I think getting rejected is actually a privilege. Sometimes life have that fun way of teaching us big lessons that we never ask for and the most important one is rejection, whether it is a job that you didn't get, that friend who decided to drift away or a dream that didn't go as planned at last rejection really hurts. It's very painful, it makes you to question yourself but the priority that what if you feel that getting rejected is actually a privilege.
Rejection can be a privilege, I remember a time where I applied for a particular job, but I thought it was meant for me as I was already qualified for. I prepared for weeks tried my best and at last all my effort was in vain. I was turned down, I was so disappointed it almost made me depressed, but mostly I found myself in a better place and a better opportunity that later suits my personality values and dreams far more than just what I lost.
When I look back, I just realized that rejection was not the problem or was it an enemy it led me to a better position and a better place. Few people will want to tell you what you need to hear and not what you wanted to hear. Those painful words, those attempts, those chances are not just to end your story but they are what shapes your life.
If you look at a life that is not without rejection then it's a life with no challenge. Life without growth is just a stagnant life without no progress. If you feel that life is full of so many rules then you have to take out understand that you're not being refined to a better place and not denied.
Rejection is not that bad then, it's a way of proving to yourself in the most authentic way and one day you look back and say thank goodness and I'm happy that they said no to me if not I wouldn't have been where I would have been today if not for rejection.
