F You, Fear Of Rejection!
Rejection means different things to different people and can occur within relationships, career and health. More often than not, the fear of rejection causes more consequences for a person than the actual act of rejection itself.
We’re talking about an old-age problem that plagues many of us, stopping us from taking risks, being vulnerable and pursuing our goals. The question is, can we overcome it?
The only way to overcome it is to raise our self esteem from within so that we no longer allow rejection to define us. Acknowledge that we are still ourselves, no matter who rejects us and why. We literally have zero control over what others say and do…But we have full control over how we choose to interpret rejection.
Is it a death sentence? Or a new form of life?
“If someone does not want me, it is not the end of the world. But if I do not want me, the world is nothing but endings.”-Nayyirah Waheed
Happy Reflective Saturday!
