Rejection is part of life’s cycle

Is it possible not to internalize rejections?

Won’t previous rejections have a chokehold that will come to play when we’re with new people and in new situations placing you on the edge?

Weshould all get comfortable with rejections. This can come to play in many different ways (sometimes subtle), like posting a hot picture of yourself and getting two likes, being with someone who isn’t ready to commit to a relationship or seeing the person whose love was guaranteed fall out of love.

Are you learning about yourself? Have you realized that your ideals are not a proven way of life for everyone else? Are you a bit more sensitive to people around you and in situations you’re in?

Rejection never stops and maybe it’s okay. While it stinks and stings; as we cruise through life’s cycle, we’ll face rejections. Sometimes from one area of our lives more than another and it’s hard not to internalize but what can we do? Oh, how helpful it is to acknowledge that your whole being is not being rejected — who has that much power to do that to you anyway? It is only the end result that you had hoped for.

If rejection is so scary and one dabbles into half-baked and half-fulfilling situations, wouldn’t that be somewhat pitiful? Wouldn’t you then spend all the time patching and patching again?

It is rewarding to know that life is about learning and making room for more. Rejection stretches out an invitation for you to adjust course and double-check the pain while assessing your motives. When things and situations match, the feeling is deeply personal to you and that is valuable. Don’t beat yourself too much but know that rejection is part of life’s cycle.
