Accept rejection with grace and move on quickly – that’s what fundraising has taught me.
It’s 12 : 06 PM on day 1601 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Jeremiah 18, publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing –”Sternutation” is a fancy word for the act of sneezing – feed myself bran flakes with banana for breakfast, hang out with family and promote my Educate Generations campaign–still on $1 730 and still grateful 🙂
Today it dawned on me that fundraising has taught me to accept rejection with grace and move on quickly when someone says no to me (which has happened more times than I can count) I just say thank you and move on knowing that every no is one step closer to a yes.
