POV: Rejection is a Redirection

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been told “no” throughout my journey as an influencer. Some bosses think engaging me will cheapen their brand because I’m not “polished” enough. I even have friends, who I went above and beyond for, barely lifted a finger when I asked for support because I’m not a priority to them.

Did it hurt? Of course! But did it let me stop me? NOOOOO!!!

Every rejection, every closed door – I take it as a sign from the universe to redirect my strategy. Instead of sitting around feeling angry and sorry for myself, I reflect. Yes, I reflect.

Why aren’t they into me?
What about me didn’t fit their vision?
How can I make them WANT me?

And then, I pivot. I rework my approach. I find another way, another door, another path forward – towards the people who see me, appreciate me, and are ready for what I bring to their world.

Because at the end of the day, as cliche as it sounds, rejection isn’t the end. It’s just a detour leading me to where I truly meant to be. Right?!

So keep moving, keep strategising. and go where we’re celebrated, not just tolerated.

Happy weekend, everyone! If you’re heading to the Feng Shui convention at MITEC tomorrow, semoga ada jodoh nanti to selfie! 📸✨
