Buddhism: Rejection & Courage
In the face of rejection,
You must learn to be courageous,
It is important to believe in yourself,
Be like the sun,
Which shines on serenely even though not all the heavenly bodies reflects seems to radiate only into empty space,
While those who reject your friendship may sometimes fade out of your life,
The more you shine your light, the more brilliant your life will become.
(Credit Daisaku Ikeda for the philosophy)
