Interpretation and Redirection We have to believe rejection unleashes the imagination to figure out what's the reason behind this rejection. It triggers human's stimulus to think about more options, these options show us a different perspective to understand our boundaries and how much we are ready for another challenge. The rejection leaves space and be open for challenge, mission, and mentality for enhancement and discovers many solutions. Rejection drives our curiosity and makes us ask people why they have different opinion than us. Sharing each other's point of view helps you both see things from each other's perspective. The more we got rejected in life the more skills and learnings we developed. Rejection is a part of success. Remember, the most successful people failed before they succeeded. "One of the most obstacles that stop us to accept rejection is the ego." Followings are some steps which can help you to move from rejection to re-direction Identify any behaviours that may have caused the other to reject you. Use it as a learning experience to take ownership over what you could have done differently. Apply the learning with all your relationships moving forward. When we are rejected, our knee jerk response is to defend, blame and make the other wrong. Shifting your energy away from the other and back onto taking complete ownership of your actions is the path to healing. Identify the story you are telling yourself about the rejection. List all the self sabotaging thoughts and beliefs about yourself that are you fuelling your pain. For example; "I am a failure. They must not like me. I must have said something wrong, etc."
