To be stable means to be firmly set on the seat of self-respect.
Contemplation:
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.
Application:
When someone criticises me, I need to tell myself that I am a
leader, for it is only a leader who is criticised. I should check
and see if I can learn something from the comment that I get and
incorporate it in my life. If there's nothing for me to learn I just
have to set myself in my seat of self-respect.
