My niece is applying to college. Of course, she's been rejected here and there. And it hurts. We all know that. You can't be human and not get hurt at some time.
It didn't help to tell her to look at the rejection letter as an opportunity to narrow down her prospects--"Good, now I can focus on other schools." No more than telling yourself when you're fired, "Good, I hated that job anyway."
It still hurts.
But it is an opportunity. It's an experience that you need to feel. You need to feel rejected to learn how to handle it. You will live through this. The sun still shines.
Kick the dust off your sandals and move on.
