Rejection Wisp

Rejection is something everyone deals with during their life. It is unfortunately a part of this crazy human society that we have built up for our self. Of course Many people could argue that rejection is just a part of the survival of the fittest. That it is at the very core of things, the competition for mates that leads to the phenomenon of rejection.


Rejection is poison. It destroys confidence so completely that many times it is hard to ever try again. Putting yourself in a situation where you can get rejected is one of the most courageous things anyone can do. Applying for colleges for one, applying for jobs, applying to study abroad or for scholarships. All require you to put so much effort into the application process, not only time and effort, but most valuable: hope. Rejection hurts the most when you are hopeful for success, or when you need that success more than anything.

When rejection hits, it is so much easier to just make that the last attempt at aiming higher. But as soon as you stop trying is when you really fail. There are many roads in life, sure there are easier paths to take, and it sucks when you get robbed of that opportunity. But take the long road and be proud of how far you have come when you look back.
