Deep dives

Reframing rejection as an opportunity for growth

Rejection doesn't always have to be seen as a negative experience. It can be reframed as an opportunity to learn and grow. By shifting our perspective, we can see that not getting what we want can sometimes be a stroke of luck. Rejection can lead us to unexpected and fulfilling opportunities that we may not have pursued otherwise. It's important to let go of the idea of success versus failure and instead view each situation as a chance to gain feedback and insight about ourselves and the world.
