Rejection is Protection

I came across the above quote recently and I find it very comforting to think that the Universe does indeed have my back. I have taken rejection badly over my lifetime. I find it incredibly painful and I understand that it started in childhood. During those formative years much happened that made me think of myself as worthless, unloveable and unheard. I have done much work on coming to terms with that which I have experienced or perceived as rejection. I can take it less personally these days, but I still experience the pain when first triggered. I now understand that this emotion will pass and I have skills to help me get to that place.
