How To Deal With Rejection
Rejection will happen to us at every stage of our life, No matter how good we think we are at something. People will sometimes fail to see us the way we see ourselves. And sometimes we aren't the right fit for the other person. It could be a variety of things!
Look At What You Have In Life
Sometimes rejection can be one of the most unbearable pains.
You need to look at what you still have in life. I highly doubt that the opportunity or person consumed every aspect of your life And if it did. That could be an indication of a bigger issue.
Be grateful for what you still have in life, And focus on those things.
Don't Take It Personal
We seem to take everything personal these days; It's unhealthy and ridiculous in a lot of ways.
Don't let yourself take everything personally. Sometimes the rejection isn't directly about you. If you weren't picked for a job you wanted, Maybe someone else was more qualified. Or maybe you just weren't a good fit (In their eyes) for the company.
If you go through life taking everything personal you are in for a lot of pain and heartbreak. IT won't be worth it.
Look At What You Can Learn
Still, Avoid taking things personally but try and look at what you can learn from the situation. Could you have interviewed a bit better? Do you need to work on your neediness?
Being in a constant state of self-improvement can make you incredible. It will also prevent you from getting rejected again! But keep in mind, No matter how much improvement you do, Everyone gets rejected at times, That's why you don't take it personally.
The Pain Is Temporary
Remember this! You'll move on at some point. You just need some time! Time will heal your wounds, and you won't have to suffer forever.
Conclusion
Rejection can hurt, But it doesn't have to set the stage for your whole life. If you get hung up on your rejection forever, You'll be in big trouble. Learn to improve yourself and not take it personally.
Very well said @kaylinart. Like everything else in life, rejection is also temporary. The problem is not rejection but the way se react to a rejection. No doubt it becomes hard for us to digest the fact but at the same time the only thing which can make us overcome is our self confidence .
Exactly!! I Love that you brought up that it's how we react to rejection, Because thats so true!
Wow nice post miss. Rejections are just part of life we have to put them away like dirt on shoulder. Really appreciate your work. Have a nice day. And keep doing great work.
Thank you!! I agree completely! Sometimes people get too hung up on rejection and it's sad.
Haha you are very beautiful. keep doing great work followed you ; )
A person who believes in himself and backs his abilities will only grow strong after rejections...also, the success will taste better if you achieved something after getting rejected...nice post
very nice! As a music artist I have faced much rejection and each time I try and learn from it, and grow! The more we relax and are true to the unique person we are rejection hurts less and less and becomes more a guiding tool to where we need to be for true happieness.
A very well written post. Part two don't take it personally in my opinion is the hardest part to overcome. Being rejected is about as personal as it gets. Much easier said than done to "not take it personally".
You can't see my worth because I outshine everything. -- I made up this quote after being rejected. I just kept telling myself this until I found some inner peace from the overwhelming negativity I had been feeling for myself.
If you can get past the don't take it personally--- everything that you wrote falls into place.
"You can't see my worth because I outshine everything"
I like that.
Thanks... I used to want to tell the person that rejected me , "You dropped a diamond picking up pennies." but to me that sounded wrong...
I had the good fortune of being born short and ugly... so rejection became a way of life for me. The more you get rejected, the more used to it you become. The only people it really bothers is people with huge egos... They love themselves so much that they can't understand when others don't share their feelings.
The way I look at it is there's 7 billion people on earth and like PT Barnum says "There's a sucker born every minute." People are like busses... if you miss one, another will be along in a few minutes!
It is said Rome was not built in a day. We have to pass through the multiple stages of ups and downs to reach our destination. Failures are the indication that something was not properly executed or well planned, it does not mean that everything was not up to the mark. So rejections only prepare ourselves for the better acceptance.
It's a fact, when something we wish rejected the heart be pain though the person who felt sick did not say anything but his heart has been hurt.
Lovely post.
Thanks for sharing!!! ♥
Yes, rejection does hurt. If you can go through it things start to happen. Rejection is best learned from being a salesperson. Sometimes I just think of it as an objection. Well to a salesman an objection means the sale is still on. So if the salesman can answer the objection, the sale can still be made. If not then the salesman gracefully says, Thank you. Then on to the next prospect.
