This is Laura.
Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's tip is that when you are told no about something you want, consider whether there might be a yes hiding behind it. Disappointments are inevitable, but sometimes when one option isn't happening, a related option will become available if you look for it. So we hear no all the time in life, like no, you're not getting that promotion. No, you can't have a dinner reservation at this restaurant for Friday.
No, I can't have the report done by Monday. Or no, there's no room in the four and five-year-old swimming class. No, your kid wasn't admitted to that college. It is disappointing, and sometimes no is just no. I cringe when people sometimes say they won't take no for an answer. Because when someone has set a boundary, it is frustrating and unfair for everyone if you keep trying to push it.
But other times when you are turned down for something you want, there may be something related that is available. If you just look around or ask. So if your child doesn't make a sports team, maybe they could be the team manager. The coach may not volunteer that information, but if someone asks, another opportunity may be available after all. If you don't get a job at an organization you love, ask whether they see any other job openings that might be a good fit for you.
Make sure everyone has your information and keep the lines of communication open so you can check in every few months to see. I have lost track of how many people have told me about interviewing at a company, losing out in the last round for a job, and then being first in mind the next time there's an opening. It happens all the time. If a change in your work schedule means you can no longer take the tennis class you look forward to every week,
What about scheduling private lessons? What about trying a different tennis place? You just might find something you like. If you can't get a reservation at the restaurant you wanted to go to for your birthday, why not plan ahead and get a reservation for your anniversary in a few months? They probably aren't booked up then. If your brother gets the painting you love from your parents' house, have a print made of it for yourself. You are more or less looking at the same thing.
When you don't get what you hoped for, get creative and consider whether there is something adjacent that might be satisfying instead. I've heard people say that when a door closes, a window opens, and maybe that's true. But in my experience, it's more like when you realize a door has closed, then you can check whether you could open the windows. Sometimes they are locked too, but not always. If you get curious and look around, you might find some version of a yes alongside that no. In the meantime, this is Laura.
