There’s Beauty in Rejection

Finding Grace in Closed Doors

Every ‘no’ shapes the path to your most beautiful ‘yes.’

There’s Beauty in Rejection

There’s beauty in rejection, a strange, soft glow,

A lesson in the places we’re not meant to go.

Each “no” is a mirror, reflecting our worth,

Shaping our paths, guiding new birth.

It feels like a storm, harsh winds and rain,

A torrent of doubt, a flicker of pain.

But after the tempest, the skies grow clear,

And whispers of wisdom are all we hear.

For rejection’s a chisel, carving the stone,

Sculpting the masterpiece we’ll call our own.

It teaches resilience, a quiet might,

To find our true purpose, to stand in the light.

Each closed door echoes, a lesson in disguise,

A path unseen, a chance to rise.

A whispered reminder, a sacred decree:

What’s not for you sets your spirit free.

So let the rejections pave your way,

A beacon of hope for a brighter day.

For beauty lies not in what we lose,

But in what we find, in what we choose.
