Earlier in June I wrote a blog entitled “What If I Get Rejected?” This raised some interesting distinctions for me that I would like to share.

There is a huge difference between the internal cost of being rejected (you feel bad, you feel like a failure, etc), and the external cost.
The external cost might be the time you wasted working on something that didn't work. It might be that you wasted an opportunity by going for the longshot or the shortcut when you would have been better off settling in and succeeding in the long haul.
I was referring to the internal cost. It is too easy to talk ourselves into failure before it even shows up.
Don’t let fear of any type, and especially rejection stop you from taking that leap!
