Let rejection happen, but do not be distracted.

We all seek approval for what we do. We feel good about our appreciation. We intend to be worthy in all situations. We explain the reasons for failures just to remain good in the eyes of people around us. We discuss plans and draw paths for success. We adhere to social norms, even if they are irrelevant today, just to be liked by others. It is a common approach among commoners in normal circumstances.
Matter takes a negative turn when people reject our words, actions, creativity, or something else or ignore us and are not attracted in the same way as years before. We find lowness in love, closeness, approval, and seeking opinions or imparting recognition.
Rejection happens. It needs careful handling. Trouble starts when we personalize those rejections. Is it our fault? Mostly no. It must not be taken too seriously. It is an opportunity to ponder if something is wrong. It is like bad weather that we are in. These moments are very short, so let them pass without affecting us adversely.
No regret. Let us have a controlled reaction. No bitterness. No harsh decisions. People are free to comment as they like. They don’t know the things, as we know our values, beliefs, responsibilities, possibilities, and striving. We must not be disturbed by the superficial assessment of any outsider.
Yes, if it is a product to be marketed, we may consider the views of the public. For anything, opinions are divided and reactions are varying. Even then, negative views may provide some input to make the products better.
I read a story decades ago when an artist displayed a product to find flaws in that art. The public pointed out deficiencies from top to bottom. The next day, a copy of the same artwork was displayed, seeking positive comments. Surprisingly, people this time appreciated all parts of the artwork. The artist concluded that people judge things in their ways, and there is no deep meaning in them. Let me not be distracted.
One place is beautiful for some tourists and not so good for others. There is no fault in that piece of landscape itself, but in the eyes of visitors who choose to deny its beauty.
At times, it is difficult to digest the rejection that amounts to an insult, but we need self-reflection and not a sharp reaction at those moments. Continue efforts to make things better, and most likely, the same group of people faulting someone from yesteryear will be forced to recognize her or his talents in the days to come.
A reaction serves no purpose. It spoils the game on many occasions. It is a time to be in control and concentrate on what we pursue.
Remember childhood. The teacher asked us to do something against our wishes, and finally, they were essential to building our career.
I recall that my first speech delivered before a gathering was not up to par, but it improved quickly when genuine comments from the audience and seniors were taken in good spirits and with proper consideration.
Rejection will come and go if we don’t allow it to stay in our minds. It does not mean all rejections are senseless. Rejection may be a great source to correct ourselves, which was not yet in our minds. So, let rejection supplement our efforts and not retard our flow as we move forward.
Flexibility allows us to accommodate the rejection of people in such a way that processes are streamlined for better and further improved outcomes. 
Ignore fault-finders. They are present in all cultures. It is their job to spot what is lacking, and it may not be accurate scaling. Appreciate ourselves for what has been done so far to accelerate what is to be done next. We are more responsible for our work than others.
In sum, rejection is neither good nor bad in and of itself. It surely depends on how people take it.
