It’s a story we could all write, it’s a script we have all read and it’s a page that all of us will turn again. The plot is centred around the universal experience of Rejection. 

Why me? 

What’s wrong with me? 

Why wasn’t I enough? 

What was it about me that they didn’t like? 

The sting of rejection can wound the most resilient of souls and can leave you questioning the very fabric of your being. But the truth is not all of our dreams are meant to be fulfilled and we are not everyone’s ‘cup of tea.’ But even more true, is that when one door closes there may just be a bigger and brighter door waiting to be opened. 

Whilst we can’t choose when, where or who rejects us, we can choose how we view it, as my guest this week on Flip It shares so beautifully. Patty LaRoche, is the author of ‘A Little Faith Lift: Finding Joy Beyond Rejection’-  who through her years as a high school teacher and as the wife of a professional baseball player, discovered the endless rewards to be found in rejection. 

My story/s of rejection won’t be the same as yours, but I hope that what you hear from my conversation with Patty, may help you to flip the script and look at rejection as nothing to be ashamed of or to fear, because when the sting fades, you too may even feel its beauty.
