Ok, last twitlonger....

"There's a saying that life's rejection is God's protection. It means that every experience is good for us and leads to our true life purpose, even if we can't recognize it at the time. Realize once and for all: We've all felt that sting of rejection! Yet the place where each holds that hurt is one of the biggest secrets we keep. So what's the gift just under the pain we hide to save face?

That gift is our true self. By masking our pain to save face, we actually lose our true face. Feel your rejection. Let the nobility of your honest emotions support you, and resist the temptation to withdraw and nurse your wounds in the darkness of dissociation and denial. The real, living world will nurse you to spiritual health if you let it. Sadly, we often mistake the object of our desire for that whole world, thinking only that object can save us. Trust that if you're feeling the smart of rejection, your ego has mistaken a short-term goal (like dating a particular person or landing a certain job) for your larger life purpose. Short-term goals are great, but if you focus on each bend in your road, you miss the view. Take heart, for even your inability to handle rejection just now must help you fulfill your true purpose or it wouldn't happen."
