“The worst they can say is no!” I don’t think there is a more untrue statement that is said so often. Millions of people are rejected and are broken up with every single day. Millions go through their own relationship issues with a significant other every day. My take is: the best thing they can say is no. Rejection is redirection.
A lot of bad things happen to everyone. It’s the nature of life and although people think it’s unfair everyone goes through something. Heartbreak, failure, pain, suffering. Maybe you didn’t get that job you applied for, maybe that pretty girl you asked out said no, maybe you stubbed your toe. Everyone goes through hardship. Everyone suffers.
So let’s say you go up to that pretty girl in class. You ask her for her number and she hesitantly says yes. You celebrate in triumph and start to talk to her. You work your way up and build up your confidence into asking her out. You text your friend first and he says that the worst she can say is no. You do it. You ask her out. She shuts you down immediately and says there is no way and she only sees you as a friend. You’re crushed. You tell your friend and he empathizes with you but it doesn’t help your crushed spirit. If the worst she could say is a simple “no,” why does it hurt so bad? It’s just rejection, I can get any other girl!
Stop. Sit for a minute. Get your head. Reflect. Why did she say no? What did you do wrong? It is a hard reality, but everyone must notice it at some point. You are a horrible person. Everyone is. There is so much more that you can do to become better. So sit back. Take action and better yourself. Rejection is redirection.
“Oh, but I’m already good enough! I can do anything I want.” So why did she reject you? Everything happens for a reason. If you were that good already, then she would have wanted you as well.
Being rejected is a blessing, it’s just up to you to act on it.
