Our ability to retain our Dharma (values), yet get the job done. It could also be the ability to challenge the status-quo without compromising Dharma of others, making them insecure such that they react without considering the fall-out of their actions.
How often do people come out of meetings, discussions, or conversations feeling stressed, utterly frustrated, steam-rolled and exhausted? The reason: inability to stand up to one’s own point of view resulting in being forced to work in a direction that is outside one’s zone of comfort/values/Dharma.
Such situations unleash frustration, anger and stress in everyone. Ability to stand up for one’s point of view requires courage, conviction, ability to face fear, ability to sacrifice and willingness to act on one’s beliefs. This needs to be done without triggering a violent reaction in others.
