Best Rejection I Have Ever Gotten
Wed, 08/22/2012 - 17:09
So I went down to brooklyn this morning to hit up a zen center that I go to down there. I hadn't been in a while and I hadn't checked the website, so I get there and it turns out they no longer are offering Wednesday morning meditation sessions, so I decide to go hit up a breakfast join, grab some food and read for a little while, cause I had brought my kindle.
Go grab the subway and when I get in, I see this RETARDEDLY HOT... like this girl was just flat out beautiful. Blonde hair, 6'1, skinny as hell... turns out she is a model from finland she's gonna be here for 3 weeks. For me, this girl was a 10. There. I said it.
In comparison, that "stunner" from way back ago who I claimed to be a 9.5... yeah I would give her like a 7 compared to this girl. I mean, this girl was just flat out one of the most just naturally beautiful women I have ever seen in New York. I'm not talking like "club slut 10"... I'm thinking like "introduce her to your mom and then fuck her brains out in the backyard 10"
Anyway- ask her for directions- I was genuinley confused... This wasn't an excuse not to go direct, in fact going direct would have been my first choice simply BECAUSE she was so hot... but I didn't actually see her before I asked directions.
She turns around and answers and BAM.. holy shit
So then she goes to sit down and I go and sit down next to her and start up a conversation... We're both laughing and I have solid eye contact, my vocal tone is on point.. I really felt in the zone.
Anyway- she gets off at her stop and is like, "Yeah, you're stop is like 3 down..." and then leaves...
I'm left sitting there with a slight pinge of regret... why didn't I go for the #...
So, after about 1.5-2 seconds, right before the doors shut, I fucking just BOLT THE FUCK OUT THE DOOR. Zero time to think... I just remember thinking, "YOLO".. and then grabbing my bag and BOOKING IT (fuck my stop- I'll figure out how to get home later)
Chase her down and I tap her on the shoulder, she turns around and I super confidently go for the #- like I genuinely felt confident about it... felt in the zone..
She smiles and tells me, "I'd love to but my boyfriend wouldn't be too happy about that" I go, "Is he here?" and she goes, "Yes" and then walks off and turns around and tells me good luck finding my stop...
So you know what fellas? I am so fucking happy I did that approach. I went after what I wanted, got rejected but after that, I could hold my head high and honestly say that I did everything i could. I didn't leave it to the past for me to reflect on what could have been. I didn't make excuses about how I couldn't run after her cause it would be weird. I didn't second guess myself after I made the decision to go. I just went.
This was the best rejection I have ever gotten.
I just got rejected by a 10 and feel amazing.

I really respect the fact, that you don't give yourself any excuses and just go after what you want man. How did you develop that, if you mind me asking?

It is a natural consequence of my desire to dominate the one life I have to live. I wouldn't go so far as to say that my self worth is DEPENDENT on the action I take to achieve my goals, but I would say that the only thing I care about in life is taking the action I need to take in order to succeed. Getting out of my own way, and letting the machine keep rolling.
Becuase my focus is so acutely attuned to the ACTION that I'm taking, it gives me the incredible ability to literally be my own decider as to how successful I view myself. Like I could not achieve any goal that I have, but if I took all the action that I could have possibly taken to succeed- I will be incredibly content.
I care about nothing else. All I care about is the action that I'm taking in order to achieve my goals.
It's simply a natural consequence of the fact that I am retardedly focused. I have the same level of focus on my goals as an elite level athlete would have on his. I go for what I want and I go for it HARD.
I don't pussyfoot around and take small action steps. I take MASSIVE leaps of action and go in hard and go in for the long haul.
Where most people may change 1-2 important aspects of their daily life... I say FUCK THAT and change 7 or 8. I take the action necessary because that is all that I care about. Period.

All that being said...
I have an INCREDIBLE amount of compassion for myself. In the past, this compassion was directed outwards, but recently I have come to understand the importance of reflecting it, to an equal extent, towards myself.
This allows me to fuck up and not give up. I have the proper balance of compassion and committment, to where if I fuck up- I don't just ignore it and not care about it... but I also don't beat myself up over it.
I pick myself up off the ground and keep pushing forward, understanding that whatever goal I have, it is a longterm work in progress and as such, there is no single fuckup that will make or break me. The only thing that could ever break me is giving up and that is completely under my control.

@buddhagames:
That's something you absolutely HAVE to understand.
A man cannot be broken, except as a result of his own inability to forgive himself.
We are durable beyond measure and no matter what happens to you in life. There is NOTHING that can break you. Your body, your mind, will find a way to succeed and push past whatever adversity you are facing. You CANNOT be broken.
