrayal. I ache for you, I REALLY do. I have the same doe in the headlight experience with cruelty and betrayal, and I have been accused of living in a castle in the sky MANY times when it comes to "THE REAL WORLD". Yet, your sharing the detail of the depth of financial cost, time cost and emotional devastation helped me so much! Oh, now I AM CRYING AGAIN. Instead of looking AT the people and the betrayals, I have been running around these people trying to please them AND NOT FOCUS on the BETRAYALS. I have run my joy, my dignity, myself and my life into the manure trying to run away from the TRUTH of the pain, the real SOURCE and PUNCH of the pain all while trying to figure out how to stop the damage and ongoing betrayals. Well, now I am sitting, and I am feeling, and I am crying because of your heroism. Now I have the consciousness and example from you to REALLY look at what happened and is happening so it WILL NOT CONTINUE HAPPENING! I'll start with it no longer being absorbed by me. After I get stronger, so that I am using my story for fuel and standing on top of it verses being immersed in it, THEN I will see what can be done to stop it from continuing to wreck the lives of others. Along the way, also thanks to your authentic sharing and examples, Lisa, I will embrace doing what I can to help others on my way to greater greatness. I kept buying into the myth everyone else around me has been shoving my way so that I believed I had to have TOTAL LIFE MASTERY before I could begin radically supporting others. I kept waiting and holding back thinking I didn't have this, that or really ANY area of my life mastered, so how could I help anyone? They were expecting me to be perfect and would ACCUSE ME OF BEING PERFECT while I was offering what knowledge, help and love I genuinely had. Mmm. So many lights going off now. This is like the liquid sunshine we get in Hawaii, where I am from: the sun shines brightly in the sky while a steady sprinkling of rain falls. I am like that Hawaiian liquid sunshine as I cry and feel my brilliance burst through at the same time. Lisa, my love, I am so GLAD you had the courage and strength to walk this path and AUTHENTICALLY SHARE. I have gotten so tired of the perfect images lightly sprinkled with bs, salesy talk or deflection. Tired of people USING their story to ENROLL or SELL vs to actually HELP. This is a BEAUTIFUL difference. I realize it has been over a year since this video was posted. I am in faith it will be read by everyone it will serve, and everyone who can reach out in service to me. I am not a facebook, email kind of fan, but you can call me late morning through say 9pm MST or text me to set up a call at 720-341-5970 so we can be real & meet heart-to-heart. God bless you! Aloha, Tame' PS. Now it's almost 1pm, but I am going to get up, make some tea Earl Grey tea with cream & a breakfast THEN come back to look fully upon the betrayals and go through my meltdown, purge & reset.
Lisa Nichols Good Day Ms. Lisa Nichols. I pray that all is well. Lately, I have been watching your videos. I love them soooooooooooooo much! I want to learn more, to be more. For many years I've wanted a mentor. I've looked to so many people for it. I've listened to Iyanla Vanzant, Tony Robinson, Michael Beck...I mean the list goes on. Nonetheless, I have NEVER EVER had a mentor whom I can sit down with one on one, face to face and do some real work. Is it too much to ask if that person can be you?
I can't stress how much I needed to hear this. My work environment is toxic and it challenges me to show up and show out EVERY day. My supervisor.....sigh....let's just say I started as an employee, showing up mentally as a supervisor, reporting to a supervisor that acknowledged my strengths and was threatened by my greatness and integrity. I challenged him to be a better person inadvertently with simply just being who I am. So, it went from him complimenting my work ethic, to being challenged by it. He walks by me daily, no words...not a good morning, good job....crickets. But, takes my group suggestions and uses them for his own credit later on. It's a daily fight and it almost made me seek other options of employment....but, I refuse to give him that satisfaction. Thank you, for downloading wisdom into my spirit to keep pushing and learning how to except rejection. 😊👊🏼🙏.
Thank u so much. Rejection has been a huge barrier for me all my life. My mom has been on drugs since I was young, my dad left shortly after and never looked bk, my marriage after 12 yrs ended in abuse, every relationship I've been in ends leaving me feeling abandoned and I have 2 out of 4 children that are going totally opposite in life than what I taught them...... Point being I kno rejection very well. I'm 37 and reinventing myself and I realized REJECTION is my main fear and scar. Listening to your msg helped me to begin to look directly at this truth of my life. I am even now slick excited to except your challenge to face my fear of it and begin to control my mindset as I'm being rejected or to even not consider whether I'm rejected or not. May God continue to bless u. U have a beautiful gift and I'm so glad we have your existence. 💯💜😊
Yes... Yes... the only way compassion will enter is through me! Lisa.. I can't express my gratitude to you. Your voice elevates my spirit and uplift me whether I need motivation or whether I'm on top of my life. Since I heard your talk at Costa Rica in 2015, I wrote down all the questions you posed in my journal, I took a quite time in nature and answered every single one, I gained clarity and my life transformed. I said 'yes, YES' to my fears, to the taxes I expect to pay and to the seasons. I am not longer waiting in lines or waiting for approvals.. I focus on harmony not balance. Lisa you're a bless... truly thank you! Waiting for the 22nd and so excited to join you from Cairo, Egypt!
This message, among others, has transformed my life at work in customer service. I no longer get drawn in to negative attitudes of others or take the bait when they want to fight. When my smile and warm greeting is met by something totally opposite, I try to keep my feelings out of it and i empathize. They've obviously been dealing or not dealing with pain beyond our encounter. I have unwaivering faith in myself. What I've come through has prepared me to handle just about anything. I'm seeing the big picture and playing the long game. I forgive those that have hurt me deeply and I release the pain so I dont pass it on. One small piece of rejection wont disturb this tower I stand on. #Non-negotiable
I am glad that you acknowledged how difficult being that light is. I am currently going through a transition in life, in which I had to move past bitterness and resentment. It took a lot of mental cleansing, but I am empowered by my strength to overcome.
Ooh my God i really can't explain how much you have impercted me....you've helped me change my way of seeing things and seeing them positively. You are truly God sent to my life....i can truely love myself and accept myself back... God bless you
Lisa. I want to sincerely thank you! I am going through a really strong phase in my life. While before I find little tools and small things that will make me snap out of a tough situation, like meditation, a walk in the woods, surround myself with laughter and picking myself up. This time it seems like nothing I ever used before works now, pretty dark times, finding it hard to find the light inside of me again. I am not sleeping and first thing in the morning I'm tormented with my thoughts & worries. I have watched you before speaking and I really like your genuine, natural, human way of communicate & connect with others, so last night when I couldn't sleep I found your channel for the first time and I click in the right video and message I need it to hear. I want to thank you!!! You help me to have a bit of piece of mind last night, to have a better night... and I listen to you first thing in the morning today to have a good day. I know I have a lot of work to do on myself. But you are a window of light and sunshine, showing what the future and present could look for all of us , if we only dedicate the time to self care, self development and evolving. Lots of love from a very grateful girl. Sending many blessings your way! xxxxx
I really enjoyed this dialogue that you've shared with us. I am talking from personal experience when I say that, when I was rejected by those closest to me, I became the best version of myself. I to this day I thank them for it. I have acquired knowledge that has left those who rejected me standing still.
I absolutely love everything you said. I know who I am, but sometimes too much rejection can cause exhaustion. You reminded me what it means to be my authentic self. Thank you
I am so glad I found you. I am in therapy for years because I have anxiety and I am depressed for many many years now. And I definitely need to learn how to love myself. This is the most difficult challenge I have to fight through. Thx for your Love Lisa. Your words touched my soul.
Lisa, I am where you were years ago, your message inspired me , I am a single mother, I am tired of being broke. So thank you for the motivational speech.
I am going through difficult times, thank you for encouraging me to demonstrate the best version of myself....not to mention self acceptance. I like to add, acceptance of the difficult situation and move on...
"You're self worth is contingent on the value you're bringing into the room" Just WoW #BOL #nugget !!! Once I realized what this meant, I feel like I have all the control over my self perception! Thank You Lisa!!
"A man's rejection is God's protection!" This one sentence has hit my core. Thank you my Queen. This is my 1st time seeing you. You pop up on my home feed and I watched an older video 1st. This is now my 3rd in a row, and wow! Thank you! I so needed to hear this. In more ways then one.
Thank you Lisa for the reminder … the hardest part is remembering everyday what my why is … and after listening to your video i remembered that I did wake up today and thought I do like myself ❤
Lisa, my sister Lisa... thank you for your truth. You have hit the nail ...on the head.you have articulated what my jive is, my truth matter, and the surrender of each challenge in my situation, We have choice, a ripple effect of personal choice to leave this rejection. I am dancing and rejoicing in my own bravery, it is so worth it. I want to thank you for your beautiful guidance and strength. it takes one to know one, this earth-shattering rejection is hard however when it comes to the truth of self-love. I thank you for this clarity
I needed to hear this! So many times I choose to be the peacemaker and it’s uncomfortable but necessary in the moment. Today listening to your podcast, I realized by choosing to keep the peace I’m really stepping into my own power. And even tho it’s uncomfortable, it’s the higher road and “best version of myself” that shows up! This realization made me feel very emotional but also very happy, peaceful and grateful! Thank you so so much for your wonderful words!!💜
Girl, I know that these truths are apart of my soul. I interprete as you say but not sure if I could have articulated it. I will remember and practice letting the anointing lead me as i enter the room and share the love, compassion and forgiveness that i strive to share. Thanks again for sharing. All the Best to you and yours.
Listening 👂 to You gives me so much hope, it also validates what my journey has been so far. I’m a teacher 👩🏫, I’ve got to rehearse being as confident as I can be in front of my students, I keep asking myself why I feel this way and why some atmospheres are easier than others for me. Self acceptance is a big one for me I’ll keep trying until I break this pattern that seems to limit my well being. Love ❤️ u Lisa
I always love your grandmother's wise words! "Baby, man's rejection is God's protection" ♡♡♡♡♡
" Don't let your environment dictate you happiness" yes, YES.
You literally teach me all the lessons I missed in my pre-teen years! It’s NEVER too late to learn how to create the best version of yourself.
"You only want to play with people who want to play with you..." This really hit me, because you can not force relationships to work...and if you value yourself and worth first, then it doesn't matter what other people say or do...because you will always walk in your greatness...Now that was a word! Thanks...
I've come back to your amazing motivation and Spiritual support. Bless you and thank you for being. My Aha moment is remembering the saying "man's rejection is God's protection " and to reach out to the difficult person and not just be with those who like me as I'm constantly looking for validation from others not accepting me. My elderst son Andre persevered being in my life when his siblings turned away from me as their mother. He taught me what your message was and still is today when I listened to you 6years ago and didn't get it. Now in 2024 I heard your lesson and understand it. Rather late then never. Not sure if you will ever reader see this. Thank you and bless you from a grateful grandmother from Australia Victoria.
That really hit home..."Man's rejection is God's protection." Thanks!!
I have repeated your grandmothers “man’s rejection is God’s protection” so many times not only to myself but others when they experience rejection for the last several years now. I was so blessed when I heard it for the first time from you.
My highlight on this message is "Do not let the environment dictate your happiness"
People's rejection is Gods' protection..... I have been truly blessed by this... Thank you.
What a blessing you are. God is truly using you. I did send this to my girllllls. Man's rejection is God's PROTECTION. wowwwwwwwwwww.
I have had to sit in my darkness. I cried. I felt anger. I felt alone and confused, but i stayed in it. Not letting anything distract me. This happened a few times during my transition(break up). Now im learning so much about the woman i am. Thank you for that.
Hey Lisa, my aha moment, showing kindness to my emotionally abusive husband (whom I’ve left), while he’s incredibly cold towards me, to not let his behaviour affect how I feel about myself, my value. Love you Lisa!
♥️♥️♥️♥️
My ah ha was when Lisa said walking into room already accepted and not waiting for others to accept me. I've been a lifelong people pleaser trying to gain acceptance. I realized it aint gonna happen no matter what I do I need to love and accept me.
Lisa, Rejection has always been my thing. It's the thing that hurts the most and when it happens I roll up in a ball in a corner until I can peek my head out again or I get angry and lash-out. You are right, I'm going to have to listen to this over and over again to wrap my mind around it. I need this, I want to learn everything about this. These words are life to me. Thank you. OMG!
Amen Michelle! Same story over here. I will also listen to this many times.
I woke up today struggling with a friendship I had to move away from because of the rejection and disrespect I experienced. That gave me the opportunity to accept and respect myself inspite of all.
I feel you ..same thing I've done....
I like Grandma's comment. Your words are too much for one listening. I need to hear them again; I'm saving this to get it more into my heart. Thanks.
Wow! Just WOW! I’ve been watching “The Secret” for two days straight nonstop... absorbing every single word and something told me to look you up. And WOW! Just... WOW. You say you’re not religious but the words you speak are biblical. Thanks for your obedience.
Lisa, my sister from a different mister... thank you. After reading your book, Abundance Now, I began to view myself differently. For years, I've been preaching "Self Love" but still I didn't fully get it.
Past rejections made me doubt myself, and second guess my talents, my abilities, and what I was meant to accomplish. Proudly I would tell others and myself that I am not afraid of rejection, however, secretly I was afraid of how I responded to it. Yes, I am a get back up and keep it moving kind of woman but sometimes it takes much longer to get back up. And while I'm down, the inner thoughts are worst than anything any other person could ever tell me. However after reading your book and hearing you speak on this subject, I am now ready for when rejection strikes again. I am more confident that I will bounce back with style and grace. #BOL
Thank you so much i LOVE IT
Yes yes sis! You will definitely bounce back every time! I am so happy that my book and teachings are helping you and glad to see you putting in the work! I believe in you! Be blessed.
Yes, yes!!!!
“Play with people who wants to play with you” .. my favorite 👏🏽❤️
Yesterday I experienced the feeling of not being excepted by my family. This is an ongoing covert situation where I am not invited to parties or events. Whenever I ask why the answer is "we did not think you wanted to go". I prayed about it and God spoke the same message. "love yourself regardless of who shows you love. "be able to work with people who are difficult to be around" and " be a light in the darkness". God always provides confirmation. Thank you.
Yes "I only want to play with people who wants to play with me," I never thought of it that way because I'm always searching for validation and when I run across those who doesn't share my vision I internalize it and think there's something wrong with me. So long as I like me and know what my vision for myself is, I am better prepared to handle rejection which I don't see as a bad thing anymore because it's just Gods way of protecting me and driving me in the vision he sees better fit for me. Thanks Lisa your the best! P.S I love your hair it really brings out a beautiful glow in the tonality of your skin. And red is your color honey!
WOW
Lanette Scott 🙌🏽 Worded exceptionally sister now from another mister
Walk into a room accepting who you are....Know your worth!
#nugget
Audrey Chatman yesss... easier said than done 😌
Lis Ozonder It gets easier as it is practiced more. I am at the beginning and am excited about accepting who I am no matter where I am not even a thought.
This is exactly what I have been thinking about this week! I am slowly more able to see rejection as bringing me closer to accepting myself and also helping me find the people who I DO want to partner with--I am appreciating how rejection helps me find my true path and not waste time on those who don't relate to me right now. Rejection doesn't usually feel good, except when I see it as a quick reminder to just be my best self and trust that I will meet the right people at the right time. I just need to show up and 'stay in the room' for myself. Thank you Lisa!
Wow - important lesson. Need to listen to this one multiple times. Rejection is part of my life - not only in love but also in career and business and social life. I always thought I wasn't good enough but deep down I knew it wasn't that. Despite their rejection, I have to love me first and keep living fully and bringing my best in life.
I really thank God for you Lady Lisa. It's a new decade for me to practice self love & learn to accept me.
As you said "I like, I love & I accept me daily, and everything else is bonus" Wow....Man's
rejection is God's protection? that's deep.
To walk into a room already accepting yourself. That is amazing!! I just went to a makeup event feeling looked down on but I kept my attitude positive and enjoyed myself!! I am accepting me!!! I am enough!!
Ah, I just found you, when searching videos about rejection. Thank you! You saved my day (my bad feelings about rejections...). There are no other options of what you told. Self-love, shining and be the compassionate best version of you.
Bam! Only play with people who want to play with you! I had an experience after I stumbled upon your book...so I was prepared for the rejection!! I'm so protected!! I accept it now!! Sincere serenity!!
Lisa no matter how many times I listen to you, I am left overwhelmed. Even now as I am writing this. I get a ha ha moment each and every time. Yes, letting go of ego and letting unconditional love abide is not easy but it is worth it. And many times you/I benefit greatly from it. You know it's ego when you feel the need to prove yourself, explain yourself. It's unconditional love when you are in total acceptance of you and others no matter how difficult the situation may be at the moment. Stay focused on the positive and learn to forgive the negative. Lisa keep up the great work. You are reaching the masses and definitely, have reached me in a place sooo deep I can't describe. Love you Lisa and my fellow tribe members.
Demonstrate best version of you in whatever situation you are.... wow!!! What a statement!! When we are in a good situation, we are good with all and everything around us....but when we are in bad or uncomfortable situation, that's when we need to be or demonstrate best version of ourselves!! Thank you Lisa for these wonderful words!!!
Thank you, Lisa! Ordering your book TODAY! Just joined a 30 day Mastermind with you last night!
Lisa, as I listened to you, I shouted Amen! I've been on this journey in relationships and associates. I was often frustrated, angry, and resentful but a turnaround occurred when I saw things differently and I was strengthened in character; good can come out of rejection. Thanks for all you do!!!!!!!
Bringing our best in the darkest situation and not letting circumstances or the environment dictate you. Paraphrasing. This went straight to my soul. I gather from this that we have be better and to better especially when the going tough without losing sight of who we truly are. Ouufff! I have tears in my eyes🤗🙏🏾👏🏽
I absolutely love this statement that you made: "Like yourself before anyone on Facebook does". People are fickle. One minute they like you and the next they can't stand you. We can't allow that to rock our world. We have to like who we are - flaws and all - whether or not we are acknowledged by others. I like me unapologetically. I look in the mirror and tell me who I am and that I like and love me. That is the key to overcoming rejection.
You just helped me finally get free of a memory from my past because of your grama's saying. 🙏🏻
The only way compassion, forgiveness and love can enter in that room ect.. Is through me. It's not easy but it's so worth it! Thank you sis
"only play with people who wish to play with you." I will take this with my for the rest of my life :) thank you!
I've learned that I'm not for everybody and that's okay. As long as I like me that's more than enough. Thank you Lisa! Sometimes we forget things we already know and you're always reminding us that we are more than enough and we deserve to be loved.
You have taken a long journey and you have arrived at yourself. wow that was mine, bless your heart L. N.
This touched my heart today. I've been struggling with rejection within my social media posting to running groups due to politics and (lack of) popularity affiliations for me dictate' my joy. I let "them" get to my mind and impact my heart but recently I've been praying, listening to TD Jakes and today, came across your posting. I listened to your broadcast before; but today, this message was EXACTLY what I needed to "let it go" and move on to the business of being 'the best version of me'. My destiny is not defined by their approval. My disaster is. My destiny has everything to do with me loving me and being the best that I can be in difficult situations. I've walked steps, and ran too many miles to let "them" take me out for the count. I am going to focus on my internal JOY and walking in my trust but also standing in my trust and being comfortable if I am the "last man standing" on my island. The Lord got me! Thank you
Thank you Lisa. This has been a difficult thing for me to deal with in a "grown up"... lol... in the past my emotions have often overtaken the situation and I have placed blame, disguised as reason, on the other person because I couldn't understand why they rejected me and what i was offering and blaming them made me feel ok about myself. You have enlightened me in this video and I feel an emotional release. Now I understand that I need to detach myself from those feelings of rejection because it's not about me and it doesn't change who I am. It doesn't change who I am. Thank you.
I know I am years behind with my comment but this message is still touching. My wow moment is understanding rejection is God's protection and my environment doesn't dictate who I am. Ohh my goodness you truly are a blessing to me. Thank you lisa
Lisa, I was struggling with my Spirit this week. Thank you for your advice...”Stand In Your Power!” “Be whole and complete irregardless of your choice!” “How can I provide the best version of myself in this moment!”❤️🌺 “Walk in the room accepting the whole version of yourself!”🌺 🙏🏽
I am doing this every day Lisa. I am walking into all environments giving the best of me and bringing LOVE with me. When it gets difficult... I am giving myself a TIME OUT. Reminding myself of the I AM, I FORGIVE, I COMMIT. I check myself and go right back in... IM GROWING - Thanks to YOU and these videos Lisa. SO GRATEFUL...
Thank you for this episode. For telling me that the people in my life our bonuses to me. That when someone rejects me it isn't for the fit. That "we just don't fit," and to be grown up enough to see it in that perspective. Knowing that people are bonuses to your life there isn't a need to feel accepted or appreciated by others first, because you already accept yourself and appreciate yourself before stepping into any room. That I am only focusing on giving the best version of me, WOW! That is exactly what I need it, and also to stay powerfully in who i am as a person irregardless of those who love me or don't. Thank You, Lisa!!!!!!
Thank you Lisa. I became a follower after seeing your video on domestic violence. It spoke to me. Your words were the words I had lost...”I said yes but I meant no.” Watching through this video on handling rejection helped me see his rejection and mistreatment and abuse is not a reflection of my worth. “Mans rejection is gods protection.” Thank you Lisa.
#BOL Lisa I’m going through the darkness as we speak! Challenge accepted and will be defeated!! I’m on my Moses journey by myself to finding my strength and my own light. No more living up to Others expectations just my own!! Love you lisa💜💜🙏
Sweets B. This is so relatable. For the last 2 and half years I have felt as though I've been in exile.
everything happens for a reason.. love yourself
#BOL... "Man's rejection is God's protection!!" I recently experienced this at work, but I realized it was actually a blessing in disguise, because it didn't fit in God's plan for my life!
Marilyn E amen
Lisa I lost sleep at 4am wondering about my life .....somehow the search led me to your TH-cam. It's been 2 hours now enjoying and watching your beat iful transformation .....man this is what I have been looking for in a situation if of rejection, resentment, self pity, seeking to be loved and appreciated.....the list is endless.
I will continue getting guidance from you well done.
I'm glad I find your blog after all the hateful nasty mess I hear in my life and all the mess that is on you tube. you are a breath of fresh air
Your book , Abundance Now, has been critical to our move from the US to Mexico! We appreciate you Sis Lisa.
Omg when you broke down the reason for feeling hurt when you are rejected all I could say YES, YES. Thank you
You are the only person my son and I have now. I deeply appreciate you are here. Your light give me hope.
Walk into the room already accepting yourself and everybody else will do what they want with it...love That! I needed this message, don't want to and won't get stuck where his walking away left me.
Your words are food to my soul. Iv spent so many years feeling rejected and needing validation. Your words have shown me that I do not have to play with people who don't want to play with me. In loving myself I can now see the unacceptable and have started weeding out those negative influences in my life. Thank you xx
Hello Lisa, I don’t remember what exactly brought me across your path, but I thank God for doing so. My story is so much, especially in my head, lol. From the 1st time I heard you speak I’ve been listening to you, day in and day out. There’s a change that’s taking place within and God has used you to stir it up in me. I am blessed and honored to be able to hear and listen from the God in you speak to the God in me. I am growing slowly but surely into the woman of God I have yet to meet. So much more to come...thank you for being a blessing to the world by allowing God to use your vessel as a transformation channel for others.
You are a blessing to me dear Lisa. I really needed this. thank you. God bless you
Lisa, This one hit right to the core! ....the value you bring to every environment you're in & opportunity to stand in your power & like yourself. You allowed me to see rejection from a different lens....true acceptance is possible!
I did this today when I felt upset about something that happened. I felt disrespected and gave the person a hard time as a result. I decided to stand in my truth and called the person to apologize for my part. That was the best I could do at that moment. Listening to you this evening helped me to applaud myself, be gentle and kind to who I am at this moment. Thank you Lisa.
I am going through Rejection from someone I loved so dearly. This video came at the right time because I needed someone like you to tell this to me. It hurts so much being rejected but this video has given me every reason to find the best version of me and to love me and to accept me. Thank you Lisa.
So beautiful. Thank you. "You've taken a long journey back to you and you've arrived at yourself." 💙🌱🌳
thank you sooooo much from kenyan lady! GOD BLESS YOU
Lisa...Lisa....LISA!!!!!!!!!!!!! My sister in prosperity you speak to my soul!!!!! I have been stuck in an endlesss cycle of blaming myself for rejection or not playing full out in fear someone will judge me. After hearing this message I realized it was because I don’t wake up reminding myself just how special, unique, full, and most importantly ENOUGH I am! I’ve made the vow to myself to only play with those that want to play with me and just the energy I get from my upgraded circle of influence has been everything I NEEDED! Thank You So Much Queen!!!!
Just out of a RELATIONSHIP a month ago that wasn't self serving, and this spoke to me. Thx mama Lis... love you to life!
BOL! BOL! Thank you, Lisa! This message brought to light and helped to to acknowledge what I had been feeling about a particular relationship for a while. I couldn't put my finger on it at first, but when you said it, I immediately had an AH HA! moment. I am that person that had the need to be loved, validated, and most of all my perceived idea of what could have happened with me and him (this was the hang-up right here). When I heard you speak about the perceived idea. . ., it spoke to my spirit. I acknowledged it out loud and immediately felt the weights fall off. Keep doing whatcha doing, Sister from another mister. I appreciate you!
Thank you so much , i found you at a stage in my life where i really needed your help. After having faced my rejections I have realised it is always about the other person,it is never about you. It is something that the person cannot accept about you, but you still got to love yourself.
Rejection....abandonment has been a constant struggle to overcome in my life. Going thru it now, this message was so on point at such the right time!!! My pastor spoke about turning the other cheek, and how God said "I said YOU turn the other cheek" this is not your fight it is My fight let Me fight that fight. Know that I love you!!
This is my BOL, I needed this, im finally accepting myself all of me good and bad thank u
Lisa Nichols you are truly angel to me...Just want to say I really look up to you as a person. I love how passionately outgoing you are and I'm inspire to let to come out of my shell. I know God has given me purpose and I would love to be rid of my timid ways and obey my calling. Listening to you really helps motivate my internally but I want to show it externally and that's where I get stuck. I plan on listen to more of you and Tony Robbins as well...i truly love people like you...stay blessed
Bless you Lisa you've helped me to understand rejection and now I'm going to visit my estranged daughter and show my authentic Love. Your lessons are profound. Grateful mum.
Mrs. Lisa this message really helped me. Rejection is a major flaw in my life. By watching this episode, I can walk with my head held high and accept who I am. Thank you so much!
Hi Ms. Lisa Nichols, I am taking you up on your challenge this is where I am. Of course I am a recovering people pleaser. Just recently I reconnected with some high school classmate and I must say we are in different places in our lives. I found myself getting angry and never wanting to see or even speak to this people again. That is not who I am so I sucked it up and continue to have dialogue with them in-spite of all the underhanded remarks and personal references that were made. So I thank you because it is my desire to bring healing and awareness to the soul of mankind. Thanks again.
My business proposal to a potential prospect was just rejected a few minutes before watching this video.
I am grateful to have stumbled upon this video that has actually picked me up from my slump, and has reminded me of my true potential. Thank you, Lisa. I appreciate you!
It never ceases to amaze me that this show always gives me just what I need to hear, right when I need to hear it.
Right now I am living through an expirence of learning how to love the difficult to love. I am learning how to show and shine my light, while looking at another who is living in shadow.
This situation is teaching me how to access the best version of myself in this experience.
I am finding my self-acceptance, my gratitude and my compassion, in an environment where there is shadow, darkness, anger and am allowing compassion, forgiveness and love to flow into that environment through me!
I am so grateful to have heard this today. It helped me to remember that I am doing the right thing and am only growing stronger by doing so.
Thank you Lisa!
Thank you for another amazing message. Crazy how we go through life ripping and running, then turn around and realize that we haven't been pouring into ourselves enough for us to keep on going. It's easier to shift blame or emotional strife instead of staring in the mirror and pouring into yourself first. When we do that, we won't have to shift blame. This is so good Lisa! Thank you.
Aloha Lisa & thank you for sharing your broken heart so I could rescue mine. I am crying and crying AND CRYING in compassion because I CAN FEEL IN MY OWN HEART, MIND, BODY & SOUL the broken glass you had to crawl over during your huge betrayal and in recognition of what I need to do for me for my betrayals. I would love to be blessed like you by a son, family member or friend who could simply hold space while I have the complete meltdown, purge and reset experience. I am sure you tell your son every day how beautiful and special he is. For me, please tell him I THANK HIM for being my surrogate through you and for you so you BOTH could give this precious gift to me.
I never really gave myself time to sit on the side of the mountain to feel and walk through my pain. I have been frozen, because I WAS SO AFRAID of reacting, yet I kept in motion throwing myself over one cliff after another in my search for relief. I didn't have the tools to walk myself through the journey alone though I searched for DECADES. I couldn't find any playmates as devoted to me as I was to them, and in the last few weeks, I finally got too tired to chase anymore down. You see, I dove deeply into every worthy process I came across during those decades from every self help book, program, and spiritual practice I could get my hands on, and I was always offering myself up as skilled, non-judgemental but discerning support while looking for genuine souls to grow with. You know how many will SAY they were "in" but behaved like it was a one way street, a dead end street or a stick to beat me with when I needed a kind ear or a hand up?
I didn't just stick my pinky or little toe in, I DEDICATED myself to putting these things into practice and to finding my village, tribe or family. You know what I mean? Thank you for reaffirming for me to hold out for those who DO WANT TO PLAY BIG WITH ME!!! And it HAS BEEN LONELY for a long time. For the first time ever, I terminated an abusive "friendship" I had off & on - at her whim -- for nearly a decade. Walking away nearly 1 1/2 years ago was one of the kindest things I have ever done for me, and I honestly haven't regretted it. I have a huge people pleaser and server mentality, so this continues to surprise and delight me.
In the midst of that searching & spending (couldn't find good help for affordable or like exchange), I even dug into my IRA believing I was investing that small fortune I could not afford into attending a spiritual University in India a couple of times. Yes, I was that desperate to be free of the pain and stuckness, and that eager to use my pain to help others avoid suffering, too. In the years since, I even tried several therapists who simply dumped me after a few sessions because they said I was a "liability" and needed more help than they were willing to provide. Yes, you know a "liability", because I was just this side of suicidal but clinging to survival, because deep, deep, deep down I knew I was worth it even if they didn't?
Despite all that, I ended up more broke & broken, so I spent 9 months in a homeless shelter I only recently escaped from. For the last week Jessie, your financial manager, has been patiently working with me to get the funds in my debit card to clear from some sort of holdup with your bank so I can enroll on your campus for your Speak & Write for Ultimate Impact course. I am eager to see how it will come together for me to be at your workshop in Florida, because I plan to be there even if I have to sleep in my car for the entire conference!
LOL! I just walked into the living room to grab my Lisa Nichols notebook, so I could write out the correct name of the program Jessie already gave me enrollment in, and there you were - larger than life - on my tv. I actually asked out loud, "Lisa, what are you doing here?" because I was so surprised that YOU WOULD SHOW UP FOR ME in my own home. Plus, I SWEAR I have not touched my tv yet today, and it is almost noon. But there you were, Lisa, on TH-cam finishing a talk that I had been watching until 2am then paused to try and get some sleep in. I'll take that blessing, THANK YOU!
I DID switch to you on my laptop while in my bedroom since the online church broadcast didn't work this morning at 8am - that tribe is in TX while I am here in CO. I like to start my day off with positivity and God. So if no JGLM, then you were my next best friend!
Then here you were heroically, beautifully and authentically sharing a very real and very recent hurt. Lisa, I am SO SORRY you had to go through that betrayal. I ache for you, I REALLY do. I have the same doe in the headlight experience with cruelty and betrayal, and I have been accused of living in a castle in the sky MANY times when it comes to "THE REAL WORLD". Yet, your sharing the detail of the depth of financial cost, time cost and emotional devastation helped me so much! Oh, now I AM CRYING AGAIN.
Instead of looking AT the people and the betrayals, I have been running around these people trying to please them AND NOT FOCUS on the BETRAYALS. I have run my joy, my dignity, myself and my life into the manure trying to run away from the TRUTH of the pain, the real SOURCE and PUNCH of the pain all while trying to figure out how to stop the damage and ongoing betrayals. Well, now I am sitting, and I am feeling, and I am crying because of your heroism. Now I have the consciousness and example from you to REALLY look at what happened and is happening so it WILL NOT CONTINUE HAPPENING! I'll start with it no longer being absorbed by me. After I get stronger, so that I am using my story for fuel and standing on top of it verses being immersed in it, THEN I will see what can be done to stop it from continuing to wreck the lives of others.
Along the way, also thanks to your authentic sharing and examples, Lisa, I will embrace doing what I can to help others on my way to greater greatness. I kept buying into the myth everyone else around me has been shoving my way so that I believed I had to have TOTAL LIFE MASTERY before I could begin radically supporting others. I kept waiting and holding back thinking I didn't have this, that or really ANY area of my life mastered, so how could I help anyone? They were expecting me to be perfect and would ACCUSE ME OF BEING PERFECT while I was offering what knowledge, help and love I genuinely had.
Mmm. So many lights going off now. This is like the liquid sunshine we get in Hawaii, where I am from: the sun shines brightly in the sky while a steady sprinkling of rain falls. I am like that Hawaiian liquid sunshine as I cry and feel my brilliance burst through at the same time.
Lisa, my love, I am so GLAD you had the courage and strength to walk this path and AUTHENTICALLY SHARE. I have gotten so tired of the perfect images lightly sprinkled with bs, salesy talk or deflection. Tired of people USING their story to ENROLL or SELL vs to actually HELP. This is a BEAUTIFUL difference.
I realize it has been over a year since this video was posted. I am in faith it will be read by everyone it will serve, and everyone who can reach out in service to me. I am not a facebook, email kind of fan, but you can call me late morning through say 9pm MST or text me to set up a call at 720-341-5970 so we can be real & meet heart-to-heart. God bless you!
Aloha, Tame'
PS. Now it's almost 1pm, but I am going to get up, make some tea Earl Grey tea with cream & a breakfast THEN come back to look fully upon the betrayals and go through my meltdown, purge & reset.
You are medicine to my soul
I see you, Kozeta!
Lisa Nichols Good Day Ms. Lisa Nichols. I pray that all is well. Lately, I have been watching your videos. I love them soooooooooooooo much! I want to learn more, to be more. For many years I've wanted a mentor. I've looked to so many people for it. I've listened to Iyanla Vanzant, Tony Robinson, Michael Beck...I mean the list goes on. Nonetheless, I have NEVER EVER had a mentor whom I can sit down with one on one, face to face and do some real work. Is it too much to ask if that person can be you?
I can't stress how much I needed to hear this. My work environment is toxic and it challenges me to show up and show out EVERY day. My supervisor.....sigh....let's just say I started as an employee, showing up mentally as a supervisor, reporting to a supervisor that acknowledged my strengths and was threatened by my greatness and integrity. I challenged him to be a better person inadvertently with simply just being who I am. So, it went from him complimenting my work ethic, to being challenged by it. He walks by me daily, no words...not a good morning, good job....crickets. But, takes my group suggestions and uses them for his own credit later on. It's a daily fight and it almost made me seek other options of employment....but, I refuse to give him that satisfaction.
Thank you, for downloading wisdom into my spirit to keep pushing and learning how to except rejection. 😊👊🏼🙏.
Thank u so much. Rejection has been a huge barrier for me all my life. My mom has been on drugs since I was young, my dad left shortly after and never looked bk, my marriage after 12 yrs ended in abuse, every relationship I've been in ends leaving me feeling abandoned and I have 2 out of 4 children that are going totally opposite in life than what I taught them...... Point being I kno rejection very well. I'm 37 and reinventing myself and I realized REJECTION is my main fear and scar. Listening to your msg helped me to begin to look directly at this truth of my life. I am even now slick excited to except your challenge to face my fear of it and begin to control my mindset as I'm being rejected or to even not consider whether I'm rejected or not. May God continue to bless u. U have a beautiful gift and I'm so glad we have your existence. 💯💜😊
Yes... Yes... the only way compassion will enter is through me! Lisa.. I can't express my gratitude to you. Your voice elevates my spirit and uplift me whether I need motivation or whether I'm on top of my life. Since I heard your talk at Costa Rica in 2015, I wrote down all the questions you posed in my journal, I took a quite time in nature and answered every single one, I gained clarity and my life transformed. I said 'yes, YES' to my fears, to the taxes I expect to pay and to the seasons. I am not longer waiting in lines or waiting for approvals.. I focus on harmony not balance. Lisa you're a bless... truly thank you!
Waiting for the 22nd and so excited to join you from Cairo, Egypt!
You changed my life!!! Stay blessed Lisa Nichols the great!!!
Lisa , your talks are the blossoms that charms our lives. Thank u for being our mentor in hard times.
This message, among others, has transformed my life at work in customer service. I no longer get drawn in to negative attitudes of others or take the bait when they want to fight. When my smile and warm greeting is met by something totally opposite, I try to keep my feelings out of it and i empathize. They've obviously been dealing or not dealing with pain beyond our encounter. I have unwaivering faith in myself. What I've come through has prepared me to handle just about anything. I'm seeing the big picture and playing the long game. I forgive those that have hurt me deeply and I release the pain so I dont pass it on. One small piece of rejection wont disturb this tower I stand on. #Non-negotiable
I am glad that you acknowledged how difficult being that light is. I am currently going through a transition in life, in which I had to move past bitterness and resentment. It took a lot of mental cleansing, but I am empowered by my strength to overcome.
Ooh my God i really can't explain how much you have impercted me....you've helped me change my way of seeing things and seeing them positively. You are truly God sent to my life....i can truely love myself and accept myself back... God bless you
Lisa. I want to sincerely thank you! I am going through a really strong phase in my life. While before I find little tools and small things that will make me snap out of a tough situation, like meditation, a walk in the woods, surround myself with laughter and picking myself up. This time it seems like nothing I ever used before works now, pretty dark times, finding it hard to find the light inside of me again. I am not sleeping and first thing in the morning I'm tormented with my thoughts & worries. I have watched you before speaking and I really like your genuine, natural, human way of communicate & connect with others, so last night when I couldn't sleep I found your channel for the first time and I click in the right video and message I need it to hear. I want to thank you!!! You help me to have a bit of piece of mind last night, to have a better night... and I listen to you first thing in the morning today to have a good day. I know I have a lot of work to do on myself. But you are a window of light and sunshine, showing what the future and present could look for all of us , if we only dedicate the time to self care, self development and evolving. Lots of love from a very grateful girl. Sending many blessings your way! xxxxx
I really enjoyed this dialogue that you've shared with us. I am talking from personal experience when I say that, when I was rejected by those closest to me, I became the best version of myself. I to this day I thank them for it. I have acquired knowledge that has left those who rejected me standing still.
I absolutely love everything you said. I know who I am, but sometimes too much rejection can cause exhaustion. You reminded me what it means to be my authentic self. Thank you
I am so glad I found you. I am in therapy for years because I have anxiety and I am depressed for many many years now. And I definitely need to learn how to love myself. This is the most difficult challenge I have to fight through. Thx for your Love Lisa. Your words touched my soul.
Lisa, I am where you were years ago, your message inspired me , I am a single mother, I am tired of being broke. So thank you for the motivational speech.
I am going through difficult times, thank you for encouraging me to demonstrate the best version of myself....not to mention self acceptance. I like to add, acceptance of the difficult situation and move on...
"You're self worth is contingent on the value you're bringing into the room" Just WoW #BOL #nugget !!! Once I realized what this meant, I feel like I have all the control over my self perception! Thank You Lisa!!
"A man's rejection is God's protection!" This one sentence has hit my core. Thank you my Queen. This is my 1st time seeing you. You pop up on my home feed and I watched an older video 1st. This is now my 3rd in a row, and wow! Thank you! I so needed to hear this. In more ways then one.
Thank you Lisa for the reminder … the hardest part is remembering everyday what my why is … and after listening to your video i remembered that I did wake up today and thought I do like myself ❤
Lisa, my sister Lisa... thank you for your truth. You have hit the nail ...on the head.you have articulated what my jive is, my truth matter, and the surrender of each challenge in my situation, We have choice, a ripple effect of personal choice to leave this rejection. I am dancing and rejoicing in my own bravery, it is so worth it. I want to thank you for your beautiful guidance and strength. it takes one to know one, this earth-shattering rejection is hard however when it comes to the truth of self-love. I thank you for this clarity
I love this! I'm trying to figure out how to do that right now. Using rejection as an opportunity. Your Environment is not dictate your joy.
I needed to hear this! So many times I choose to be the peacemaker and it’s uncomfortable but necessary in the moment. Today listening to your podcast, I realized by choosing to keep the peace I’m really stepping into my own power. And even tho it’s uncomfortable, it’s the higher road and “best version of myself” that shows up! This realization made me feel very emotional but also very happy, peaceful and grateful! Thank you so so much for your wonderful words!!💜
Girl, I know that these truths are apart of my soul. I interprete as you say but not sure if I could have articulated it. I will remember and practice letting the anointing lead me as i enter the room and share the love, compassion and forgiveness that i strive to share. Thanks again for sharing. All the Best to you and yours.
Listening 👂 to
You gives me so much hope, it also validates what my journey has been so far. I’m a teacher 👩🏫, I’ve got to rehearse being as confident as I can be in front of my students, I keep asking myself why I feel this way and why some atmospheres are easier than others for me. Self acceptance is a big one for me I’ll keep trying until I break this pattern that seems to limit my well being. Love ❤️ u Lisa
