2nd commitment - Do not take anything to the personal side
Whatever people do, feel, think or say, do not take it personally. If someone says you are wonderful, they are not saying it because of you. Even if others insult you directly, it has nothing to do with you. Do not take anything to the personal side. We are all positive or negative reflexes, direct or indirect of each other. When someone talks about us, it is in fact exposing himself, usually out of fear or ignorance. Even Buddha said that ignorance was the worst fault of the human being. Nothing others do is motivated by us, but for themselves. Don`t absorb insults, but also do not get carried away by flattery. It is the ego that makes these projections and to evolve we have to give light to ego and put it at the service of the Spirit. Learn to become immune to others' opinions.
