Rejection is just redirection.

I know you have been rejected by people you hoped for a positive reply, I know you have been turned down just because your qualifications were not up to the requirements they needed for the position at the office.

I know you have gone to apply for several contract bids and after going through your contract proposal, contract documents and your portfolio, unfortunately for you, you were turned down and the contracted given to the next person.

I know you may have applied to study one course in the university of your choice and after series of entrance examinations and aptitude texts you went through just to get the cut off mark for this particular course, the school decides to reject you all becuase they felt you didn't reach the cut off mark for you to gain admission to study the course you desires.

I know you have asked your spouse/partner to forgive you for your wrong doings and ill-treatments you meted on him or her, and after several pleading and apologies, your partner refuses to accept your sorry and ends your relationship with you.

You may have also tried several attempts to break your fears and challenges you meet every day of your life, and after several attempts to cross over, you end up falling apart and feeling rejected and dejected.

You have engaged yourself in a relationship that may have taken you several years to build, and when you finally want to settle down and take the relationship to the next level which is marrying your partner and making your partner your one and only better half, when you have finally concluded and try to propose to your partner, she turns down your engagement proposal and reject you for another person.

You may have contracted a terminal disease and after several treatments, drugs prescriptions and other medical examinations and treatments, yet your doctor walks up to you and said my dear, you can't make it any longer because the sickness has eaten deep into your body system.

As a politician, you may have tried several times to win in an election and each time you bring out your head to contest, you end up losing and being rejected by people through their votes.

In our family settings, you may have been doing your best to be a good and obedient child to your parents but every little mistake you make ends up causing you to be rejected by your parents and family.

You also may have felt that it's your duty to provide for your family and after several struggles during the day, you come back empty handed, nothing to show that you went out and came back after that day's work, instead of your wife and family to believe and appreciate your effort so far, they turn their backs on you, mock you and reject you.

Finally, have you been humiliated and disgraced for something you didn't do or know nothing about, and becuase of that a lot of people decide to hate you, call you all sorts of names and even reject you and everything that concerns you.

When all these negative forces are pushing you and shaking your foundation, you may tend to have a double mind about so many things you once had an affirmative believe on, you may begin to misunderstand yourself and everything around you, just because of the trauma it has put your emotionally, physically, psychologically, etc into.

But one thing you must surely never forget is this word of encouragement, word of hope and light unto your darkest path to shine it brighter once again, is this word that says "rejection is just redirection" when ever you find yourself in such situations. Yes my dear friend, it's never the end of your world when you face such situations in life, always believe that you will get it right when that next available direction is followed.

When this doors closes, definitely another better one will surely be open and you will forever remain satisfied in your heart for waiting patiently to follow the next direction the challenges of life may push you to. Don't regret your failures and rejections you may have received from people, always learn to see good through that darkest path that always come to bring our spirit down.
