Being Told No Can be a Blessing

I have learned that being told no can bring about the best and highest good in your life.  At the time we might not like to hear it or have say it, but in the long run I have found there was a reason.   Sometimes we have to look for the reason, but more often than not the reason presents itself in the form of a new opportunity or the revelation of how unhealthy what we wanted was for us.

When I was looking for my home, I originally found a ranch in Interlochen.  It relatively new and located in a wooded subdivision.  The deal was set.  The night before we were sign the papers the owner called me, which was highly unethical to go around the real estate agent, and tried to change the terms.  I told him no.  The price was set.  The deal fell through.  I was disappointed.  The next morning my agent called about another house.  It was much cheaper, but we had a deadline to get the paperwork in.  Within two hours, I was looking at it.  It was strange because when I walked in and left a muddy footprint.  By four o'clock it was mine. That was 21 years ago.

About 4 years ago, I was a big Days of Our Lives fan.  I had watched it for decades, but the writing had gotten so bad that watching it had become more of a pain that a source of enjoyment.  It had been a long time since I wrote script.   After watching the crap on the screen, I knew I could do better without trying.  So I started writing an alternative storyline.  I posted it on the NBC boards.  It was a ghost story that used the veteran actors and the show's history to create a ghost story.  Nearly everyone loved it and wanted me to continue.  I had fans from around the world who wanted me to be the new head writer.  I did apply.  I wasn't told no--it was hell no!  

I didn't get the job, but I did reclaim a part of myself that I had misplaced.  I loved writing script.  I was also very good at it.  Through a series of coincidences I created the TV series Operation Home Base..  After which I rewrote my paranormal thriller Never Can Say Good-bye.

The strange thing is that while looking for producers for them, I became a producer myself.  One day I woke up and realized that I had been doing the job  for months.  I claimed the title, the job, and the new future.  And I'm very good at it.

Each time being told no, brought something better for me.  No was a blessing in disguise.   That is how I'm choosing to see the financing for Never Can Say Good-bye.  We've had it three times.  This last time I turned it down, because there is some money you really don't want to be associated with.  I choose to have the courage to believe tha the real 5.7 million USD will appear and we will be in front of the cameras mid August..
