The 3 R's Resilience, Redemption, and Rejuvenation feels good right now for a few reasons. I had created a post a few days back titled "Discouragement". The feeling of discouragement had consumed me leading up to the day I decided to post the blog.

This horrible feeling was controlling my thoughts and feelings. I was discouraged because I had applied to advertise things on adsense and I was rejected. Now being rejected is not a good feeling whether it comes from a person, place, or thing.

I've been rejected many times before in all areas of life, but this particular rejection hit hard because I was so happy to be part of WA and all that it has shown and taught me up to this point.

So when adsense rejected me it felt like I wasn't following the directions given to me. It also felt like if I didn't complete and follow every step to the "T" I would fail and not have the opportunity to make affiliate marketing my profession. So discouragement set in hard, I thought I had messed up again in life on something that can truly help me get out of the rat race.

I can truly say that this time felt different though. My WA family and the community rallied behind me with encouraging, insightful, motivating, and inspirational words of support. Never had I felt so much empathy and support from others. It made me feel like I couldn't let y'all down and I owed it to myself to see it through.

So I went back to the drawing board and revised any material that I felt might be in question ( which was only 1 post/review). I picked myself up off the ground, rewrote the information in my own words, resubmitted it and (Boom) I was accepted into adsense. I had learned a lot of lessons from this hurdle. My take away from this experience was don't give up, never quit, and keep pushing just to name a few.

Now when it comes to adsense I don't know if I'm going to actually use it, because of some feedback I received from the community. Not everyone said bad things about adsense and some who did probably said it to cheer me up (Thanks guys it worked).

But to be honest whether I use it or not is not the point. My discouragement came in the form of me not having the option to use it when they rejected me.

Being able to have it at my disposal and use it if I deem it necessary is much better than not having the option to use it.

So I feel Resilience, Redemption, and Rejuvenation and I have the WA family to thank for that. So, thank you everyone. The support was much-needed, appreciated, and right on time.
