“At any given moment, you can choose to follow the chain of thoughts, emotions, and sensations that reinforce a perception of yourself as vulnerable and limited, or to remember that your true nature is pure, unconditioned, and incapable of being harmed.”Mingyur Rinpoche
In a work meeting, when faced with criticism or feeling vulnerable, you can choose to remind yourself of your core qualities like resilience and determination instead of dwelling on self-doubt, thus empowering yourself to respond in a constructive manner.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Philippians 4:8 encourages believers to focus on positive and empowering thoughts. By choosing to dwell on attributes that align with one's true nature as a child of God, one can find the courage to face criticism and vulnerability with strength and resilience.
