I've been hold- ing an online workshop this week with an amazing business coach. We are tag teaming our skill- sets to help people break free from the inner thoughts that prevent them from taking action in their businesses and lives in general. One of the top- ics we are covering is re- sponding to overwhelm and intimidation. One element of this is choos- ing to succeed in the face of rejection. No matter who you are, there are people who do not like you. If you were to meet 100 people, ten of them would not like you for reasons that have noth- ing to do with you. You just won't be their cup of tea. It's about them, not you. Our inner thoughts can amplify the rejection if we are not careful. Our minds can magnify the ones who don't care and don't matter because we are finely tuned to the re- jection channel. It's like the Golden Oldies chan- nel of our minds. Those old familiar tunes from our wrecked childhoods, past relationships and un-fun life situations. They play in our heads whenever we step out into new territory. The participants in our workshop are won- derful people, reach- ing success in many ar- eas of life and yet, there is a wall that they hit at some point that pre- vents them from reach- ing the next level in their game. It's possible that the wall is rejec- tion; the fear of it, the unpreparedness to man- age it and the unwilling- ness to let it happen. One of the keys to ris- ing up in life in any sig- nificant area is the abil- ity to engage with, resist the power of and man- age rejection. It's like death and taxes, it's go- ing to happen. How you manage it, determines how well you move through life. Let's assume that you have agreed that re- jection is a guar- anteed element of life. Once you accept it, you can then embrace it. Otherwise, you move through life hoping to make everyone happy and thereby avoid re- jection. Though, you can't please all the peo- ple all of the time, you can please most of them if you become a door- mat and a sell out. Not a great way to live. Accepting rejection allows you to observe it in the way you would a fly in the home. It's an- noying and you know it is there, but you aren't going to put your home on the market because a fly has entered your life. You might ignore it, you might open a door and shoo it out or you might wallop it with a swatter and eliminate the prob- lem entirely. The same is true with rejection. You have choices in how you manage it, but it isn't life-defining. Once you accept and embrace rejection as part of the totality of life experiences, you can thrive anyway. You can succeed anyway. You can life like any- way. It falls within the some will, some won't, so what, someone's wait- ing category. Free your- self from the self-im- posed walls of rejection. Put on your Teflon ar- mor and go about being an awesome presence in your sphere of influence.

FAYDRARECTOR Succeedinginthe face of rejection Faydra Rector By Claire Lester The Red Bluff FFA offi- cer team attended the 2014 Chapter Officer Leadership Conference Sept. 9 to bond as a team and gain new leadership skills. The officer team arrived at the Viola Church Camp in Shingletown on Tuesday evening and got ready to learn more about becom- ing great leaders. FFA of- ficer teams from all across the Superior Region at- tended COLC. On the first day, the teams gathered together and participated in ice- breakers to help everyone feel comfortable and get to know officers outside of their chapter. Next, stu- dents from Shasta College and Chico State led fun ac- tivities that required the teams to work as a unit to solve a problem or accom- plish a common goal. Some of the games in- cluded balancing a giant teeter totter and getting all the team members safely through a spider web made of string. With the comple- tion of each activity, the of- ficers learned the underly- ing message of each game, such as the importance of cooperation and effective communication. There were also plenty of opportunities to share ideas and mingle with chapter, regional and even state offi- cers during meal times and breaks. On the second day, the state and regional officers led workshops about how to make a good first impres- sion and discussed how to accomplish individual and team goals. There were also work- shops specific to each offi- cer position where the of- ficers learned how to per- form the specific duties of their office well. "COLC was so much fun this year and the skills we learned will definitely help make this year a success," said Red Bluff FFA Presi- dent Abby Brown. Finally, the Red Bluff FFA officers headed back home with a new sense of unity and a wealth of new lead- ership skills.
