To be chosen or NOT

"We have chosen someone else. Someone who more closely aligns with our needs." We all deal with rejection, don't we? I have told my children time and time again, "if you choose to share your personal life with others you must be prepared to listen to their opinion/advise/judgement because you have choose to shine the light within." The big Ha! - the process of an employment search is very similar in so many ways. The person in need must be an open book / they must share their accomplishments and failures with hopes that their sincerity with gain them trust. When the rejection comes..... Oh if we could just take it all back!!!
