Everybody has been rejected in their lives, and I mean everybody. I laugh at it now, but I used to have a friend who said to me: "Bro, I have NEVER been rejected by a girl, not even once!" That guy was about 3 or 4 years younger than me, and we were both teenagers then. It made me think, is that guy that handsome? Or is he just bragging about something that isn't true? It doesn't matter because I'm pretty sure he was lying.
Looking at it now, it made me look back at the girls who rejected me...wow there's a lot of them. Although now I realize that thank God they rejected me! It hurts at first, but if you think about it, those girls are doing you a favor. Girls rejecting you simply means that they aren't right for you. You might be thinking "but I really like that girl!" but think about it, would you honestly date someone that doesn't like you? Every rejection that I get in my love life, gets me closer to the girl that I will end up with, whoever she is (God I hope I meet her soon).
This not only applies to your dating life, but also in your career as well. I remember in my last job I was terminated after only one month. At first, it was devastating, but later on, I realized that it was a blessing in disguise. I worked at the night shift, and I'm one of those people that is not allowed to work the night shift because of health issues.
In the book, The Success Principles by Jack Canfield he had a formula for rejection: "SWSWSWSW" which means "Some Will Some Won't So What? Someone's Waiting." This means that no matter how many rejections you receive, someone out there is willing to say yes to you, but you've got to go through the many nos to get your yes.
Every rejection is a redirection to something better.
