“Rejection is God’s Protection”

Is that an awesome quote? I wish I could claim is as my own, but I got it from the book my Authentic Self Bookclub just finished reading, “Happy for No Reason: 7 Steps to Being Happy from the Inside Out” By Marci Shimoff. Don’t let the fluffy title fool you, this is the best of ALL self help books combined. (I judged the title, and in fact, the books sat on myself for over 6 months before I decided to read it. I thought it was “just another book about happiness” SOOO NOT the case.)

Anyway, this blog post won’t be terribly profound, but I was thinking about the discussions we had last night about the book and I opened the book up to share a quote I loved (a different quote) and turned to this page. There it was shining back up at me.

You never know how stuff will work out in the long run, but if you believe in yourself and keep the faith, everything will work out. In fact, one of the main characteristics of happy people is that they believe the universe is out to support them.

So the next time you’re frustrated or worried about something not quite turning out the way you want it too (or flat out failure), just remember that rejection is God’s protection.

Have a great day everyone!
