Rejection only happens when you desire the affection or approval of the person rejecting you. If you don't want their affection, and you don't need their approval, then what they call rejection isn't really rejection at all. It's a compliment. So before you feel rejected because someone doesn't choose you, doesn't approve of you, or thinks you don't measure up to their standards, ask yourself: Do I need their approval? Do I actually want their affection? Do I respect the standards they're judging me by? Because if the answer is no, then you're not being rejected. You're simply being told that you're not what they're looking for. And that's okay. You don't need to be accepted by everyone. You only need to be accepted by the people whose acceptance actually means something to you. #Rejection #SelfWorth #EmotionalIntelligence #PersonalGrowth #SelfRespect
