YOU ARE REJECTED

How often you have faced this phrase? "YOU ARE REJECTED". Though seem normal than many other expressions and normal to many people, it has its biggest importance whatsoever. Being rejected is the noxious phrase for everyone but it has its own place inside me.

I, being an arrogant foolish brat, used to think that this phrase is not for me and whatever I do in my life, will be successful. I never saw any limitations and never feel that’s for me. Success I have tasted in my life with the things I have been involved didn't let me think about the rejection. That's the biggest mistake I have been adhering with. It may be usual to all others but ego coupled with overconfidence blend with access to everything in the lapse of time has hit me somehow special. Result, is very notorious as I am crumbling in every fixture with this.

Even people around didn’t warn me about this over-joy ride. I got some warnings but the overwhelming positive effects have blinded the upcoming rejections that are on the way.

Then came that winter when it all finally started. YOU ARE REJECTED. One organization sent the mail addressing me making me furious. I thought that's its ignorance to send the rejection letter. With added vengeance, I applied for many more things with the still attached overconfidence. Result was same, depicting many more reasons I got the list and heaps of rejection letters. Slowly I wilted and started to think what went wrong. In the mean time, within last year, I have had as many rejections in every front of life, as I have had acceptance.

Thinking and analyzing past, I thought it is my destiny to get those situation and it's beyond my capacity to fight it. The best thing I can do regarding these situation is to keep quite and not be negative. What to do next? The confidence, rather the overconfidence has to be shed off, that’s for sure. I hope it will be good and best opportunities are in store for me but I still think rejection is very hard to accept. Pang in the heart could not be seen but scar of one rejection could be so lethal that ton of acceptance will not heal it.

Anyway with the heaps of rejections, it seems so normal to remain calm and expect nothing. This phase of life seems simple and soothing with no expectation and with nothing to think of. Still I wish I could have what I was pining for and that always haunts me whatever I do, wherever I go and whenever possible. I like this suffering but I don’t like rejection.
