Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note.It was from his wife.It read:“Congratulations,my love!I knew you’d get the raise!I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you.I am so proud of your accomplishments!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.
After dinner,Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor.He bent forward to pick it up.It read:“Don’t worry about not getting the raise!You do deserve one!You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.”
Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew’s eyes.Total acceptance!Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.
The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.
