No Risk, No Reward.

Rejection. It is something that most of us fear on a daily basis. Whether its rejection from a friend, someone of particular interest, audition or tryout; we all face it. This knowledge should be a comfort however, the feeling of being alone with rejection will never go away. It is simply pride. No one wants to feel incompetent; that they will never measure up. Rejection is the brother to failure. When we are rejected, we fail and thus our pride is wounded. However, if we let the risk of failure haunt us then we would all be standing still; watching the minutes pass as we are motionless. I have let the fear of rejection become an obstruction to what I want far too many times. It is time to move forward and take risks. No risk, no reward.
