Most of our failures are nothing more than a form of rejection and knowing how to deal with rejection will help you lessen pain and bounce back to your normal emotional state. #BreakingBarriers
Whether you were excluded from a social engagement, or you were passed up for a promotion, rejection hurts. #BreakingBarriers
I am convinced of one thing: People come into our lives as mirrors of who we are. #BreakingBarriers

1. They Acknowledge Their Emotions
Rather than suppress, ignore, or deny the pain, mentally strong people acknowledge their emotions. They admit when they're embarrassed, sad, disappointed, or discouraged. #BreakingBarriers
Whether you've been stood up by a date or turned down for a promotion, rejection stings. #BreakingBarriers
#BreakingBarriers
Mentally strong people know that rejection serves as proof that they're living life to the fullest. #BreakingBarriers
If you never get rejected, you may be living too far inside your comfort zone. #BreakingBarriers
Rather than think, "You're so stupid for thinking you could do that," mentally strong people treat themselves with compassion. They respond to negative self-talk with a kinder, more affirming message.
#BreakingBarriers
Mentally strong people don't make sweeping generalizations when they're rejected. If one company turns them down for a job, they don't declare themselves incompetent. #BreakingBarriers
One person's opinion, or one single incident, should never define who you are. @Mosopemi @MomentsWithBren @bofiasdiaries #BreakingBarriers

Mentally strong people ask themselves, "What did I gain from this?" so they can learn from rejection. Rather than simply tolerate the pain, they turn it into an opportunity for self-growth. #BreakingBarriers @Ibilola_Amao
Whether you learn about areas in your life that need improvement, or you simply recognize that being turned down isn't awful as you imagined, rejection can be a good teacher. #BreakingBarriers @AishaYesufu @TerryannScott
