The Gift of RejectionНамуна

One of the reasons why I wrote The Gift of Rejection is because many of us have been hurt by wounded people who were rejected by wounded people.

Rejection becomes a vicious cycle of pain that gets passed down from person to person. I believe that being equipped to recognize and heal from rejection wounds is key to ending this vicious cycle.

“Hurt people hurt people,” and many times the rejection we experience in our life is because of the rejection our perpetrator experienced in theirs. But, although hurt people hurt people, healed people heal people.

Today, I want you to consider these questions:

1. How did your earliest experiences of rejection affect you; whether from a parent, friend, teacher, or someone else?
2. What did their rejection make you believe about yourself from an early age?

Think about this today and join me back here tomorrow as we discuss how rejection pain gets expressed in our lives.
