BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL CAREER: REJECTION!

Rejection is often an unavoidable part of building a successful career. Even the most accomplished professionals have faced it at one point or another. 
At some point in my career journey, I faced rejection and doubted my relevance, feeling on the brink of redundancy. But I soon realized this was all in my head, and with the right mindset, rejection became a stepping stone. 

Here is how I reframed rejection for growth:

1. Rejection as Redirection

Every "no" pushed me closer to the right "yes," guiding me to better opportunities.

2. Learning and Adapting 

I treated rejection as a chance to refine my skills and adjust my approach for improvement.

3. Built Resilience

Each setback strengthened my determination to reach my set goals.

4. Knowing  That You Are Not Alone

I realised many successful people faced rejection too—so I concluded I was in good company. That helped me relax.

5. Leveraging Feedback

Many people would naturally not want to face you with criticism but I used any constructive criticism i received to build skills i didn’t have or consider necessary earlier.

6. Celebrating Small Wins

Never miss this! I always recognize the small wins along the way, give thanks for them and of course commend myself. This helps me to stay motivated.

7. Staying Focused and Persistent

It is pertinent to keep your eyes on the bigger picture, and don’t let rejection redefine your self-worth. I have always made sure of this.

Most importantly, Rejection, when reframed, can be a powerful catalyst for success.
