Recently I've found that I have an unfortunate ability to build and sustain a list of rejections that continues to grow with each interview I give. At first I believed it to be the fact that I simply did not fit the position, but after so many no's one begins to understand that it is not the position. Rather it is ones self that is unfit. But the question is how does one become fit?
To become fit for a job is a simpler thing, all you would have to do is to perfect one's interview skills and resume. But what of those positions....that one cannot specifically prepare for? How is someone to gain ground in that department?
Is it my own fault that I find myself in a state of stagnancy? If so how is it that my personality is deemed the type to be rejected and placed in such a state? After much consideration that there is no answer, that there is no way to be completely sure that one's personality is "right" all one can do is make sure that it is right by yourself. I've also come to the conclusion that although I would like to be able to alter the course that I seem to be destined for there is nothing that I can do.
All that I can hope to do is to not become jaded. To continue to hope that all of these rejections continue because there is something more I am meant to do. To continue to hope as all do that I have been rejected because some greater force means something greater for me. Although admittedly I will continue to question myself and the path I am on because of them.
So to all who have been rejected: keep hoping keep believing as you do that somewhere ahead of you there is an acceptance.
To those who have stopped believing, please find hope, find hope in that everything in life is a series of choices. If you make only choices you are proud of and content with then it is only possible for you to have outcomes that are the same.
