Rejection is Hard

Honestly, the truth will liberate you, and talking about it will as well.

So today I'm going to talk about rejection, and not the romantic type, even if that may be a small part of it. I want to talk about the rejection which makes you question your essence - and perhaps your essence is rooted in your romantic life, but more often than not I find that to be untrue and only a lapse in judgement.

Rejection happens to everybody, social media and success allow us to hide or over-shadow that rejection - which is why a happening social media is often confused with success itself. How both of these mediums bury the rejection is by focusing on the more important part - the goal, and the essence of individuals. Okay, perhaps not social media, but "fake it until you make it", right?

The focus is always about the good things and the happenings of life, which is why it is so much harder to face your own rejection without the backing of any of these two mediums - success or social media. And truth be told, people often notice their own rejections rather than seeing the bigger picture or the idea of success and goals.

So yes rejection is hard, it is even harder on an individual level, but it's equally hard for everyone and unless you find a way to keep your eyes on the prize, it's going to keep coming your way and knocking you down. Success is rare, but only if you allow it to be your bigger and sole concern.

Let me give you an example, Nicki Minaj has had a really bad year, she's been snubbed, she's being dissed left, right and centre, but she's not stopping any of that from keeping her eye on her goal - she's still making amazing music. What matters is not the number of Grammys she did not win, but the amount of love she has for her craft and the way she keeps going - for her own self.

I'll end with the idea that greater expectations have greater ideas of rejection. P.S. Deal with Valentine's Day already?



That's all for today.
