Rejection can be killing.  It kills faster and more effectively when the victim is already lacking in some vital way.           - Patti Austin

 

Nobody likes being rejected, but rejection does not mean there is something wrong with you.  An early rejection can save you a great deal of grief later on.  Then there are those times when what you have is not really what you want, but you convince yourself to settle for it anyway.  Well, if the other person rejects you, you are saved from having to run away.  Rejection is only damaging when you start out believing you are not complete.  When you enter a relationship needy and unfulfilled, rejection can be a damaging blow.  In those situations you must not shrink away feeling defeated and afraid; you must ask what is it that this person has, and why you don't think you can get it anywhere else.  If you understand that you can only draw to yourself what you already are, you can see rejection in another light.  When you enter any relationship, you want to be and feel the best you can.  If you get rejected, it might simply mean you have a little more work  to do.

When I accept me no one can reject me.
