It’s one thing to have someone else reject you and another for you to let them.

Your life is not an election.

Others – some of whom may harbor jealousies or other evil thoughts – succeed when we allow ourselves to feel rejected by actions or words – at work, in relationships, everywhere.

Don’t allow rejection by others to define who you are or how you feel – you are better than that.

Don’t give others the power to shame.
