What motivates you, pushes you, inspires you? How are you affected by setbacks and obstacles? Do you let them push you harder or defeat you?
Some of our world's most successful people were rejected, were told "no", struggled. By falling, they were pushed to get back up and propel them forward toward their goals.
In fact, Walk Disney was fired from a newspaper and was told that it was because he lacked imagination and original ideas. Over ten publishers rejected J.K. Rowling's manuscript before one finally yet reluctantly published Harry Potter with skepticism about its success. Thomas Edison was told by a teacher that he was "too stupid to learn anything". Fred Astaire was told by a director that he "Can't act. Can't sing. Slightly bald. Not handsome. Can dance a little."
How have you been positively impacted by less than positive feedback?
