ONE Singular Sensation.

I am a Chorus Line junkie. I have seen the musical several times and loved it more with each viewing. Chorus Line is a slice of the realities of life. We can plan and practice all of our lives and still be rejected for a part we hope to get.http://www.achorusline.com/google/

Sometimes we might discover that we have more rejections than acceptances and wonder how we might simply carry on when it doesn't seem that we will ever get a "call back". It really doesn't matter if you are accumulating career rejections, relational rejections, or financial rejections; being rejected is not pleasant, encouraging or sustaining. Rejection is defeat and is often more damaged by self inflicted ideas that we really don't have anything to offer and that nothing we do will ever be "worth it." 

How do you react to defeat or rejection? Do you allow someone's opinion of you to be your yardstick for measuring success?  While we all value being "selected" or "chosen", we must remember that because we don't succeed in one venue, relationship, career or investment does not mean we are doomed to eternal bottom of the barrel existence. 

If you want to remain at the bottom of that barrel, life will certainly let you wallow there in self pity, self doubt and resignation.  That is your choice. Or you can take whatever circumstance life has heaped on you and rearrange  your "act" and try out again. Like the thousands that try out for a special role, we might discover that we don't get the part, don't perform better than the competition and don't meet another's expectations. We can be devastated and simply give up or we can move on to the next stage, the next review, the next performance and try again. It may not be easy, always comfortable or even initially profitable but no one will ever know what you have to offer unless you get out of the bottom of the barrel and try again.

I wrote ONE MORE SERVING because I was amazed by the resilience of those who did not make life's "cut" in what they hoped would be the performance of their lives and instead had to rearrange their routine to try out in a totally different role they never imagined. It happens every day to countless people, who think they have the routine down perfectly, only to discover they are not going to perform in the venue they anticipated. It happens with a phone call, a meeting, a pink slip, a diagnosis or even an encounter. Life as we know it is "rejected"and we must perform on a different stage, with a different crew, for a different audience.

You might think that you missed the performance of a lifetime because life did not turn out as you expected but your best performance might still be waiting, just on another stage in a different theater.  Don't miss the opportunity to become one singular sensation because you were too busy believing the rejections and accepting the worst of life as your lot instead of using the situation as "new material" for the performance of a lifetime. Do you think your situation is different? So did the individuals in ONE MORE SERVING, but they became extraordinary despite, not because of their situation and you can too and many of them would be happy to talk with you about it!
