To be stable means to be firmly set on the seat of self-respect. When we are stable in the seat of self-respect, we will be able to take criticism in the right way. If we work with ego, we will be upset by even a little criticism that comes our way. On the other hand, our stage of being in a stage of self-respect will enable us to learn from all situations. When someone criticises us, we need to tell ourselves that "I am a leader", for it is only a leader who is criticised. We should check and see if we can learn something from the comment that we get and incorporate it in our lives. If there's nothing for us to learn we just have to set ourselves in our seat of self-respect
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
