How to Reframe Rejection So It Makes You Stronger

Rejection is a part of life, but it doesn’t have to end your world. Rejection can happen anywhere. In school, at work, on dates, in social situations and on the phone. It occurs when someone who you’re interested in romantically rejects you or when a business opportunity falls through. Rejection hurts because we’re all afraid of rejection by people who matter to us. But rejection doesn’t have to be the end of your world. It can make you stronger.

In this episode, I share some takeaways on how to reframe rejection, so it makes you a better person. Think of rejection as an opportunity for growth, understand why rejections happen, don’t let rejections define who you are as a person or take away your self-worth, and think about what else might have been wrong with the situation.
