Let me start with a question --->
When I say the word "Rejection" what does it bring up in you and how does it make you feel inside of you?
What are the thoughts that immediately pop up in your mind? What emotions are loosed?
re·ject (rĭ-jĕkt′)
tr.v. re·ject·ed, re·ject·ing, re·jects
1.
a. To refuse to accept, submit to, believe, or make use of: He rejected their version of what happened. The store rejected the merchandise because it was damaged. Synonym refuse.
b. To refuse to consider or grant; deny: The manager rejected all requests for time off. The college rejected the student's application.
2.
a. To turn down (an applicant, as for a job); refuse to accept. (A conscious act of will! - Acceptance is what we all long for)
b. To refuse to accept (someone) as a lover, spouse, or friend.
c. To refuse to give sufficient parental affection or care to (a child or young animal).
Why do we actually feel rejected?
We were born with a hole inside and this needs to be filled up. We have a natural need inside to belong to someone or something.
We feel the need to be affirmed and accepted from everybody which is practically impossible, unfortunately.
We feel the need to please everybody just because we don't want to be rejected.
The issue with that is that when we start doing that we start compromising in a way that will change who we really are!
We need to be ourselves as much as this can cause to be rejected. At least you are free to be YOU!
“Trying to please everybody is impossible - if you did that, you'd end up in the middle with nobody liking you. You've just got to make the decision about what you think is your best, and do it.”
― John Lennon, The Beatles Anthology
It sounds a bit selfish and wrong - but I don't think it is at all!
We were perfect – now we are not perfect and we don't need to be! But we crave to be – now you are not and you will not be perfect - but you are on your way of perfection!
Especially among us women we should always be for one another and not fight each other.
We should be the greatest supporters and encouragers to one another. We should love each other and help each woman and girl to be herself as much as possible.
There is no need for you to prove yourself to anybody. Your calling is to simply be you!
You are already accepted and approved by being alive and breathing in an out. As long as you are breathing you still have a purpose and things to do here on the face of the earth.
You are so dearly loved and desired.
Here is what I want you to do:
Every morning when you look into the mirror - I want you to speak to yourself and say: “I am beautiful and I am precious. I am deeply loved and accepted. I don't have to proof myself to anybody. I am who I am for a reason.”
By Maria Patrizia Gruttadauria
