There is a huge misconception that not only managed to be passed around like a bad cold society, but also has embedded itself in the minds of generations upon generations of individuals as a living truth: rejection is not good and it usually Means that something is wrong with us or the our work. This ideal is wrong in many ways. From the birds eye view, rejection will actually prove itself to be the complete opposite.
Imagine if you were in Orlando and you had to meet a friend in Miami. It was your first time traveling and so you naturally aren't that good with directions. Your friend instructs you to keep to your left When the freeway splits into two but When you reach the fork, His advice completely slips your mind and you keep right instead. You drive for a few miles until your car reaches a road block construction that does not Allow you to go Further, and so the light bulb goes off in your mind and you remember you had to keep left. Confidently, you turn around onto the correct path and arrive safely in Miami.
- Your goal in life = Miami
- Your journey = the freeway
- The correct path = left
- The incorrect path = right
- The construction roadblock = rejection
Now with the legend above, read the story again and see what lessons you can draw from it. You will probably come to the conclusions that without the roadblock (rejection), you would have an extremely rough time finding your way as you probably would have kept driving for a very, very long time. Remember, it was your first time traveling. The rejection that was portrayed as the roadblock actually showed you the way.
Now if we go with the ideal that most of society and the media has put upon us, that rejection is negative and Means that something is wrong with us, we would probably be sitting in our car at the construction site sobbing away. That would do us any good? So why do we sob when we are rejected by the things around us everyday? Family, friends, jobs, schools, etc.. reject us all of the time and what do we do? We get depressed; our confidence levels drop; our self ESTEEM is shot. This is not your fault, this is all simply due to the mighty misconception that has been reinforced ten-fold by your ego.
The fact is that rejection is the Guiding Light does not quite show that you are priority way to go, but clearly shows you are priority way not to go.
Start today to reprogram your mind with this newer, much more accurate definition of rejection. How can you do this? Everytime you come across a situation where you are rejected, pause for a moment and thank the universe for showing you are priority way not to go. Imagine what life would be like if you Spent 80 years trying to impress a girl that has absolutely zero interest in you, but she also has never outright rejected you. 80 years will have gone by and you have nothing to show for it! You just completely wasted your life Because rejection was not there to teach you Otherwise. Always remember, rejection is your teacher, friend and Guiding Light!
