Rejection is Inevitable, don´t let it define YOU
One person’s opinion, one statement or one single incident, should never define who you are. Don’t let your self-worth depend upon other people’s opinions of you. Just because someone else thinks something about you, doesn’t mean it’s true.
Strong people don’t make sweeping generalizations when they’re rejected. If one company turns them down for a job, they don’t declare themselves incompetent. Or, if they get rejected by a single love interest, they don’t conclude they’re unlovable. They keep rejection in proper perspective. They ask themselves, “What did I gain from this?” so they can learn from rejection. Rather than simply tolerate the pain, they turn it into an opportunity for self-growth. With each rejection, they grow stronger and become better.
Don’t let rejection define you. It’s only YOU who have define or redefine YOU.
Rejection is not necessarily a reflection on you. Rather it wasn’t a fit — for whatever reason. Re-framing the experience and learning from it can propel you for better opportunities.
When one door closes another door opens. Keep moving forward. There a better tomorrow waiting for you.
I agree when things goes wrong we loose our energy and our thoughts makes us think crazily. Getting rejected can be hard. It can make you sad, hurt, surprised, or angry.You can’t always control the crazy shit that comes into your head, but you can control how long that thought persists unchallenged, whether you permit it to take root, influence how you feel, and ultimately, dictate your actions.
Commit this formula to memory:
Thoughts → Feelings → Actions → Outcomes
When you deal with any rejection, you have a choice to make — how am I going to think about this?
There are two options:
Rejection is a reflection of me and my worth → I feel horrible about myself → I am going to be miserable and inactive → Nothing changes
Rejection does not define me, and I will move on to better things → I feel excited about new opportunities → I will put
