Rejection, failure and sadness

Ever gone through the disappointment of not getting something you wanted and dreamt off... That sadness and feeling of rejection is something that cannot be expressed. It hits you hard to know that you have failed. When it happens once you are sad about it, the second time you try to hold on and be positive but by the third time you are almost there questioning yourself. Questions like Where did I go wrong Why did this happen to me Why me Am I not worthy enough.........these pop into your mind. It's hard and only someone who has faced it and been there can understand. It could be rejection of your application for a job or university or scholarship or maybe getting a no from a person you like. It's human nature. Even a child cries when he doesn't get the toy/lollipop he loves. Why is it that when you become more mature, it's difficult to handle. The trick here is to hold on. Now I am just trying to be positive here to be true. I failed today at something I really wanted to get pass. I could sit and cry whole day or I could choose to leave it all behind and work for a better opportunity that will come along. World is falling apart every day. Being happy, enjoying every moment is how we add life to our days. So for the time being let's learn the lesson we get from a failure and move on. When finally after a few tries we make it at the position we want to be these hardships and troubles will seem worth it.

May be something better stored for you there, believe this way. There will be a hill after a Valley, for sure. Failures are very common, there is nothing to worry, problems arise when you are not ready to get up from the fall. So learnt the lessons, get up then do it and show it. The "power' is within You.
