Hi Marcus,<br /><br />I finished the transcription for your post.<br /><br />My mother lives by the theory that "When a door closes, you have to go through a window". I understand more now than I did when I was younger. Sometimes we're so focused on what we want or where we want to be in our lives, we don't think about how we're going to get there and ultimately stop living in the moment.<br /><br />When it comes to rejection, those in marketing will tell you that "Every no brings you closer to a yes". I don't know how much I believe it and it doesn't apply to every situation but it is something I find myself saying every so often.

Marcus, I was impressed with your realization of rejection. As a child rejection is very critical especially if it comes from a parent. Unfortunately, as an adult rejection will follow us based on our lifestyle, action, expectations, or circumstances. However, I admired the fact that you realize that you put yourself in the position for someone to be able to reject and dictate your life. Keep in mind, that is is temporary control that they have over you and your life. At the end of the day, GOD is control and will dictate our destiny not man. Take care.<br /><br />Cathy E.
