Last year I rejected rejection, felt unlucky and vulnerability felt embarrassing. This year I am following "rejection therapy", am grateful at the littlest of things and consider vulnerability attractive because it's all human. I still lack staying positive at everything eventful at times, but growth is all that.
The first thing I think about when anything good or bad happens to me is, "Oh! this happened for the best and any other alternative wouldn't have made me, me." I learn to accept it because that's what came of it. If you tried your best, and trusted the process, you should accept the result as the best possible one. God knows what is best in your favour and it is already written however, shown to you at a certain, suitable time.
Next, the thought I've taught to come to me at some bad outcome is not "Why didn't I think of this instead?" or "I should've done this" but "I took the right decision and I should be proud of it". This allows for positivity in whatever has happened. It is also appreciated by Allah because again, he knows the future and our peace should be placed in Qadar.
Finally, according to (Quran) 10:12, I try to keep my prayer as consistent as they were when I give my final year exams, or when my result is about to come out. Abandoning prayer in times of ease is just manipulating life. So, don't do that.
That's the quick reminder to whoever needs it!
