How To Stay Focused Despite The Haters | Gaur Gopal Das

Genuine appreciation can uplift ✨ Toxic insults can drag us down 🔥 But both — praise and criticism — can become distractions. Praise can inflate the ego. Insults can trigger revenge. The Bhagavad Gita reminds us: rise above both. Here’s how: – Stay purpose-driven, not popularity-driven – Use praise as feedback, not identity – Treat insults as information or ignore them – Build inner validation through self-reflection – Anchor yourself with meditation and service Use praise to fuel humility, and insults to deepen inner strength. But don’t live for either. Live for your truth. P.S: Accepting genuine appreciation is healthy — as long as it doesn’t inflate the ego. And in the real world, learning to deal appropriately with repeated insults or abuse isn’t optional — it’s essential for self-respect and emotional well-being
