Knockbacks

History is full of inventors and entrepreurs who had countless failures before eventual success. Why? Because they treated each knockback as a learning, a need to do things differently next time. Negative emotion is a state of (conscious) mind. Of course we all want to feel needed and loved; that's an essential part of Human. Nothing is impossible. You can do anything if you put your mind to it. But only if you believe (really believe)that you can. I guess that's what happened to you skmak110? Why does rejection hurt? Because our ego (not the real) you gets in the way. Learn, then let rejection go. If negative thoughts return then observe let and let them pass as well. You know deep down (you subconscious and soul) that you can.

Rejection for some reason is like an emotional failure. We all want and need and can't get passed the fact that perhaps it is for the good that the rejection came about. As imagine if the person was not rejected by the rejector what type of life they would have had. But it is pride that interferes with the way we think and negativity kicks in.

People want to be needed by someone. We want to feel that we belong. It's natural to crave for it, that's why it's just too painful knowing that you're not wanted. It's a good thing that you've turn it into your personal motivation. I'm glad you can do that for yourself. Other's just go on depression and sometimes would kill themselves. That's why I don't like rejecting anybody, coz I know exactly how they feel.
