You make a great point, my friend. Self-rejection is often more complex than we usually think it is. We must constantly ask ourselves why we are delaying or cancelling something we once wanted to do. Only through that can we know when we are self-rejecting.

You’ve put it aptly, Harun. We must constantly prove our choices if we must live full, untethered lives.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, my friend.

The number of times I rethought my no’s while reading this piece tells me one thing… this speaks nothing but the truth. Thanks for sharing! Now I have a lot of self reflecting to do.

I love that it had that effect on you. I pray your self-reflection yields loads of clarity.
