I don't like rejection. Or failure. And I care about what others think. Too much. Like "lose sleep over it and replay conversations in my head" kind of too much.
What I like to do is protect my ego by attempting to read the minds of others. I'll look at a situation, determine what I think will happen, and, if there is a chance of hearing "No", I'll just skip it and move on to something else.
3 reasons for this project:
- "Yes" and "No" both come from the same place - trying something.
- Not asking is always a "No", and I'd prefer to hear it said then continue being a bad mind reader.
- The first "Yes" isn't always the "Yes" I'm looking for, so I'll keep looking for "No" even after a "Yes".
I am going to catalog every "No" I get. The rules are arbitrary, and I'll make adjustments as I go. The goal - to live bigger than I did yesterday.
go Live BIGGER
