There is absolutely nothing fun about rejection. The only time most people appreciate being rejected by someone or for something is when they a) learn what they wanted wasn't as great as they thought or b) they get something better. But there can be a large gap in time between being rejected and accepting rejection -- we're talking years for some people -- and the weight of that rejection can weigh heavily on one's psyche and even cause you to become bitter or paralyzed with fear of trying again.
We know the word "no" is not the end of the story, but sometimes we have to be reminded to persevere. Keep these quotes handy the next time you're rejected and let them be a reminder of the lesson and the necessity to push forward.
“So many people will tell you ”no,” and you need to find something you believe in so hard that you just smile and tell them ”watch me”. Learn to take rejection as motivation to prove people wrong. Be unstoppable. Refuse to give up, no matter what. It’s the best skill you can ever learn.” ― Charlotte Eriksson
"I think that you have to believe in your destiny; that you will succeed, you will meet a lot of rejection and it is not always a straight path, there will be detours - so enjoy the view." --Michael York
"A rejection is nothing more than a necessary step in the pursuit of success." -- Bo Bennet
"Most fears of rejection rest on the desire for approval from other people. Don't base your self-esteem on their opinions." --Harvey Mackay
“I don't want anyone who doesn't want me.” ― Oprah Winfrey
"The biggest hurdle is rejection. Any business you start, be ready for it. The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is the successful people do all the things the unsuccessful people don't want to do. When 10 doors are slammed in your face, go to door number 11 enthusiastically, with a smile on your face." --John Paul DeJoria
"Don't let anyone, or any rejection, keep you from what you want." --Ashley Tisdale
"You're going to have more rejection than acceptance." Barry Mann
"Breaking up is the hardest thing we do. It's the most important thing we do, in a way. You've got to embrace rejection, or you'll maintain a very limited life. It'll be very nice and neat - and very, very small."--Laurie Helgoe
"Every rejection is incremental payment on your dues that in some way will be translated back into your work." --James Lee Burke
“It’s common to reject or punish yourself when you’ve been rejected by others. When you experience disappointment from the way your family or others treat you, that’s the time to take special care of yourself. What are you doing to nurture yourself? What are you doing to protect yourself? Find a healthy way to express your pain.” ― Christina Enevoldsen
“When you give yourself permission to communicate what matters to you in every situation you will have peace despite rejection or disapproval. Putting a voice to your soul helps you to let go of the negative energy of fear and regret.” ― Shannon L. Alder
“Every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better.” ― Steve Maraboli
“Rejection is a challenge.” ― Veronica Purcell
