Rejection and Overcoming Rejection in Your Life
Custom Search
Rejection God created human beings with the desire to be accepted-it is part of our DNA makeup in wanting to be accepted, and belonging in our social order. Overcoming rejection, and despair , and dealing with rejection is something nobody likes to go through but is a very fact and reality of life. Perhaps you too have experienced being rejected, whether you were rejected because of your race, your looks, your weight, or your cultural group, being rejected is hurtful and damaging to your self confidence , your self esteem , as well as your self motivation in life. Whether you too have experienced emotional rejection in many of your previous successful relationships , including your once happy marriage . It is not too late to learn from your failures in life. About me , I too have experienced rejection, more than I care to admit, but I am a survivor of rejection and refuse to be defeated and defined by the world’s standard definition of rejection. You see, like you, I too have been dealt with numerous rejections in my life but I choose not to accept that which I am capable of changing.
Overcoming Rejection In Your Life PRAYER: I firmly believe in the power of prayer for any situation in life that you are experiencing and believe that our Lord God created us to serve and worship Him. God desires personal and successful relationships with all God's children. I firmly believe, only by having the hope and faith in God above, by trusting in Him, and in your God given abilities , are you able to rise above and grow from your failures in life. Don’t worry for you skeptics on Christianity, this is not a sermon on the mount speech trying to indoctrinate you into believing and accepting my spiritual views. This is not my point. My point is for you to open your eyes and your heart I might add, and to realize that you are not the center of the universe as you and the world would believe to be true. God is the center. However you need to be open minded that the power of prayer is indeed very powerful in overcoming rejection. God does hear yours and my prayers of petition and genuinely loves and cares for His children. I challenge you next time to bow down and pray to God to help you in any and all situations you are going through. Ask God to help you how to meditate to Him. Obviously your current plan or system isn’t working too well, so what do you have to lose? REFLECT: Reflect on the rejection you just experienced and try to think through self critical analysis of why things happened as they did. Reflection is a powerful tool in trying to figure out why things happened as they did. By reflecting upon what you did, and why things turned out as they did in your being rejected, you are better prepared not to make the same mistakes twice the next time. If you were rejected due to your fear of public speaking , as an example. Hire a public speaking coach or life coach , in helping you to overcome your weaknesses. Make a mental note of things and events that just happened in your life in your being rejected and be aware of what steps you need to do next time to arrive at a more favorable outcome. Realize also that sometimes, certain things are just out of your control and you can not affect the outcome-this is OK. But you have greater recourse by noting what you can do in moving forward. ACCEPT: Acceptance is probably the hardest part of the rejection process, however if you want to see personal growth and real character development from this painful experience, accepting what happened as it is-is positive starting point for real growth. Let me make a very important point: Acceptance doesn’t mean Failure. Acceptance in this situation is simply accepting the most recent events that resulted in your facing rejection period. This could be just a temporal setback in your road to personal and professional development. Everyone get’s rail-roaded at times, you lose focus and your bearings, and you do not hit the smart goals you set out today to accomplish. But it does not imply failure , unless you choose to accept it as so. God has equipped us with all the cognitive reasoning we ever need, we are only tasked with using our brains, to apply the knowledge we have learned. To that end, there will be set backs in your life, temporal blips that did not reach fulfillment for whatever reason. You must not give up but instead must have the determination to persevere. Perseverance holds the Keys to Success. You are both your greatest friend and foe. Remember that next time you are ready to throw in the towel and quit. You are only limited by your own failures which you choose to accept or not. You just need the self discipline and a positive attitude in thinking differently. Your life is waiting... Remember: "The only Unfulfilled Goals in Your Life are the Ones you Never Attempt" |
is something every person who has ever been born has experienced numerous times during their life time.
