Have You Forgotten How You Would Make Me Feel When You Drag My Spirit Down?


Rejection: to not accept something: to refuse to accept, agree to, believe in, or make use of something, e.g. because it is not good enough or not the right thing. 


Rejection in reality is something much greater, a essential step in the pursuit of success. It's something natural that an individual would take this to heart, but in my opinion I use as rejection as personal motivation. When someone refuses to accept or believe in another person, it would be most beneficial to instead channel the feelings that nothing is ever good enough to make the heart stronger and more empowered to be greater and reach higher. This insight is not at first what occurs to an individual when they are just let down, but I believe that if everyone looked out for one another, this generation would unite and reach higher limits as one. 

I had been thinking about the  concept of rejection and by fate possibly came across a song. The name is "Who's Laughing Now?" by the artist Jessie J. This song strongly describes what true rejection is, while also incorporating bits of motivation. The video that corresponds with the song is perfect for depicting rejection by peers in what place of course? School. The first twenty to thirty seconds show us into the world of this famous artist that struggled with the pressure of rejection during her younger ages. One great feature that I loved about the lyrics of this particular song are that the artist states that she is thankful for the rejection since it has helped her to make her fame and confidence. 

Being thankful for rejection is the first step to recovery and next step in the pursuit to being even more successful. The first step in making rejection a positive influence is to take the outcome in stride and be almost thankful for the new motivation. Next, the individual should do everything in their heart, without changing who they are, and make themselves stronger. Finally that person should keep the incident fresh in their mind as a constant reminder to keep rising higher and higher and be the best they can possibly accomplish to be.
