Think of it as a redirection

.

Introduction

At some point in our lives, we will face rejection whether it be relationship or position. Whatever it is, a rejection can be very dramatic resulting in disappointments, a lot of pain, sleepless nights and headaches. Perhaps these feelings are natural, but I know based on my personal experience, a rejection can be a blessing. It is time we took a different perspective when we encountered rejections. Ask yourself what lessons I can learn from this rejection. What are the implied messages behind these rejections? Tell yourself everything happens for a reason, and you need to discover that reason and I am quite sure once you discover that reason, you will realize that the rejection was a blessing in disguise.

Political rejection

We recently had the general election in the Turks and Caicos Islands. The Governing Party PNP returned to the party and the Premier appointed his cabinet and speaker which caused friction among some members and supporters of the PNP Party. My advice to those who want a position as a minister or speaker is to look at the decision as a blessing. By not getting that position, perhaps you are being protected from something or somebody. Perhaps God has greater plans for you. Of course, you will be disappointed especially if you did not see it coming. There is a reason for everything.  Now the PDM lost the election and while it may not be results, they expected. It can be a good thing too for a party. This is an opportunity for the PDM party to reorganize, regroup and come back bigger than ever. The elections are over despite the court petition.  Trust me, five years will be here soon than you think. If you had won, maybe you would have been under a lot of pressure from the people to deliver the promises you made such as crime and maybe you would not have been able to deliver. Maybe some of you were not called to be in politics and there is something else for you to do. Maybe it is not your time.

A rejected relationship

Some of your relationships did not work out and you are hurt and feel rejected. That relationship probably was not for you. You are probably being spared from abuse and a toxic environment.  There is probably someone else out there for you. I believe there is someone for everybody and it is possible that you have not met that person yet. Therefore, consider that rejected relationship a blessing in disguise.

A rejected position

Some of you believe that a particular position was for you, and you cannot accept the fact that you were rejected for that position. Some leadership positions are best avoided. It is a lonely world. Maybe you didn’t get that job because it’s time to create your own path.

Conclusion

As you read this article, reflect on some of the rejections in your life. Aren’t you glad that those rejections took place? I believe that everything happens for a reason. However, you need to accept that and realize that rejection is for a greater purpose and redirection.
