We also learn from rejections



We all have fixed ideas about the rights and wrongs of life. We think that rejections are bad for us while acceptances are good. But that is not always true. Just as we learn from our mistakes, so do we from all the rejections that we get over the years. Rejections are a part of life, they are our guiding light and they help us grow and evolve. In fact I would even say that rejections are a necessary part of life – they make us strong and ready to accept any kind of difficulty in life.
Rejections bring a fresh flow of energy. This is like a rush of adrenaline which is very important for anyone but especially so for an entrepreneur. This gush of energy that you feel after a rejection can be a positive force in your life or it can be a negative force – the choice is yours. This is what I have learnt from my life and my experiences. If you use these rejections in the right way, to channelize your energy in a productive way, then they are good for you – they become the reason for your success. As long as you trust your instincts, your rejections will help you do well – they will lead you to success, they will propel you forward, whether in business or in life.
Rejections are a great source of motivation
Rejections are a great source of motivation. They challenge you and make you seek other alternatives – they make you think about where you have gone wrong and they help you learn. True, they are road blocks, but not permanent ones, they are temporary obstacles which can be overcome. They are opportunities for you to introspect and grow.
Business is an unpredictable field. It is influenced by factors beyond your control. So if you think you will always be successful you are bound to be disappointed. Rejections teach you not to take success for granted. Rejections means that you will fail sometime but that is okay. Use the opportunity as a means of learning, and you will go even further in life.
Rejections force you to consider alternatives. They make you go over what you have done. They make you re-analyze and maybe come up with even better ways of doing business. They make you tougher and wiser. They help you become better entrepreneurs – so embrace rejections
