Is rejection truly redirection?.
Well, yes. Obviously. Taken off your original path, you are forced to explore a different one.
But we often fail to consider that 'backwards' is just as much a new direction as any other.
Don't let rejection change your end goal. Sidestep the obstacles. Hop off the beaten track. But keep trekking through the mud. You're halfway across the marsh.
Don't turn back.
