More often than not, closed doors are found on the road to success.

That’s one reason why we should never allow rejection to have the final say.

When correctly understood, rejection provides the opportunity for better possibilities.

Actor Chris Pratt put it this way,

“The no’s that you get today might mean an even more powerful yes in the future.”

Of course, a potential “yes” won’t fall into your lap.

You must purposefully move past the hurt of being rejected and pursue the possibilities that lay before you.

As Burke Wilkinson said,

“Rejection is the sand in the oyster, the irritant that ultimately produces a pearl.”
