Rejection

Rejection is the end of a relationship
Rejection is the failure of a project
Rejection is saying goodbye to a dream
Rejection hurts when it happens too much.

Rejection is what I must struggle against, if I am to continue this fight.

True

Ouch. Rejection takes time to get over.

flamin said...

It's one of those horribly difficult feelings to get over...but if you want to move on, bite your tongue and do it. Everybody's going to reject you or find ways to put you down. Maktoob.

I read your thoughts, I read the lines, I can not ...but think ... you are ... paid to post.

Rejection points both ways. The rejector has also excluded him/herself from your company, probably through his/her own inadequacy. Treat it as a compliment and move on!

Time is usually the best healer for rejections wether be it a relationship, friendship or work-related.

The end of a relationship - Life transitions

failure of a project - challenges to be better

saying goodbye to a dream - u woke up to create a better reality

Hurt can be turned into inspiration - the tortured are the most creative

Keep your chin up :)
*hugs*

Rejection is sad and painful.

But, it also allows for a new opportunity to present itself!

Cheer up and chin up.. how about a new post?

*buj Bienvenue at my blog!

*jim sullivan whoah, yeah those words are deeep ;)

*travelling stranger Yup, I view rejection as part of life...the skill is knowing how to turn it into a positive..

*md Yes, it's a horrible feeling but it takes strength to bite one's tongue and move on! Thanks.

*ali al ghurair I think you're one of the first VIPs on my blog, apart from Gulf News (which isn't a person, I may add). When I read your comment I wasn't sure whether to take it as an insult or compliment. Either way, I'm glad you shared your opinion with me, whatever it means. Ironic, isn't it, that Gulf News has published a post of mine, and Grazia below have asked to do a feature on my blog..no pal, no one's paying me for my web presence! It comes from the heart ;)

*paraglider I assume you're referring to the 1st line. I guess what you say is a great ego booster. The end of a relationship is just that: the end. One party is rejected, whether its business or personal. Moving on: great skill to have!

*tobasco So true! Time heals when one wants to learn. Pain dissolves in time.

*nifty I'll think about it darling, thank you so much, I'm flattered! Give me some time to ponder over your offer..

*lady Hello beautiful Cape Town lady! You are the "mistress" of words, I love your comment! Thanks darling ;)

*buj indeed! hmm pressure to post something? lol OK I'll go ahead...coming up soon!

Get in there first and dump him before he dumps you.

No rejection, sometimes the simple ways are the best....

i*maginate said...

*taunted I intended to imply rejection on either side is the end, be it he or she. Personally I find it hard to reject someone but won't have any hesitation in anticipating the end, and playing the dumper's role next time! So...is that how men think..

CG said...

anyone with experience knows that when in doubt then dump ASAP. Always better to be the dumper (no, not the dumber lol).

Anyway, rejection is a fantastic learning tool, it helps to make us more ruthless and calculating. See it as your friend.

Taunted said...

*i, of course that's how men think...

Taunted starts to run. Fast, chased by a bevvy of brainless blondes...

Fantasies can come true...

I totally understand this, maybe a little too much. But at the same time, I would think that rejection, as painful as it can be, opens up the door for something better.

I totally understand the rejection feeling, maybe a little too well. But at the same time, I would think that rejection, as painful as it can be, can open up the door for something better.

i*maginate said...

*Jaye, emotionally, rejection could mean a million things. Literally, it just means "no". We all deal with "no" in different ways.

That's the way I look at it.

Spiritually, perhaps it was "meant to be"
