Transitional moments in our lives often revolve around rejection.
Were all meant to experience it at different points, some of us more often than others.
The fear of rejection can put shivers down even the most confident persons spine.

Ive experienced it both professionally and in relationships, and it always hurts.
That is, the rejection itself hurts.
When I get rejected, I let myself feel sad for a few days.
I allow myself a pity party, letting irrational thoughts flood my mind for a day or two.
But then, I set them on fire.
I remember that my worth is not measured by the number of rejections Ive received.
My worth does not depend on someone elses approval.
They never got a chance to see all the layers that make you who you are today.
They never saw past that one facet you presented.
You have to remember that in a world of billions, not everyone is compatible.
But there are many who do.
This one rejection doesnt define you, it doesnt make you anyless.
Youre not losing out on anything because it was never meant to work out.
And in the end, you know whats worse than being rejected?
Being the person who plays it safe, the person whos still wondering because they never took a chance.
Youre the one who tries, the one who takes risks.
Youre the one who looks fear in the eye, and gives it a shot anyway.
But the onlyrealfailure is not trying.
