Nothing Comes To You By Accident.

Hi everyone.
You know, every time I feel low or discouraged about something I get an email about a recent Secret Story and how it helped someone overcome or achieve something that happens to be something I am also going through at the time. Coincidence? I think not! The Universe answers our questions in mysterious and interesting ways and for me, it usually happens through other people’s stories or some random quote that just speaks to me.
I used to be in one toxic relationship after another until I realized I was attracting them by my behavior and by doing that I would date the same guy but with different faces and expecting different results. Once I realized this, my attitude changed and I became aware of my thoughts and the people I was attracting in my life.
I learned that rejection has nothing to do with me and everything to do with the other person. When someone rejects you it means they want something different, not that there is anything wrong with you. If you don’t get the promotion it means they have a particular selection criteria that they prefer, just like you have preferences when it comes to the kind of partner you want and the kind of job you need. If someone is looking for a tall blonde girl and I, as Shakira, show up and they reject me, they are not saying I don’t want Shakira as a person. They just prefer something else, it is nothing personal.
Thank you!
