How to Handle Rejection In all Area of Life

At some point in my life I passed through rejection from friends, family, loved ones, and employers of labor. The very first step I took to handle my rejection was to recognize that rejection is a necessary part of my private and professional life. They are built alongside success. They are the road blocks I must pass through and they are the huddles I must jump through to get to my destination. No victory is achievable without facing rejection of some form along the way. It encourages me to enhance my skills.

No one can ever boast that they have never encountered rejection on their way to the top. I have not found anyone or have you?

Okay. It seems like you are with me. I decide to pen this note down because I know that many people has experienced this ailment yes I call it ailment and it is eating up so many people and they have no clue on how they would overcome it. Many would think that they are the only one experiencing rejection. No.

It is better to discuss your pains with those who can proffer solutions to such challenges than to assume that all will be well and see it as though it’s nothing to discuss.

My personal awakening might help shape your reasoning and how to handle rejection when they come your way because they will always come now, tomorrow or days to come.

Let me use an instance. Imagine that you are a graduate and you have been seeking for a good job in order to get the job of your dream you are going to have to send Resume to as many organizations as possible. Unless you get luck, you are likely to have a very high rejection rate. However, this should not be viewed as failure, but merely as part of the natural process of success. Every road to success include backward step as well as forward.

Job recruitment is famous for the high rates of rejection that new job seekers encounter. If the organizations you have been in contact with are complimentary about your qualifications, then you should take heart. However, if there is something at fault, it needs to be changed. Then you can send in your resume again. This process of re-working your resume or personal development will bring it to the point where you can be sure it is your best and when you are called for that great job then you say to yourself that you have achieve your success. Getting your best job would not have happened without the rejection.

Which brings us to step two. Step two is simply to acknowledge the above i.e. that you are going to encounter rejection, no matter how good you are, and change your mind set to embrace this. I am not talking about trying to kid yourself, but if, after careful consideration, you are happy that all is well, then you should feel confident that the end result your desire will come to fruition. In this particular example, that is getting your dream job.

Go into every fresh challenge with the knowledge that each challenge is taking you one step closer to your goal. In achieving your goal you are going to take backward steps, so enjoy them, too, knowing that they are in effect moving you forward. If you never got rejected, you would not get better at what you do. Rejection is necessary for progress. This is the mindset you need when you are handling rejection.

Rejection doesn't come easy to anybody. Starting at a young age we learn to fear rejection, making it difficult to put ourselves out there. This is the case in many aspects of our lives but especially when it comes to hunting for a job. When rejected most people tend to indulge in feelings of self-doubt and failure, but these feelings can be detrimental to your quest to further career. There are steps you can take to minimize the pain that comes along with being rejected from a job.

First of all you need to remember that the majority of the time these decisions are not personal. Typically there is simply another candidate who is either more qualified or willing to take lesser pay. If you feel like you had a great interview and a great connection you probably did. Just because you didn't get the job doesn't mean you don't have a great personality and a lot of wonderful professional experience.

Second of all, don't reflect back on past failures. If you lump this rejection in with past rejections you'll feel overwhelmed and the magnitude of this rejection will be unnecessarily multiplied. Treat each experience individually and learn to lay the past to rest.

It is also important that you focus on your strengths. Remind yourself that you have a lot of marketable qualities. There is always going to be an infinitely long list of things that you cannot do, focusing on those things will only bring you down. If you focus on what you can do and what it is you can improve on, then you are more likely to make progress in your career.

You'll also want to ask yourself a few questions. What have you learned from this experience?

Is there anything you would have done differently?

Based on what you learned from this experience, how will you handle yourself differently the next time you go through the process of interviewing for a job?

By asking yourself these questions you are allowing yourself to grow and improve. That is why even a failed job interview is a good experience to have under your belt. The more you interview the better you are going to get at it.

You also need to make a point of trying to accept the reality of the fact that rejections are a natural part of life. This is not the first or last time you will be rejected. Everybody is rejected from time to time. The more you come to terms with this fact the better suited you'll be going into future job searches.

Additionally you should try your best to avoid blaming others. This rejection may have been out of your hands but that doesn't mean that the fault lies on somebody else's shoulders. Accept responsibility for the things you could have done differently without putting too much pressure on yourself and recognize that sometimes these things just happen.

Remind yourself of the fact that you are not alone in feeling this way. Every day a lot of people are rejected by potential employers. Pretty much anybody you talk to is going to have a similar story, so seek out advice and support from others. People typically take pleasure in giving advice and you may find that you have a few valuable lessons to learn.

Learning to deal with rejection is one of the most important lessons that life teaches us. At times you get rejected in school, at universities at job interviews and sometimes we get rejected in our love lives. What do we do when we get rejected at a job interview that we desperately wanted? We pick ourselves up, make firm resolve and with dogged determination we move on to the next big challenge. Here is how you should handle a rejection from a guy you really liked.

No time for grief
There are going to be many disappointments in life and you should not let them affect you. Convince your heart and soul that this is just a temporary phase and it will pass. If you spend time crying and mopping you are not helping yourself.

Everything happens for the better
Maybe it was in your interest that he rejected you. There is an old saying "Don't get hooked to a guy you love instead get hooked to a guy who loves you". Tell yourself that you deserve better and will get it.

Get busy
After spending a day or two mulling over what happened and why it happened, it is time you got busy with your social life. Tell yourself that instead of him accepting you and later on dumping you it was good in a way that he rejected you outright. At least you were saved from the trauma of being dumped for another girl.

Work on your looks
You have to prove to the world that you are a prized catch. For this you will have to get a fabulous body and hair and skin that are flawless. Hit the gym and get over the frustration by working out intensely. High intensity workouts release hormones that make you feel good and elated.

Do not repeat the old mistakes
By now you will have understood the mistakes that had a role in you being rejected. Start working on them and make sure you do not repeat the same old mistakes. Every disappointment offers us a chance to better ourselves

Hit the dating scene
Make it known to one and all that you are there to be wooed. Start casual dating without getting serious. Do not invest your time and emotions in anyone for some more time. From here on it is you who is going to pick and choose.

Increase your confidence levels
To do this you will have to take up a new activity and give it all you have. It could be anything from a sporting activity to dancing or academics. Make sure that you put in a lot of hard work and excel in it. Once you do that automatically your confidence level will go up and you will start feeling better and confident. The rejection will be a distant memory, as it was his loss not yours.
