How to face rejection and get over it?

It hurts because it mattered

I know everyone who is reading this story has faced rejection at one point in their life, Well if you didn’t I wouldn't say you're lucky because it’s going to hit you any time and I really wish you would because only when you face it you will know the secrets of life and how it works for you.

If you live for people’s acceptance you will die from their rejection — lecrae

For most of us, more than half of our lives were wasted waiting for people around us to accept us the way we are, but we don’t realize that. We think we are searching for happiness that we are trying to find in the midst of our loved ones. We give them the chance to decide our happiness.

Sometimes we sacrifice our happiness just so that we could make everyone happy and then we realise no matter what we do we still can’t make everyone around us happy being ourselves.

Then comes a stage in life where we even think that we are not perfect the way we are because we are hurting our loved ones by being us.
