Rejection is part and parcel of life. Rejection is painful. Naturally, human beings want to be accepted, to belong, to be included and to be loved. When someone is rejected, it can affect the way they see themselves: maybe I am not good enough, maybe I am not beautiful, maybe something is wrong with me, maybe I am a failure etc. Someone’s self esteem could be harmed because of rejection. Actually rejection can cause low self esteem. Rejection can make us feel humiliated, sad, angry, mad and pained. Listen let me tell you this: that you are rejected or not wanted does not mean something is wrong with you. You still have value, you still have dignity and you are still precious and beautiful. Rejection does not devalue or minimize who you are. You are costly. Good, expensive costly and beautiful things are rejected by people who cannot afford them. When people reject you, it is their problem not yours. Respect yourself enough by picking yourself up and move on. Walk away from people who reject you. If people are so blind that they cannot see your worth and value, you do not deserve to be with them. Sometimes it’s good for some people to leave our lives so that they can create space for good, better people to come in. Be thankful for some closed doors, because if they don’t close good ones may not open. Rejection is not the end of the world. When people tell you NO, it means next opportunity. If you knock at one door and people refuse to open the door for you, knock at another door. Do not run after people who reject you, that’s a big mistake. Every rejection is a redirection. Rejection often serves a good purpose, rejection could be a blessing in disguise, down the road, we will look back and actually thank heavens that you were at some point rejected. Rejection I know is hurtful and it is unexpected especially when you think you have all it takes and boom, you are hit with it. Life is tough, life is not fair but how far we are able to wade through the toughness and hardships of life and come out victorious is what makes success in life worth celebrating. Rejection can serve a good purpose, it can be a good thing, so therefore, don’t go to commit suicide or get mad or revengeful, thank the one that rejects you because sometimes unknown to us, by their action, they are setting us up for a blessing. Whatever that is meant for you will locate you. What will be will be. Life has a way of making a U turn and the once rejected would turn out to be the most sought after. Bible tells us that the stone rejected by the builders have become the corner stone. Let go of people who reject you, do not run after them or pursue them, your destiny is not tied to them, their part in your story according T D Jakes is over….Written by Ifee Ifee(For paid invitations to speak, speaking engagements, remarks, comments and reactions, email me at speakingengagement81@gmail.com)
