One rejection doesn't define you.

Rejection can really hurt, especially when you'd allowed yourself to hope. You don't have to pretend otherwise. But one person's answer, one opportunity, or one relationship can't measure everything you have to offer. You can reflect on what happened without putting your entire worth on trial.

ONE SMALL STEP

Give yourself time to feel disappointed before deciding what this means.
