Smart strong people know that rejection serves as proof that they're living life to the
fullest. They expect to be rejected sometimes, and they're not afraid to go for it, even
when they suspect it may be a long shot.Keep moving. If the door are closed, you
open another window.
3. Treat Yourself With Compassion
Instead of being sorry in the corner," smart strong people treat themselves
with compassion. They respond to negative self-talk with a kinder, more affirming
message.Always remember,nothing is permanent , it will surely change the
atmosphere of rejection.There is no pain that time will not heal.
Rejection is not the greatest lost in life,As Philip Sweet said Stay true to yourself, yet always be open to learn. Work hard, and never give up on your dreams, even when nobody else believes they can come true but you. These are not cliches but real tools you need no matter what you do in life to stay focused on your path.
4. Refuse to Let Rejection Define Them
Smart 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.
Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.Learn to play your cards.One person's opinion, 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.
5. Learn From Rejection
Mentally strong people 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.
Happiness is a choice ,you can choose to be happy even there are lots of rejections, what matter most is your choice to let it affect you or not.Whether you learn about areas in your life that need improvement, or you simply recognize that being turned down isn't awful as you imagined, rejection can be a good teacher. Use rejection as an opportunity to move forward with more wisdom.Dare to be different .When love hurts you, dare to love again.
