Got Rejected? Read This

Hey, my friend,

Rejection is one of those things that always feels personal, even when you know it’s not.

You can tell yourself it’s part of the process or that it happens to everyone, but when it lands, it still stings.

It makes you second-guess yourself, and you wonder if you weren’t good enough or if you should have done something differently.

But the truth is, rejection doesn’t mean you’re lacking, my friend.

It just means that this path, this person, or this timing wasn’t the right one.

And sometimes, it takes a little time to see that clearly.

What’s easy to miss in the moment is how rejection also creates space. The kind of space where something more fitting can eventually take root.

Maybe it’s a better opportunity, peace of mind, or it’s just learning to trust yourself a little more.

You don’t need to rush past the pain. Instead, you can sit with it for a while.

But know that not being chosen doesn’t take away your worth. It just means life is moving things around for reasons you might not understand yet.

And, my friend, maybe one day, you’ll look back and feel quietly grateful that it didn’t work out.

Not because it didn’t matter, but because something else did more, and it was good for you.

I hope and pray that you’ll be able to look at rejections in that way.

That is it for today, and see you tomorrow.

Take care,
