#Hints95We all experience rejection...even the very best of us 👌
l have experienced rejection in my life's journey.
Some mild,while some very brutal...some worse than a simple No 🤣😂😂 🤣
Some from family members especially,when I was much younger...
I lost my father when I was very young.
I grew up in a polygamous home and a society setting that disinherits a girl child,so when my father passed on I automatically lost a lot of privileges even though he left a lot of properties behind that would have been enough ta catter to the needs of everyone including female children.
Growing up,I saw how much family members didn't give a hoot about poor relations.
Although my mother worked very hard to provide for us but the ones that have grown and inherited the vast property still saw us as poor relations .
They can even accuse you falsely to be able to give you the name they feel you deserved.
I also lost some of my friends that were from privileged family when I lost my father.
This other time again that I experienced rejection was from the family of my ex husband.
If I knew what I know today I wouldn't have proceeded with that fatal marriage.
I was already in the University when I met my ex.
My family were like Dangote compared to them,but they wanted something greater than Dangote 🤣😂🤣😂.
Now looking back,I remember that in those days, any opportunity those people had visiting my town from their village used to be like Christmas... people from that area used to see my father as a legend
But when I met my ex,my father was no more and the family knew I didn't inherit any thing as a girl child.
They wanted their son to marry the daughter of the then Deputy Governor of my state even though they knew he didn't stand a chance.
Besides, the girl in question was already engaged,so my ex's family didn't succeed in separating us but I was at the receiving end of their hate...
The hate no be here...I no fit shout 🤣😂😂 🤣
And I also know that I have rejected some people too.
Such is life!
Some people have revealed their most brutal rejections to me.
They are so bad that you might want to scream🥺
I have witnessed people try to sell business ideas of which they passionately believed in but met with serious rejections.
And I have seen and experienced so many rejections that were less about meanness.
These days most of the rejections I go through are about businesses.
For example,a Ghanaians can refuse to do business with you simply because you can't speak Twi..he can pretend not to understand English language even though he's fluent in English language no matter what's at stake.
You will hear him or her mock you with Twi words like "Abrofu Abrofu"🤣😂😂 😂
Abrofu means English in Twi.
I'm trying to learn Twi now...afterall I live in Ghana and I have seen that average Ghana citizens are more comfortable speaking Twi no matter their high level of education.
Before I digress...I was discussing rejection.
I have learned to cope with rejection and I think every one of us should learn to cope no matter what...
One of my coping mechanism is that whenever rejection happens to me,I try telling myself that so long as I have not been completely shunned by the entire world...we move 🤣🤣 🤣😂
If you are able to see it from this perspective,you would agree with me that it's not that deep...
If you are able to live above rejection,you will be able to see beyond it,smile and say NO BIGGIE 😂🤣😂🤣
It's not easy but it works for me and I wish it works for others too 👌
