I have fought a thousand battles, but I am still standing. I have cried a thousand tears, but I am still smiling. I have been broken, betrayed, abandoned, and rejected, but I am still walking proud. I smile. I laugh. I live life without fear and when I love, I love hard. I am humble. I am beautiful. I am real. I am me.

They could have said yes but they said no. It’s how the story begins, then self-pity and utter defeat. What if you could find a way out and make the best of it? Rejected -yes, defeated no. You could make something truly amazing out of it all. It’s a beginning in which you must create new possibilities. Who knows where this path might lead?
You have been rejected, now you have 2 options. It’s a dark past or it’s a clean new slate. Dwell on the past and its darkness or carry yourself with dignity and move forward. You chose to move forward, it’s the beginning of a new story, you have embraced your pains and rejections, and you are building again with more care.
You are putting in the care, you are wiser more considerate who knew there was this side of you? Rejection has brought it out. You were angry when rejected, yes you wanted to give up, but you did not and that changed everything.
You are wiser, and more in control. You have shifted your focus from a place you were not accepted. You have become a blessing to the one who needed you the most. Because you have scars that show you went through the fire they received you. Your scars qualified you and gave you space at the table. Only the ones with scars can walk through these, doors you are now qualified to walk through
You know the nitty gritty of the pains, you were sure how you needed help at that time in the downs. You have taken the L and know how it feels. You cannot bear to watch someone go through those horrors. Is that empathy and compassion? You are winning and you will not go on this victorious journey alone.
You can now identify with someone suffering the same rejection. One step closer, you are now a suitable helper for the hurt. You are marked with scars like them, you know exactly what help you needed but did not get. You are different, you fought and won. You saw your rejection as a new start. But can they?
You are the positive proof that you can exchange ashes for beauty. You now have a crown where you once had nothing. You can show them the possibilities of freedom. At one point you were where they stand now.
You are the proof that it can be done. At this point, you might be the closest to God they see.
You have grown, and can help others but have you healed your scars completely? You see the signs of anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness. You continue looking inside and out of all the scars and the wounds, there is beauty and resilience you have built over time. You are becoming the best version of yourself.
All this came from the foundation of a place that said no when you needed help the most. Were they right? No, but look at what you have become.
Now you are healing and becoming better. You can help others overcome the pains you went through. The journey continues. You have built and worked on your emotional healing. Grace now flows from you.
If you took the initiative, you could heal a hurt and broken heart. You went for it; you are helping the hurt and healing wounded hearts. Who knew you could build on something so negative to bring so much beauty to someone else’s life?
You’ve been helping others come out of dark places, and heal them when they do but have you continued to grow?
You earned a spot at the table because you took the path that went up and high even though your chances were slim. You know you cannot wallow in self-pity, nor can you stop growing. The rejections that chased you in the past cannot catch up with you now.
You do well and continue looking ahead.
You have built an empire and now you must pay the price to maintain it. An empire you built by looking forward, now you maintain it by looking ahead. You choose growth and healing before, choose it now.
Growth is your only choice and weapon against looking back. You are growing up and moving forward.
You have the scars to prove you were in the battle, the impact to prove you won the war, and now? How about peace to prove it was worth it?
You strive for it, but won’t you get it by letting go, not holding on to your fears, and trusting that you are at the right place at the right time? Cultivating healthy habits for your transformation and peace.
You realize that even though the odds have been stacked against you all this while, you did great by introspecting and being honest with yourself.
You’ve built resilience and a strong spirit. Aligned your pains with your purpose and you have become a wonder. Found your peace and you realize it was all worth it in shaping this mover and shaker you have become.
You have created hope, forgave the ones who rejected you, made peace with the past, and created a future that is worthy of mentioning. You have transformed lives and brought others into your empire. Now you have lived, no regrets.
You face the fire and let it burn and you have become gold. Refined and full of purpose. Yours is not a typical story.
Out of rejection, you have made something beautiful, you embraced yourself, looked up and forward. You forged yourself in the fire you were placed in. You became a sword and a weapon; you guided others on the path of recovery and built a circle that thrives.
It’s been a great journey and you won at life. Rejection has become a huge blessing. It forced you out of your comfort zone and forced you to grow. It benefited you and your entire world.
How beneficial it was that you no longer had a bubble, no plan but to grow and fight. Now look at what you have become.
You found your place and I can safely say, ‘You won at life, the story of your life is beautiful’
