How many times have you felt rejected? Don't just sit and cling onto it. That's over. Get my point? ‘IT’S OVER’. For a school going kid or a college going big guy, a Bachelor or a Parent, the rule is same for everyone: “REJECTION IS A PART AND A PARCEL OF LIFE”. You need to let that sink in. Understand it and embrace life accordingly. Brilliant ideas do get rejected at work place, the most handsome and beautiful ones too sometimes have been replied to with a ‘No’ when they have proposed to their beloved, a person who’s been singing all his life may not make it through the auditions... even a person at the highest authority level gets rejected by many.

My question is: Have you ever felt like, “Okay, I am rejected. So what, I got my whole life in front of me”. If yes, my friend, you are on the correct path. Doing everything well in one shot is not possible and it should not be because it is not the success that will help us but the failure that will make us work harder. I think you all know by now that it is the journey that matters, not the destination.

Why should we drown ourselves in a sea of questions concerning that particular event/person? Why don’t we start over with a renewed level of confidence? Why don’t we say “Let’s do it, one more time” and take a dive again? The most important thing that we have to realise here is that “Rejection is not a failure. It is rather a checkpoint for yourself to let you know how much work is yet to be done to overcome the rejection”. If everything was so easy to get, there would be no value for success. But if you let the other half take over you and you think that you can't do it again or that you are so lost, then yes my friend you can never do it. Negativity defeats you in such a way that you’ll never be able to stand. Do not let that negativity creep into you.

Rejection is not a loss; it is actually a chance to be better than ever. Rejection makes you feel bad and even desperate at times. Yes, it is completely normal to be sad about it. Doesn’t matter if you cry your heart out because it shows how badly you wanted it to be done. But you have to come out of the sadness and say to convince yourself that ‘Yes I am back in the game’. Now plan once more and get back to the same old mission with completely new YOU.
