THE RIGHT WAY TO ACCEPT REJECTION!

Reacting to our blog on “How to get over a rejection,” a personal friend of mine from Quezon City asked how, then, must one take a rejection?

I replied with the following, emphasizing that these apply to both guys turned down by the girls of their dreams and to women totally ignored or rejected outright by the Adam of their eyes:

Rejection is A WAKE-UP CALL, for YOUR OWN GOOD.

It’s a revelation that you have faults or imperfections serious enough to be UNACCEPTABLE to others which you must correct or, if necessary, remove immediately.

Or it’s a REMINDER that you had not been attending to these faults or imperfections even though you’re aware of it.

And let’s not forget the age-old cliché that it’s God’s way of saying He has somebody a lot better that your beloved.

Either way, there can only be one result –you will be a BETTER and STRONGER PERSON with the realizations that will be brought about by the rejection.

That’s why there’s no sane reason for you not to eat or sleep or to cry 24 hours a day in the bedroom, or even think of killing yourself if you fail to win the heart of your beloved.

Tell me, what good will you get out of it?

Will you be prettier or handsomer? Will you get rich, or richer? Will you be famous, or more popular than before? Will you gain any form of power? Will you solve the family’s problems? Will you make other people happy?

I’ll bet a year’s paycheck that you’ll only have one answer -- a big fat ‘NO.’

And for emphasis, you won’t solve the family’s problems. Instead, you’ll add up to it. Neither will your parents or siblings, or friends, be happy in seeing you destroy or kill yourself over an unrequited love.

Think about it. Think really hard, and deep, about it.

As I often say, rejection is not the end of the world for you even though you love the other person more than your life. There are a million others out there.

Let the Great Matchmaker in Heaven choose the best for you. 30
