There's no denying it, when you work hard at something and are proud of yourself, but people respond to you with a big fat 'Nope', it can sometimes really suck. It's very demotivating when you think you're deserving of an opportunity but no one chooses to see your potential. If you sometimes find yourself saying, 'Can anyone believe in me just for a second?!' then let me tell you why you should </span><span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">never</span><span style="font-kerning: none;"> let rejection get you down and why you ARE worth it.</span></div> <a name='more'></a></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Avenir; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; min-height: 22px;"> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></div> </div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Avenir; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-kerning: none;">There's a common misconception that numbers equal success. I will be the first to tell you that I get inspired by raw, engaging and real content rather than the number of views a post has or the number of followers the creator has. Unfortunately in modern day media a lot of brands tend to go for the biggest influencers with the widest audience, which is understandable because of course they want to reach a lot of people. This gets to me sometimes, because people usually don't try to see a persons potential, they want numbers and engagement upfront and that's their main focus.</span></div> </div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Avenir; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; min-height: 22px;"> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></div> </div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Avenir; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-kerning: none;">You could unlock something brilliant if you choose to see the potential in yourself.

It can apply to your job, school, relationships and anywhere where you've been faced with skepticism or hostility due to not being thought 'good enough.' One person shouldn't have the power to determine you fate or future.

You <i>are</i> worthy of those opportunities and you <i>are</i> going to be recognised for your worth. </span>Yeah it can be disheartening being told you're not good enough, but the thing is you <i>are</i> good enough, you just need the right people to believe in you, starting with yourself.

Should I chase after that dream job or take the safe route? You can either be a realist or and idealist when it comes to life, or even a bit of both. If you're somewhere in the middle, you might find yourself stuck on which career path to choose. How do you give yourself the best life possible? Do you follow your dreams and find eternal happiness? Or choose the safe route and have guaranteed financial security?</span><br /> <span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span> <span style="font-kerning: none;">There are pros and cons to both so if you're unsure whether you should take that risk and follow your dream or play it safe, it's important to compare your options:</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; min-height: 22px;"> <span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; line-height: normal;"> <span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Pros of Following Your Dreams:</b></span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; line-height: normal;"> <span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></div> <ul> <li style="font-family: 'avenir next'; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none; font-size: large;">You'll wake up everyday getting to <b>do what you love</b>.</span></li> <li style="font-family: 'avenir next'; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none; font-size: large;">Can you live your life knowing that you didn't go after the one thing you always wanted? By following your dreams you're staying true to yourself and potentially having the life you've always dreamt of. If you can dream it, you can achieve it and if you want it bad enough, there's no reason why you can’t have it.</span></li> <li style="font-family: 'avenir next'; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none; font-size: large;">You will have a constant drive to achieve and reach your goals because <b>you're working for yourself</b>.</span></li> <li style="font-family: 'avenir next'; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none; font-size: large;">You're potentially creating a better and happier life for yourself by doing what you love and what you were born to do.

This is where the realist part of me would advise you to plan carefully to make sure you have a secure future for yourself. I highly recommend following your dreams however I know it's very important to have financial security. Just make sure your dream can assure you security in life too.</span></li> <li style="font-family: 'avenir next'; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none; font-size: large;">It may take a lot longer to go down this route rather than the 'traditional' job route. Overnight successes rarely happen and a lot of successful people have worked very hard every single day for years to get close to their dreams. If you're chasing your dream then you more than likely have a lot of drive and ambition so this shouldn't be a problem, but just be aware <b>it may take you longer</b> to reach a steady income in life if you're going after a big dream.</span></li> <li style="font-family: 'avenir next'; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none; font-size: large;"><b>It may be harder</b> to actually make your dream a reality than to choose a steady job.</span></li> </ul> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin-left: 36px; text-indent: -36px;"> <span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> <span style="font-kerning: none;">As you can see there are a lot of pros to following your dream, and being a big dreamer myself, I highly recommend that if you're passionate about something then you should <b>go after it full speed ahead.</b> That's not to say that a 'normal' job may not be for you either, so here's a list of pros and cons of going down the 'safe' career route.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; min-height: 22px;"> <span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; line-height: normal;"> <span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Pros of A 'Safe' Career:</span></b></span><br /> <span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b></span></div> <ul> <li style="font-family: 'avenir next'; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none; font-size: large;">*Almost* guaranteed financial security. Not every job can guarantee you a good pay cheque but you're more likely to have a stable income sooner if you choose the school-university-job route. It's no secret that we live in a world where we need money to survive so it's a safer bet to choose a 'normal' job if money is your main focus.</span></li> <li style="font-family: 'avenir next'; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none; font-size: large;">Security in the workplace.

Life is long, so make sure you're doing something that you love.</span></li> </ul> <div> <div style="font-family: 'avenir next';"> </div> </div> <div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; line-height: normal;"> <span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "avenir next"; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; line-height: normal;"> <span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "avenir next"; font-size: 16px;">While I'm not qualified to tell you exactly what to do with your life, I strongly urge you to find your passion and fight to make it your livelihood, whether that's through an untraditional route or the standard job route.
