Why Rejection Is the Best Thing That Can Happen to You

Ok, so now that I have your attention you must be wondering how I can possibly think that there is anything great in being rejected. Rejection is one of those things we all experience at some point in our lives. It enhances our determination and wholehearted dedication to achieving our goals. In short, it makes you step your game up.

The truth is even though rejection doesn’t feel good when we are in the throes of it, sometimes small setbacks are really blessings in disguise. The fact is that some of the worst experiences in our lives are blessings that change the trajectory of our lives for the better. If we can find the strength within to see our misfortunes as opportunities, we can open the door to the possibility of greatness.

One of the greatest learning experiences that rejection teaches us is it forces us to take a good look at ourselves and take inventory of what it is we truly want. It forces us to ask ourselves if we’re doing enough. Sometimes we get rejected because we’re not ready and that may be a hard truth to stomach. We all want immediate success, but sometimes it just isn’t our time yet. Rejection requires us to take a step back and really look at ourselves.
