Don’t be disappointed about the pain of rejection, because that is where all the growth comes from. Rejection gives you a growth advantage - Some of the toughest people we know have received the most rejection.I always listen before I speak.I never give unsolicited advice unless I’m asked.I ask questions to seek understanding before I assume, because I know not of another man or woman’s journey without asking what they have done to get to where they are. Let’s be more sensitive to one another as we traverse this life. I discovered my worth and learned to be persistent through rejection.
