What If You're Told "No"

What If You’re Told “No”

This fact is sure.  Somewhere in life you will be told “No”.  And just what are you going to do about that?

You could shrug your shoulders and say, “Okay”, and wander on down the road.  You could do that, I suppose. 

But what if you ignored the “No”.

Steven Spielberg did.  His mediocre grades prevented him from getting accepted to UCLA film school.  He became a famous producer/director anyway.

Barbara Walters was told to "stay out of television" in 1957 by a prominent producer.  

Bob Dylan was booed off the stage at his high school talent show.

Randy Travis was rejected by every major record label twice.  

These stories inspire me. They tell me that those in the “know” don’t always know.

If you have a dream, and it burns brightly within, then keep trying. Keep plugging away. Keep writing, or singing, or creating, painting, doing pencil sketches, sewing, baking or whatever your heart is telling you to do.

Not every “NO” means stop trying. 

This is what is

on my mind today.
