Most of us, if not all, have faced at least one rejection in the past or may have been turned back from somewhere or something in the past. In the face of rejection, people normally feeling broken and sad depending on the level of rejection but there is something to do - a little workout, to make you live about that feeling. Let us explore them.
First of all, you have to accept the conditions that led to the rejection so that it will not weaken you. Trying to deny the fact that you were rejected will only further lead to emotional weakness and the pains may increase. When you are embarrassed, for example, accept that fact and know that it is okay to be sad. Also accept that you are not the only person that has ever been in that scenario.
Accepting all these will give you the right mental strength to combat it. Obviously, you cannot fight something that you have already denied their existence. For you to fight and overcome something, you must first accept that they are real. For example, if you go to a job interview and was refused, you need not deny yourself that reality so that it will not prevent you from quickly looking for other job opportunities. Note this: living in false hope will only break you emotionally.
Secondly, you need to recognize that your rejection was a pointer that, at least, you have made an attempt. Always tailor your mind to look at things from a side that is more positive than negative. For you to have tried and failed only signifies that you have tried but you need to try again or try harder.
The person that tried and was rejected or did not succeed at the first trial is far better than someone that has not made any attempt at all. This is the mentality you should have so that you will not beat yourself too much over rejection. Do not allow yourself to be defined by how many times you have been rejected but focus more on the fact that you have tried and pushed yourself above your limit.
Furthermore, you have to know that there is always something new you can learn even from seemingly unpleasant situations like rejection. If you can give it a thought, you will find something that you can do to improve your next trial. Find out what you did or did not do that led to the rejection, apply a new strategy with the lessons you learnt from the previous one and your future attempts will be much easier and better.
One way to know the people that have achieved an increased mental strength and alertness is, at the face of rejection, they always ask themselves if they have gained anything from the event of rejection. If they have, then it was not entirely bad. If there is not too many things to learn, there will always be at least one - knowing which part of yourself that needs improvement. Note this: an event becomes entirely bad if you have judged it to be bad.

Man I got rejected multiple times during my job seeking phase. In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't get employed.
It gave me time to focus on my personal life and goals.
That's a brighter way of looking at it bro. It is always good to look at the brighter side of life.
Thanks for coming around buddy
