Rejection is Redirection

Rejection is redirection.

That job, friendship, relationship, situationship or opportunity that didn’t work out for you- really worked out for you.

Even when it may feel impossible, radically accepting whatever the lesson or experience is can help reduce suffering. How many times have you lost sleep over something you struggled to accept? Accepting a situation for what it is, over and over again even when we don’t want to, can change how we relate to it over time. We can find more peace for ourselves if we can accept the reality of what is infront of us.

You are the author of your own story based on the choices that you make. Maybe in a perfect world some of us would choose to never experience rejection. I think it is safe to say that everyone has experienced a time when another person makes a choice for them in some way. Except in those moments, we actually do have a choice: dwell on what didn’t happen or focus on what could happen.

Radically accepting the outcome of a situation does not happen overnight. It is a continual, if not daily, practice of reminding ourselves to trust that what is meant for us will not pass us by.

What if everything worked out better than you could imagine?
