I Got Rejected - And Why That's Okay

Nate Smith April 8, 2022

Today I bring you a video about rejection.

Truth-be-told, I wanted an excuse to complain about a drum clinic that didn't happen, and in the course of writing the video, I talked myself out of being mad.

It sucks to be rejected.

To give something your best shot, then place your destiny in the hands of another, then be found wanting. It's so painful that we make a ton of excuses to avoid ever taking a shot.

But what I've come to realize is that it's necessary, and all you have to think about to understand why is what would happen if we tried to eliminate it.

In this video I'll talk about:

  • My rejection story

  • Why I've come to loathe gatekeepers

  • What would happen if we tried to eliminate them

  • Why I've come to realize we need them

Enjoy!
