Rejection doesn’t mean the rejector is right in rejecting you. Look at all those 999 who didn’t take the opportunity that made the Colonel and #1000 rich men. So it’s right don’t take it personally – it may be bad judgement on the rejector’s part.

@Tom, I won’t dream about missing out on mentioning about self confidence and esteem. If we can change how we feel about ourselves, we can also change how we view rejection and things happening to us in our lives.

@Davina and Al, patience and persistence are good values to adopt!

@Marelisa and etavitom, rejection does not necessarily mean that there is anything fundamentally “wrong” with ourselves. Looking at rejection as an indictor for us to make improvements or to understand that the timing is not right, is certainly more empowering!

@Irene, I love the thoughts that you shared on this subject. What a great way of understanding why we get rejected. Things are definitely a go-ahead when we are “matching up on vibes”. What we therefore need to do is to move into being aligned with what serves our Higher Purpose.

@Betsy, I can understand why sometimes we continue to remain stuck even when we know that it is ridiculous to take rejections personally. I’ve been in this position before.

Awareness is nevertheless the first step! You may need the passage of time to realise that the rejection is a blessing because it has provided you space to move into something more suitable. Things often happen for a reason!!

In the absence of more info from you, my take is that when you can have forgiveness and a sense of acceptance towards yourself, you won’t be taking out the rejection on others.
