An Even Keel · Steady Through Praise and Blame
Meaning
"Equal toward friend and foe, equal in honor and dishonor, equal in heat and cold, joy and sorrow, and free from attachment."
Explanation
An even keel through both praise and criticism, comfort and discomfort, is a quiet superpower — it keeps you from being endlessly tossed around by circumstances. That steadiness is built one small even response at a time.
Today's Life Lesson
If praise or criticism comes your way today, try responding with the same even calm to both.
