Somebody has rightly said:
“Rejection is god’s way of saying- wrong
direction.
Rejections are always bad, be it
a placement, a coveted spot somewhere else or a relationship. It has that
embedded nature of “destroying” you to the core, annihilating all that has been
done before and leaving you in a befuddled land of “questions”. Questions which
only you can answer, only you can solve better.
With first company taking the
flow on the campus, handing job offers in abundance, I am coming across a lot
of students who are feeling “dejected” because they were “rejected”. It is
natural to feel that way, for if you are not feeling the scars, the mistakes
would get repeated again and will leave you with a lot of scars in the end.
Well, the bigger question is: How
to deal with it? How to handle the aftermath of a rejection?
Let’s not see it the way I want
to see it, let’s look at the way it is. You were rejected; you were dejected
for many reasons. You went into oblivion, and tore apart pieces in the process
and did a post-mortem of it to come out with the best “excuse”.
Sorry, but many people find excuses to cover up their deficiencies and
it indeed is a human nature.
You dig it deeper, in the process
you slipped into peer-comparison, you felt jealous and a question loomed in
your head: If it can be him or her, why not me? A drop of tear got converted
into flurry of tears, you need consolation and you need motivation because you
did worked very hard for it and somebody else ate the pie. The pie that you
thought would be yours but ended up on being someone else’s.
Well, let me tell you, this is
not the best method; the best method is to peacefully accept it and move on
ahead for newer pursuits. Let’s not get stuck in the wheel of “over-analysis” and let the wheel move
forward for a new destination.
Let’s chase something else, let’s
trudge a new path, let’s enjoy a new journey……………………and destination will
eventually arrive.
“Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it.”
