1 . Everybody has been rejected .Being rejected often makes you disappointed , depressed and angry .     1    

1. Realize it’s inevitable

Let’s face it .Not everyone is going to think you are as indispensable and wonderful as your mom does .The expression , “Get used to rejection “ may be trite and overused , but it certainly is true .

2 See rejection as an opportunity to learn

    2    Even if you were rejected unfairly , there is always something positive you can take away from the experience .

3.If you deserved to be rejected , then own it .

Sometimes , believe it or not , we all deserve to be turned down for something .Take responsibility for any foolish decisions you made , or behavior in which you engaged .     3    

4. Be compassionate toward others who face rejection

Once your heart’s been broken by that rejection email , you can empathize with others who are going through the same thing . Be there for them .And someday you may have to write that rejection email .     4    

5. Take the high road

Avoid the temptation to blast the person or organization that just turned you down ,especially on social media .You can never take that tweet or Face book status down .It’s there forever . If you must speak to the experience of rejection publicly , then let your words reflect grace and dignity .

    5    

If you give up on that book idea ,business venture , grad school idea , or whatever , then your experience of being rejected was a waste . Never let a devastating , cry-your-eyes -out , come -from -nowhere experience of being rejected go to waste .
