Rejection

Just got my first rejection on RSVP.

A while ago I was learning about small business and read a book called "Rejection - I love it!" I still don't really get it. I mean I know that it's a learning experience and all. Quite similar to when I tell my English language students, "Don't be afraid to make mistakes. It's how you learn. Mistakes are good!".

I get the learning angle on rejection. But to say that you love it is just silly. Rejection hurts. But I did notice with this RSVP rejection just now that it didn't hurt as much as I feared it might. I think it was because I could see the person had checked my profile, taken a few minutes and replied to my "kiss" pretty much straight away. Whether it was true or not, I got the feeling that I had at least received a bit of a go. Yes, I'd like to know what the issue was, but at least the reply was prompt and kind.

Anyway, I'm still breathing.
