In embracing rejection, you embrace yourself because ultimately there is no single person out there who has the power to move you or change you. Only you possess this. Hence, individuals or groups that reject you per se are themselves of no consequence. What is of consequence is the lesson learnt therein. The greater the rejection, the higher the mountain. If one were to look at oneself as a mountain climber, getting angry at the mountain is ludicrous. The greater the challenge, the more there is to clear.

So just as a mountain climber looks for the next mountain you will need to embrace your next rejection.  The only thing that you would not want to do is to repeat the mistake without correction. If the same mistake defeats you continuously then it is not the incidents, nor the mistakes that are at fault, but you are.  Embracing rejection without self analysis is defeatism. Self analysis makes a difference. Hence, it is about planning and preparing that makes a difference.  A rejection gone by unanalysed is a rejection lost in time. Which is why the post mortem of every rejection (through practise of Sphere of Silence) is crucial to your next stage. 

For me, my morning practise of the Sphere of Silence allows me this unique introspection where I can fit the pieces of the jigsaw of the person that I am and since I am continuously evolving, of the person that I am becoming.  Most people who have spoken to me about rejection, ask,” why me?” As if they have been handpicked for this pain! For this dismal experience they feel they have undergone was orchestrated by the lord himself.  But ultimately we are the architects of our own rejections. I do not mean that we are expecting or designing our own defeat but that we need to plan and prepare for both rejection and acceptance in the same manner.  And acceptance merely affirms a thought process and ability of a strategy. A rejection merely challenges you. So change it. And if pride has no role to play it becomes that much easier to deal it .
