Receiving praise and criticism.

Since you are all equal and since you came from the same Spirit Source, to deny another is to deny yourself. By affirming with compassion, with nonjudgmental love, you are affirming yourself with love as well. Since every human being is divine, there is no place for exclusion of any kind.

When you are met with praise, it is to be received with humility, and when you are met with criticism, it is to be received with compassion. One cannot deny one's own divinity. One must never do so. Likewise, one cannot deny the divinity of anyone else, for you are all equal.
