Rejection is not the end of everything.
No matter on which dream we work, uncertainty is there to play its role. There is no straight line between dreaming and getting it done. Dreaming is essential, but how to reach our goalposts becomes a matter of hide and seek. We have to establish our place in the expanding frame of opportunities, and this narrative must be running in our brains without intervals. 
We all have to face rejection as we grow and enter the dynamics of fulfilling our roles. It must not be taken as the end of living a life of our choices. Rejection happens—not once or twice, but many times. 
Whatever the jerk, the world is still open to those who knock on the right door. Without giving any chance for inferiority to flourish, we have to insist on getting our place in this vast landscape.
Keep growing and unfolding our areas of strength. In all instances, our efforts are not rewarded instantly. The losing team gets a chance to play next time. One experiment fails to show a clear result. We continue to understand what is what, changing permutations and combinations. In life, we have to try until we find the right place.
The outer world has its own standards of appreciation and selection. Nothing is here to be worried. We must do everything to match the demands of the prevailing systems. What we have done may not be sufficient to attract the attention of the people around us. It signals that they want to see us do even better. 
When rejection occurs, we may go one step behind and energise ourselves to jump two steps more than previous occasions. 
Seeking smoothness in all our attempts reflects our immaturity. When things are easy, then anybody can do anything. Things are not easy, and this is the reason for differences in our performance. 
We are capable of rejoicing after any rejection.
