The art of Rejection

Rejection, most people fear it most. Some people have master it. I was talking to Juliana about rejection just now. She asked: What makes you try again when you are rejected? I guess rejection is part and pieces of a man's life. We face rejection every single day. How do you feel when people say 'NO' to you? This will be one of the important concepts in our life.

I have come to realise that life is how we view it. Our thoughts determinds our action and our action determines our charactor and our charactor will determine our destiny. What we will become starts with our thinking. No wonder the word of God in Romans 12:2 asked us to renew our minds.

"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12: 2

It is the same with rejection. It's all about how we view it. How we view rejection is going to affect how we feel. If we are going to view rejection as 'Oh.. The person is rejecting me', then you will feel the impact of being rejected. But it is viewed as this person is saying 'No' to me because of .... nothing personal, then it shall be the way.

We need to take control of our thoughts, the things that we allow to think about, to ponder about. It will either encourage or destroy us.
