>>> I appreciate your confidence and positive regard for me, Rod.
<<< And I appreciate your hanging in there through my 6 years of blundering, around here and in these parts (other boards)...
Could it be that I see rejection as a clue on how to make it different so that it will work, and rejection is a signal to you that you are a "reject"??? Is it my (distant past) engineering background at play here, looking for ways to make things work better, or at least the way they were designed to do??? If that made any sense, how can it help you to look (and feel) past the immediousy of the rejection toward a bigger picture??? I want to know...
Picture yourself somewhere other than a Katrina survivor, living a life not like the 1 you have, but a different 1... What can you learn from the Dinah in that picture??? Or, how about 10 other Dinahs??? What could you learn from them???
It only takes 100 milliseconds (10th of second) to change your mind, permanently... Lab experiments over the last 10 years proves it... So, stop letting your life as you know it victimise you, please... Can you spare a 10th of a second???
Sorry if I am waxing "Social" or "Psych" instead of sticking to the purpose of the "Faith" board...
Rod
PS: I probably need to avoid this "Faith" board, since in the past its been a "mine field" for me to share at...
