Rejection can be good, and sometimes ‘no’ is a gift

Brace yourselves, because I want to make an argument that isn’t made that often. I want to explain why rejection can be a valuable gift. Often, rejection is good for you.

I try to fix these little disappointments, at the same time as I try to remind myself that we’re all a bit disappointing sometimes.
