Have you ever found yourself holding back from pursuing an opportunity because you assumed the outcome would be negative? Maybe you thought, "I'm not going to ask for a raise because my boss is going to say no," or "I'm not going to do this for my partner because they're not going to like it." If so, you're not alone. Many people reject themselves before even giving themselves a chance to succeed.
But rejecting yourself before the actual opportunity happens is not a healthy mindset. It stops you from evolving and becoming a better person. You limit yourself and your potential, and you may miss out on opportunities that could have led to growth and success.
So, what can you do to avoid this rejection trap?
First, remember that rejection is a part of life. Everyone experiences it at some point. But don't let the fear of rejection hold you back. Instead, let the outcome reject you. If you ask for a raise and your boss says no, it's not the end of the world. You'll survive, and you'll learn from the experience. The same is true for any other opportunity you might pursue.

Second:
Don't assume you know what the outcome will be. You might be surprised. Maybe your boss is willing to give you a raise, or maybe your partner will love what you've done for them. You won't know until you try.
Third:
Be kind to yourself. Don't let the voices in your head tell you that you're not good enough or that you don't deserve success. You are worthy of success and happiness, just like everyone else.
In conclusion, don't reject yourself before the opportunity even happens. Let the outcome reject you if it must, but don't stop yourself from trying. You'll only limit your potential and miss out on opportunities for growth and success. Remember that rejection is a part of life, and don't assume you know the outcome before giving yourself a chance to succeed. Be kind to yourself, and believe that you are worthy of success and happiness.
