There have been several points in my life where I was devastated by rejection. When I was younger, rejection felt like the end of the road and there was no place else to go. Now I know when one door closes, or is slammed shut, I know there is something else just around the corner that suits me much better. I know making the choice to open a new door and shift a life goal is not easy. Don’t dwell on the rejection and stay stuck in the past though. Stay positive and move forward. The new door may be in front of you already or it may take a few move shut doors to find the right one, but don’t feel like a failure in the meantime. Don’t let rejection define who you are, but instead think of rejection as focusing you in the right direction so you will end up where you wanted to be all along.
