WORTHY Inspirational Book

"Rejection is protection."

The author tells the story behind the "IT Cosmetics" branding that....

One investor once refused to invest in her company when asked why.

The responses received were:

"I don't think women buy makeup from people who look and shape like you."

At the time, IT Cosmetics was in a difficult time, and the business had little money left, and she wanted that investor to fall.

Because it could be the last chance of business...

But... six years later,

Instead, she sold IT Cosmetics to L'Oréal.

Which became one of the largest acquisition deals in the United States.

And because she didn't sell the stock to anyone before that,

Today, she remains the largest shareholder of the brand she created herself.

In retrospect,

Rejection that day...

Not a failure.

But it's "protection" from what it's not.

Think of every moment that...

You used to feel pain.

Someone who doesn't accept you into the group.

The one who overlooked you.

A job you want but can't.

A frayed opportunity.

Failure

Disappointment

Or even the man who betrayed you...

Maybe it's not "rejection."

But it's "hiding your values" from people who aren't worthy to see it.

You are not denied, but We hide your worth from them, for they are not part of your destiny.

Believe in yourself, and don't be afraid of change, because every lesson in your life

Is always taking us to the right path.

"Learning...Is change. "
