We've all experienced the pain of being passed over. Perhaps as a child, you were the last to be chosen in a pick-up game of baseball. It hurt. Being 'passed over' is a term that means being overlooked, ignored, or excluded. It's a feeling that can be quite distressing, especially when you believe you've done everything right and deserve a particular outcome. To be 'passed over' means that someone else was chosen or preferred over you. It could be because of a lack of experience, qualifications, or suitability for a particular role. It could also be because someone didn't like you. Whatever the reason, being 'passed over' can leave you feeling disappointed, frustrated, and even resentful. It's important to remember that being 'passed over' doesn't define you. Try to let it go like water off a duck's back. Just because one opportunity didn't work out, it doesn't mean that you won't find success elsewhere. Sometimes, it's a matter of timing or circumstance, and there may have been factors outside your control. It's essential to learn from the experience, assess your strengths and weaknesses, and use it as motivation to improve. If you find yourself being 'passed over' frequently, it may be helpful to seek feedback from others. Ask for constructive criticism and advice on how you can improve. It's also essential to utilize the power of positive thinking. Surround yourself with supportive people, and keep an open mind to new opportunities. Being 'passed over' is never a pleasant experience, but it's not the end of the world. Don't let it define you or hold you back from achieving your goals. Keep pushing forward, and eventually, you'll find the success you want and deserve.
Here are some terms from today’s episode that may have been new to you.
Like water off a duck’s back: if insults or stress don't affect you they roll off you like water off a duck's back. Water doesn't bother ducks; stress doesn't bother you.
