Today let’s be positive and talk about overcoming rejection.
Of course, there’s nothing positive about rejection itself: no matter how it’s done and who it involves, rejection is rejection. The strange thing is that different people get either more resistant or more sensitive to it, the more it happens. But whatever happens for you, it doesn’t have to mean the end.
The following is an extract from an old version of a book I’ve been writing, which has been edited slightly to apply to both men and women. (Buying said book when it’s published is highly recommended.

Yes folks, the bearer of positivity and all things wonderful has yet another rant. But there is a purpose behind this particular rant: it’s in anticipation of the upcoming V Day – my least favourite day of the year, for reasons that should be obvious by now. If you’re going to be single by next Sunday, my thoughts are with you.

There’s nothing more disappointing and shocking than finding out that something you believed in was a sham. Unless you’ve ever been through that experience – really been through that experience – you have absolutely no idea.
A search term that came up in my weblog statistics was “millionaire mind intensive criticism”. As you folks know, I went to a MMI seminar earlier this year, having had the opportunity to grab a free seat near the front. And as you can tell, I was very elated that I finally got to meet T Harv Eker.

I noticed in my weblog statistics that someone was looking for criticism of one of T Harv Eker’s courses, called the Enlightened Warrior Training Camp (or as I’ll write from here, EWTC). If you remember my older post on the Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar, I had been talked into signing up for a “quantum leap” package, which included said course. (I’ve since changed my mind, instead potentially going for the Guerrilla Business Intensive course.)
Harv mentioned at the MMI that the EWTC was the one course he ran that continually brought him out of retirement, simply because it was the most life-changing. (Or something to that effect.)
I did some searching online for criticisms of the EWTC, and came across a Blogger weblog post with a participant’s critical review of the Enlightened Warrior Training Camp.

3 ¾ lbs this week.
This was after abstaining entirely from food since Friday afternoon, when – after waiting three hours in a hospital to be told “there’s not much we can do” – I had a Reggae Reggae sub from Subway.
The promotional sub sandwich itself was bullshit; despite being one of the most expensive, it was simply regular chicken with a pile of marinaded peppers put on top. I’ve tried the famous Reggae Reggae sauce (before the diet), and there was hardly any resemblance.
Anyway, losing less than 2 lbs last week made me get serious about losing more weight last week. The ketosis stick turning dark red almost immediately yesterday gave me hope, but I will admit to being disappointed to lose just 3 ¾ lbs.
It does mean, however, that I’ve broken two barriers at once: the 100kg barrier and the three stones loss barrier. Yesterday saw me coming in at 99.8kg, which leaves me ten pounds short of my 210 lb target for this year.
Statistics aside, last night raised an interesting point.
For anyone considering doing the LighterLife diet, you will probably come across people who will criticise you for taking part in it, and particularly the diet itself. They’ll say that it’s an unhealthy diet and that you’re stupid for putting your body at risk, while “stepping in” and giving you alternatives.
All I have to say about these people, in the kindest way possible, is that they’re the ones who have criticised you for being who you were in the beginning, and will still find some fault with you in the future. They’re people who don’t know what they’re talking about, and see you as a threat to their existence because you’re willing to do whatever it takes to change your life.
I’ve been around too many people like that in my life, and now I find ways of distancing myself from them. I don’t know about you, but this kind of thing seems to be more common in women than other men (men will just make fun of you).
Listen, I will advise one thing: like with cosmetic surgery, or any other life-changing thing, make sure you want to do it because you want to do it; don’t conform to these artificial images of what society, the media, or even your close friends and family dictate to you. Like my mom, other people’s minds are always changing, and very very few people are consistent in their thinking.
