You..

There are a lot of things in our daily life that can get hair at the back of necks stand. We fear so many things - dark, unknown, roaches and the list just keeps getting bigger. But there's something that forms an integral part of every person's list at some point or the other - rejection.

People really don't take rejections well. The worst part about this, is the pattern that develops. A string of rejections can kick in the poison that corrodes the soul. If you don't believe me, ask yourself. After being declined by the first person you ever proposed, rejection is the first thought that enters your head when you are on the road way to your next proposal. I understand the fear. But I also understand this can be curbed and taken care of.

I have always believed that if you are being rejected by a certain set of people snubbing your ideas, you and your thoughts are surely not worth the place. For good or for worse, you need to figure it out! Life unfolds according to a plan. Everything has its place, everyone has a purpose. Rejections faced by you are probably the signs trying to tell you something. Listen to them.

Failure at work can probably mean either you slog your ass hard or find your calling and slog harder. Rejection letters from companies could mean they are not worth your time. Roses crushed under heels could mean that there's a better person waiting for you, whom you would have never met had it not been for a rejection. So as you can see from the incidents, its all a part of the plan, the big picture. A wise person had once told me, you can connect all the dots only in hindsight. 

 Some people just don't have to wait till they are bald to gain wisdom! This one, is for one of them. The rest could use this as a pointer!

I see you, putting a brave face in front of the world. I know you are hurting. Even through your pain, I feel immense pride as I look in your eyes. These are the eyes that will provide the world a vision. I see the strong arms being thrown helplessly in the air; the arms, that will work tirelessly to build things from the scratch. I see the shrugged shoulders; massive shoulders being built to carry an empire. I see the finger, curled into a fist and wonder if they are even aware of the strength they possess. Your attitude to life is an epic in itself.

You are not like anyone I've ever come across. You are plain simple you. Your dreams give birth to your life. Your meant to breath life into your dreams. It's said - The finest of steel has to go through the hottest of fire. The more you sweat on the training ground, the less you bleed in the battleground. This is your training and it might get hotter. Promise me you'll never give up. Not coz giving up is cowardly. Coz giving up is not you. It's never been you. 

I am fortunate to be a part of the fire engulfing you. I take pride in being a part of your training, however insignificant and small it may seem. The wildest of colts make the finest of horses. Embrace your rejections as they are paving a path to your fine future. Your knowledge will set you free, your power will set you sailing. As I see you sailing through the storm, I see the clear skies ahead. Stay put dear soldier, stay strong. Winds of change are on their way.
