Sarah Smales posted an interesting story in my SIG over the weekend.

It shows the different effects rejection can have on certain individuals. Some people find it hard to deal with and it destroys their self esteem leaving them to not want to carry on dancing and on the other hand it can set a fire inside someone which makes them even more determined and makes them want to keep fighting until they succeed!
It brought to my attention there must be underlying reasons why one individual can take rejection to heart and how someoe else can just let it go and move on. It made me intrigued to find out why this happens e.g personality traits, environmental factors, family/personal background, emotional state at the time and their journey through training and what they have experienced. I think a lot of it stems from self belief! If you believe in yourself and have confidence you are more likely to carry on fighting because you believe you have what it takes and that someone will like what you have to offer at some point. Where as if you don't believe in yourself people can sense that at auditions and you are more likely to believe you aren't good enough when rejected.
We also discussed whether a good personal support system could help an individual stay more positive and focused on their ambitions as they have family/friends etc there to encourage and reassure them, lifting their spirits back up. I certainly feel this is the case, however I feel if the individual doesn't believe in themselves they will find it hard to accept their personal supports opinions and beliefs.
Thanks again to Sarah Smales for bringing this article to my SIG for discussion :)
I am looking forward to sharing more articles with everyone and discussing them.
