Rejection

Challenge #80

How do you deal with rejection?

Some people deliberately try to avoid rejection simply by not taking a job that will offer a lot of rejection. Sometimes it is avoidance of pursuing a potential date with a person or, sometimes it is in not asking for what we want in work or within a relationship or friendship or family because we think we won't get it.  Sometimes it is in not going for our dreams because we think they won't come true.

Sometimes rejection can be seen as a blessing in disguise in the sense that perhaps the timing just wasn't right within the universe's timing for you. The gorgeous woman who rejected you for a date or who you fell head over heels in love with and then used all your money and skipped out on you could be an adulterous felon or worse yet, a serial killer. the perfect job that you didn't get that would have you travelling all over the world and fill your bank accounts up through eternity could have you killed in a fatal plane crash or a car crash while driving with a client along the Amalfi Coast. The patent idea you had that didn't come through could result in years of legal battles and leave you bankrupt. The kids you didn't have could all be criminals and derelicts rather than the beacons of society to make you proud. You see, it's all a matter of perception in how you view things, such as the cup being half full or half empty. In what perception do you view life?


Some people retaliate by certain defense mechanisms from their past histories that kick in when they are rejected. Anger, frustration and over-anxiety can exhibit how a person reacts to the trigger of rejection and sometimes they feel they can project those reactions onto others. Ask yourself, do you feel you have the right to "attack" someone because they rejected you?  And if you answer yes, ask yourself why? Do you feel as though you have the right to slander, harrass or otherwise annoy another because of your emotional state?  Do you always have to have the last say in a situation, even if it gets out of control because you felt entitled to do anything to make yourself feel better about yourself regardless of how you do it?  Just understand that when you do something to annoy harrass, threaten or slander another, it is not one sided and that the other person has a right to tell you stop. Be prepared to deal with the messages of STOP, especially in the eyes of the law....

I challenge you to learn to be in gratitude for the all rejections in your life and understand that they are ways of protecting you. See rejection as protection. And, to not affect others in the ways that you deal with rejection. Work it out on your own way with a support team of professionals if needed. Hypnotherapy, marriage and family counseling, psychic counseling, energy work. Taking responsibility for your issues and not affecting others creates a better path for yourself....
