We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stay there, lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove lid again... but also, she will never sit down on a cold one any more.
--Mark Twain
"Last night I asked for help, but the person couldn't give it to me. Tonight I'm not going to ask because I'll be refused." Poor us! One person has rejected us, so now we've got the whole world rejecting us. We believe if one person lets us down, everyone else will too.
Such thinking, as negative as it is, can provide safety. If we believe we can't trust anymore, then we won't. But there won't be any growth in this kind of safety. By condemning everyone, we won't see those who want to help.
To find help we may have to ask several people. If a few people turn us away, we shouldn't give up hope. There are many flowers in the field of life, but to pick the best, we need to look at them all.
If I get rejected it doesn't mean I'm a bad person or no one can be trusted. It means I need to take another risk or maybe two.
AWESOME JANET!!!!
Janet,
You have no idea what this post means to me this morning. After my extreme disappointment with the job and the background check I have been left feeling so rejected scared and afraid to keep going with my plan. Your post speaks volumes to me. I must go on.
Love,
Jane

Nice post Janet! Thanks..
Jane...rejection is hard. There is no way around it...we wouldn't be human if we didn't feel bad. Being in Sales for 20 years...I have had more than my fair share of rejection!
What I have learned is that...there is a purpose...it makes you all that much stronger...and it certainly doesn't mean that you are defective!!! Please don't think that....what it really means is that it just wasn't meant to be.....
I am so sorry that you are feeling sad....recognize those feelings and then let them go! I think you are such a good person and your willingness to give that back to others shines....you will get what you deserve...we all do!! Sometimes it just comes when we least expect it!!
Keep on keeping on....hugs to you!!
