Rejection is a part of life, but how we handle it can make all the difference. Socialite and businesswoman Bridget Achieng is a perfect example of someone who has faced rejection and come out stronger on the other side.
According to her, she has been rejected not once, but a couple of times, and she has learned to handle it like a boss. In a recent post, she shared her honest take on rejection, urging women to choose to heal and not let it weigh them down.
As she so aptly puts it, 'TRUTH BE TOLD YOU SHOULD HANDLE REJECTION LIKE A BOSS, I HAVE BEEN REJECTED A NUMBER OF TIMES BUT I CHOSE TO MAKE IT MY STEPPING STONE, YOU GOTTA DECIDE IF YOU WILL MAKE REJECTION WEIGH YOU DOWN OR TEAR YOU APART …. WHEN HATE ARISES I GET MOTIVATED TO BE A BETTER PERSON….I STAY ABOVE THE WATERS '.
She also reminded women that only they can lift themselves, and no amount of psychiatrist visits can help if they're not ready to heal or change their situation. As she puts it, 'ONLY YOU CAN LIFT YOURSELF, NO AMOUNT OF PSYCHIATRISTS VISITS CAN HELP YOU IF YOU NOT READY TO HEAL OR CHANGE YOUR SITUATION. PERSONALLY I CHOSE TO WIN ALWAYS..STAY BLESSED AND GOOD NIGHT INSTA FAM #coronachronicles #quarantinelife.'
Her words of wisdom come just a couple of months after she shocked many by revealing how she dumped a man. She had revealed that she woke up one day, grabbed her ex's stuff, and sent them to his workplace in a gunia.
