Prosperity Disguised: My Favorite Rejection

Of all the principles of prosperity I teach, do you remember the Law of Polarity from "Hidden Treasures: Heaven’s Astonishing Help with Your Money Matters"? When you are striving to accomplish something significant, and obstacles get in your way, don’t forget that the bigger the challenge, the better the reward will be on the other side of it.

Imagine my frustration when, as I tried to get Jackrabbit Factor published more than a year ago, I received letter after letter from publishers who weren’t interested. But there is one letter in particular that stood out from the rest, and which actually put me on a different path altogether for which, in hindsight, I am extremely grateful. It has become “my favorite rejection” of all time.

Once in a while I’ll share the letter with an audience in a seminar, and for those who have read “The Jackrabbit Factor” it triggers an eruption of laughter. (For those who haven’t, there’s usually just a grin, with a wondering about what’s so funny…)

Had I not received that particular rejection letter, and continued on the same path in search of a publisher, the book would probably only be barely hitting the market right now. For some of you, it might be interesting to take a moment and think of how this past year would have been different for you as well, had that been the case.

So, take a fresh look at your obstacles right now. By law, there is contained within them the potential for something phenomenal. What could it be? Start looking for the upside of your challenges, and be grateful. It will put you in the right state of being to attract some incredible blessings. Continue to focus on the inconvenience of your obstacle, and you may miss the blessing altogether.

With all due respect for the publisher who rejected me, (for I hold no malice, only gratitude for the opportunity to try), I thought it might be inspirational to share the letter with you. Why? To snub the publisher? No, and I hope none of my readers take it that way. It is to simply offer an alternative, positive perspective on rejections that you may face on the way to achieving your goals. View my favorite rejection letter.
