Time2Inspire - How to Overcome Rejection

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Tzvi Sytner’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

we've all faced rejection in life. How do you rise above it and keep going? Hi everyone, It's Time2Inspire, this is Tzvi Sytner, and welcome back. If you've ever asked yourself this question chances are you've been rejected. Maybe you add a great idea and you dropped it because some negative person said oh come on that's a bad idea. Maybe you wanted to start a new business and someone said oh come on that exists already. maybe you wanted to pursue a relationship and someone said oh they're never going to go out with you. Well, what I want to share with you today is how to rise above the negativity and how to stay focused on your goal. How to not let someone dim your light just because its shining in their eyes. You know, Einstein was one of the most brilliant minds of the century. But he didn't say his first word until he was 4 years old. His teachers all thought there was something wrong with him. Some people said he was just lazy. Ya know, Walt Disney, the creator of Disney studios, most people don't know that he was fired from his first job for not being creative enough. Stephen King, the best selling author of 350 million books. His first book was rejected 30 times. He eventually threw it in the garbage until his wife made him take it out and keep going.
