REJECTION ( The seat is not mine )

Rejection always stings, regardless of the form of rejection. Unfortunately, rejection is a part of life. Who among us has never failed to get a desired job, been broken up with, been passed over for a raise, or had articles rejected?

Rejection doesn't get easier with time. In fact, the more rejection happens, the harder it gets, unless you have the right perspective regarding it. Don't tie all of your value to one relationship, job, contest or area of life. If you allow your success in one area to totally define who you are and your worth as a person, you'll be devastated when things don't work out.

Remember that it's okay to cry. Assume the best. For example, if someone breaks up with you, it could be that there is someone better out there destined for you. If you get turned down for one job, chances are, there is a better job waiting for you that you would miss if you got the "dream" job. Rejection is also for  your ultimate best if it helps you to grow in some way.

Remember your accomplishments. I have been through a lot. I am "better" than you. Well done! You are not worthless. You are valuable, even in times of failure. Don't give up. There are good things in store for a person who persevere! Myself, victory is a hero! "Put money in her hand!" Conquering self!
