Day 25: I Choose to See Rejection as Redirection

Everything I go through is preparing me for what I asked for.

Day 25: December 29th

What comes to mind, write.

I am showing up fully to create the outcome I desire. I cast my reasons aside in favor of results. I gather evidence daily that I am making progress and bringing my vision to life.

I celebrate my small victories along the journey. Everything I go through is preparing me to receive what I asked for. I am always evolving and growing.

By what I think and change on the inside — it may materialize in my reality. I am doing the inner work gradually and have been for some time now, taking the steps to become better each and every day and give the day my all.


I enjoy the process. I am seeing changes in my personality, confidence, and self-perception daily. My self-image is becoming the person I want and need to be. I am proud of all the work I am putting into me and seeing the fruits of my labor — with so much yet to come.


The knowing: I can overcome. I’ve already overcome so much. I have walked through the valley of shadows. I have walked and stood in the fire. I have emerged new.

I have forged faith. I have been persistent and I have reconditioned my mind. I have beaten anxiety. I manage fear. I am strong in voice but compassionate and very understanding. I love clarity and keeping things simple as can be.


I had it all wrong back then — mistaking movement for progression. Hamster on a wheel. I had to focus, get serious. Life is serious. Walk away from all of the noise. Shut it off and shut it out, and get back on course.

I choose to see rejection as redirection.

When I am tired, I rest. I do not quit. I do not give up. I do not fold. I always keep the faith and persevere.
