[ENGLISH] Accept Rejection - See Light in every "Unlike"


"I have been rejected from the company that I am applying for a full time job today. I was hurt. My world trembled and I don't want to pursue it anymore. It seemed that I am nobody. I don't know where should I position myself. What skills do I have - do I have the guts to make it and get the job?"

Questions and disappointment arose that fast when you receive rejection from the thing that you wanted to get.  Rejections are naturally part of our lives. Even the most powerful person in terms of wealth and political will faces rejection throughout his journey. Rejection is the most common cause of sadness, demotivation and depression.  And the reality, it is really a hard thing to accept especially if that job is your dream job or that person is the one you love the most. But how can you accept rejection and see the light from it? How can you divert the negative effect of rejection to you?

I am not a psychologist, a psychiatrist or an expert for me to give advise how to accept rejection. Because accepting is a process that cannot be fast forwarded. Hence, I would like to share some positive connotations about rejection that can help you to accept it slowly but surely.

1. REJECTION IS PART OF GROWING UP



Yes, it is. Rejection is somewhat a tool for you to grow and mature. It helps you to build more of your confidence. Take it as an experience that teaches you on how to be strong. Growing up will take wounds for you to realize your bravery. And think of rejection as a wound that will eventually heal. Stand-up and be proud. All the wounds represent your diligence in facing trials in your life. 

2. REJECTION IS A BLESSING IN-DISGUISED




Do you believe in the saying that - "When you lose something important, something greater will return to you"? Just like dealing with rejection. If someone rejected you, well, think of it as "it's not your loss, it's theirs". 😄😅 There are still opportunities waiting for you to grab them. Don't lose hope. The more rejection you had, the more chances of getting a bigger project. Your worth is deserved by others and not those who rejected you. And believe that you are worthy.

3. REJECTION IS JUST A TEST




A test that you should pass - no reviews needed - just your positive outlook towards life. It is a test of your courage, dedication and perseverance. It is you who will decide if you wanted to pass or fail this kind of test. You should be prepared and be ready to face rejection. Every time you aim a goal, rejection is coming your way - so expect it. But take note that even you expected rejection already, there is still a light of acceptance.

4. REJECTION IS PART OF A CYCLE



You can't proceed to your success unless you've undergone rejection. It opens all doors of different opportunities to which you can succeed or fail depending on your life choices. For example, you have a short term goal for which you will successfully achieve, however being an achiever you would next a long term goal that you may face a rejection with. So the cycle would start from there until you reach success and attain your goals. 



Your dreams and goals will still be your motivators in seeing the light of every rejection you might get into. Having a positive mind will therefore help you to accept and take things lightly. Do not dwell with rejection that much. There is life after your rejection. Think of the people who trusted you and believe in your importance. Every person has his/her own strengths. While there are still weaknesses, you can manage to improve them and develop to become your strengths too. Remember, we can't please everybody but we can exemplify goodness to everyone.
