When something doesn’t go the way that you want it to in your life, how do you handle it? If you have a setback or a failure, or if you get a rejection or receive a criticism, do you crumble into a ball and give up? Do you crumble at first and then recover bit by bit? Or does it make you even stronger than you were before?

Today, we’re going to discuss how to grow stronger from every setback you face so that you can move toward greater confidence and get what you want out of life. The idea comes from a book called Anti-fragile, by Nassim Taleb, and it’s all about (you guessed it!) becoming anti-fragile.

This concept is incredibly valuable for all areas of life, especially sales, dating and relationships. When most of us encounter failure or rejection, we tend to become fragile, like a thin piece of glass—the rejection breaks us: I’m a failure. I’m never going to get this. I’m can’t do anything right. I hate myself.

That’s one way of handling things. Another way of dealing with failure or rejection is to be resilient—to falter then bounce back. You feel the negativity for a moment, then talk yourself out of it: I’m a failure. I can’t believe I messed up again. Wait a minute; maybe it wasn’t that bad. Okay, I’ve gotten over this before; I can do it again.

Now, there are varying levels of resilience, and the amount of time you stay broken determines your level. The faster you can bounce back, the more resilient you are, and eventually, you can increase your resilience so that you make your recover time faster and faster over time.

Before reading Mr. Taleb’s book, I thought that increasing your resilience was the best—nay, the only—way to successfully navigate rejection successfully. While this is one way to overcome the negative thoughts that come with failure, there is another way that not only helps us bounce back from heartache, but that also helps us to grow from it.
