Rejection is for greater good.
People are going to have a opinion about almost everything you do.
While splashing their image to look saint-like and perfect, they’re going to make you feel belittled and crushed. While two supports you, twenty are going to put you down.
You will be their subject of debate in your absence at their arena. Either culturally or intellectually or in the way you’re going to perform, you will never be good enough. Not because you’re not actually good enough, but because you’re better than the character sketch that they have in mind about you.
I just understood that world is for people like Harry Potter’s showoff professor Gilderoy Lockhart. Lockhart never actually did any of the heroic acts he claimed he had done, but instead used his considerable talent in Memory Charms to force the actual people who had done them into forgetting what they did. People are getting their name carved in the field they’re into just by using their power to make the ones who work hard to succumb into nothingness. They have no apparent experience but are extremely judgemental, and has a opinion about almost everything that is prevailing in the world. They just portray themselves like they’re the “master chefs” and ironically they get noticed.
One way of dealing with these judgemental a**holes is by completely ignoring them, while the other way is going to be pushing yourself to an extent to bring in a paradigm shift to elevate yourself from the level where they lie.
Mediocrities are going to be there in all the fields, and it is going to take an emotional and psychological toll on you. Your friends will never know the reason behind your unabrupt behaviour. If you’re rejected, crushed and belittled, and if you know you can keep it going, invest all the efforts that you can.
If you’re someone who’s starting out, remember, you will be ridiculed, laughed upon and rejected for what you do because you’re going to do things all with your heart. When you get the taste rejection for the first time, you will feel like a wanna-be artist with no talent. You feel as if you’re performing naked in a podium of people. Literally, your mind takes the control over your sub-conscience to make you feel guilty and powerless. The greatest damage is when you reject yourself. The pain of rejection is always self-inflicted, we damage ourselves more than these people can do to us.
This is the actual phase in which your passion sits on the swinging chair. Either you can go back to the dust to become one in the millions to follow the same normal routine, yearning for what you did not become. Or you can challenge your mind in following your passion.
In a field where these so-called “experts” dwell, it will be really hard to make it to the next level even if you have stuff. They can always always grab immediate attention, but at the end, the one who puts in much hardwork in making his dreams to reality will make the noise. Being ambitious is not a crime. Have faith in what you do. Do things with utmost dedication. Revive your self-worth, pull yourself together, have the chip of self-respect on your shoulders and start to follow your passion.
In the struggle between fantasy and reality, fantasy may win some battles, but eventually, and in every case, reality always wins the war. Keep your rejection and failure aside, your heart cannot survive if you don’t create.
