La semaine des rejets

What an "amazing" week ! Rejections all around. And if I still have strength to come and blog about it, I think I have build enough strength by now to shake off the dust and start again. What an absolute privilege to be in such position.

So when people reject you as you are not who they want, the jobs you apply for think you are not good enough, the project you are working on does not pan out the way you expected it to.... it all seems enough to set someone back.. at least a few weeks of depression. But I had to think where am I getting this strength to stay afloat. And I realized I have built (slowly) the support system one needs to know how to deal with it. The best investment I made was (and continue to be) in people. So reminding myself: "If you find good people, make the effort to keep them."

And finally, something I noticed in me, I did not have the feelings of "getting back at" people who reject me anymore. This is such a good place to be in. Dealing with rejections by not pushing back with "you are making a wrong decision" or "it is your loss" and rather going straight to acceptance is such a nice change I see in myself. I am honestly surprised that I have this in me now. And again, this can only come when you have a source of strength of your own. Victories of your own. And you are secure because of what you have already. After I fail or get rejected, I get to go back to a place of strength and not state of dejection. How lucky I am today
