The Tao of Transforming Rejection Into Hope Rejection comes with the territory of becoming a successful writer. You are likely to get rejected in different areas of your writing career. Initially rejections can be disappointing. After going through several, however, you will get used to it. The important thing is to not get discouraged. Use rejection to your advantage. It can bring you closer to becoming a successful writer. Rejection needs to be taken as a sign of strength and hope and not a reason to harbor vengeance. Use the word “no” to your advantage and transform it to “yes, I can.” As a writer I have received thousands of rejections – for magazine queries, grant proposals, manuscripts, and more. Every rejection only made me stronger. In retrospect, I am glad I experienced rejection as it has helped me to appreciate what I have now achieved. Here are some healthy ways to cope with rejection:
A Rejection could be a Blessing in Disguise
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond to it It’s 10% hearing “no” and 90% how you respond to it. A lot of rejection is not the actual rejection itself, but how you handle it. If you engage in positive self-talk and have a confident attitude, it is possible to attract a better outcome. Hence, keep picking yourself up when you fall. Do not feel daunted but rejoice because you have found one less way to being turned down. So, even if a new party says “no” to you, you will always be able to transform your negative state of mind to a more empowering one. Think of Rejection as a Healthy Thing No writer gets immunity from rejection. Rejection will actually make you a more resilient writer and a stronger individual Rejection can actually be a healthy thing. Thinking of it as a positive attribute rather than a negative one can get you closer in achieving your goals. Re-vamp your Mind Take a step back. Go for a weekend retreat. Do something fun that is not writing-related (if you can afford to, that is), don’t turn on the computer for a few days. Take a complete hiatus from writing. When you return you may find that your mind feels more refreshed and that your attitude has been re-vamped. This mental rejuvenation is more important than anything else. NEVER LET REJECTION TURN YOUR DREAMS TO DUST.
