“Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome.”
-Samuel Johnson
Overcoming objections in life is about dealing with challenges, doubts, and resistance – and it could be from others or within yourself. Whether you’re trying to achieve personal goals, pursue a dream, or navigate difficult situations, handling objections effectively is crucial for growth and success.
As Jeb Blount once stated, “After you push through dissonance and pain, you’ll gain a sense of mastery and confidence. This leads to higher self-esteem and improved performance. Objection and obstacle immunity means having the mental toughness and attention control to reach peak performance while maintaining a positive mindset, no matter what the difficulty is, objections cease to phase you. You bounce back quickly, deploy new ideas with renewed vigor, and move forward. Adversity is your most powerful and impactful coach.” Things that challenge you change you.
“An objection is not a rejection; it is simply a request for more information.”
-Bo Bennett
“Objections are just opportunities in disguise.”
-Tamara Foster
…and Eleanor Roosevelt’s timeless statement that should provide wisdom and comfort when facing objections, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
