No one can escape rejection. Whether it's a dismissal of a job application or your affections for someone, we've all been there. And it burns. Especially when you truly believe that this path or person was totally and utterly right for you. But I've developed a theory that in love and life, it is an unwritten rule that we must get badly, sometimes brutally burnt at least once in order to appreciate the happy ending.
Handling rejection is one of life's greatest challenges. Whether we throw a fit like that spoilt child in Sainsburys or accept it gracefully determines the height of our fall on the next occasion. Because there will always be a next time.
I'm not afraid to admit that I'm still learning with regards to rejection. Perhaps because none of my experiences have been that painful...yet. But for those of you who have been hit hard or left with permanent scars, I hope you find the strength to fight back and never ever lose faith in your happy ending.
After all, as they say... what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger.
