Things To Reject When Rejected On
• Never beg to be accepted, it increases your vulnerability.
• Never dwell in self-pity.
• Never remain at the same spot; just move on.
• Never wear the same mindset.
• Never close your heart and door to those who rejected you.
• Never do the same thing repeatedly when the result seems negative.
Benefits Of Rejection
• Obstacles when confronted with a positive mindset gives creative tension.
• When rejected, it sends a signal that there is need for improvement, therefore rather than regret, refocus and repackage.
• The beauty of light is more appreciated in the dark. Let the circumstance bring the best out of you.
• Rejection sends the message of reflection; you reflect on what you did wrongly, how you did wrongly, where you did wrongly and when you did wrongly.
These will allow the opportunity for re-setting and re-bottling.
• Without obstacles there may not be tentacles; rejection therefore can help increase your tenacity, awareness, receptivity and navigation.
In rejection you must learn to believe in yourself, even if other people think your ideas are stupid. Life challenges sometimes are charging us for better productivity. Problems of life are stones; make them steppingstones and not stumbling blocks. People are good in casting stones, but whenever people cast their stones on you either out of hatred or rejection, use these stones to build castles.
