Rejection stings—whether it’s from a person, a school, a job, or even just not getting the recognition you hoped for. But here’s a truth we often forget: rejection isn’t a reflection of your worth. It’s easy to internalize rejection and think, I wasn’t good enough. But more often than not, rejection is about fit, timing, or circumstances beyond your control. Even wildly successful people face countless rejections before they get their “yes.” Instead of letting rejection define you, use it as feedback. Ask yourself: What can I learn from this experience? How can I grow from it? And don’t forget to acknowledge your feelings. It’s okay to be upset or disappointed—but don’t stay stuck there. Rejection isn’t a stop sign; it’s a redirection. Keep going. The right opportunity (or person) will come when it’s meant to.

It’s human nature to want approval—we’re wired for connection. But when your happiness starts depending on the opinions of others, it can feel like you're trapped in a mental prison. The truth is, most people are too busy thinking about themselves to judge you as harshly as you imagine. And even if they do? Their opinions are based on their own insecurities and experiences—not your actual worth. Here’s what helps: First, remind yourself that you can’t please everyone. Trying to be liked by everyone often means losing sight of who you actually are. Instead, ask yourself: What do I want? What makes me proud of myself? Those are the opinions that matter. Second, build self-trust. The more confident you become in your own choices, the less you’ll need external validation. Practice making decisions based on what feels right for you, not what you think will impress others. Lastly, surround yourself with people who accept you fully. When you're loved for who you really are, the need f...

  That heavy, empty feeling—like nothing really matters—is something more people experience than you might think. It can creep in during quiet moments or after you’ve achieved something you thought would make you happy, only to find yourself wondering, Is this it? Sometimes this emptiness comes from living life on autopilot. When you're stuck in routines that don't challenge or inspire you, it’s easy to lose sight of what makes life exciting. Another reason could be that we’re taught to tie our value to external things—grades, money, validation from others. But once you get those things, they often don’t feel as fulfilling as you imagined. To start finding meaning, shift your focus from big life questions to small joys. Meaning isn’t something you “find” one day like buried treasure. It’s something you create by noticing the beauty in ordinary things: a great song, laughing with a friend, or learning something new. Try asking yourself: What makes me feel truly alive? Lean into ...

First, take a deep breath. You're not alone—this is something so many people struggle with at every stage of life. It’s easy to feel pressured, especially when it seems like everyone around you has it all figured out. Spoiler: they probably don't. Here’s the truth—finding your path isn’t about waking up one day and suddenly knowing your life's purpose. It's about exploring, experimenting, and paying attention to what makes you feel alive. Here are a few steps to help you start: Forget "the one thing." You don’t need to pick just one passion or career and stick to it forever. Life isn’t linear, and you’re allowed to grow and change your mind. Start by doing what feels right now. Listen to your curiosity. Notice what topics, skills, or activities keep pulling you back, even if they seem random or unimportant. Curiosity is a breadcrumb trail to purpose. Follow it. Focus on feelings, not titles. Instead of asking “What job should I get?” ask, “How do I want to fee...
