Your foundation grows stronger by not running away because it's very difficult to stay. Your foundation is simply being yourself. Whether people like you or not, you're still yourself. You meet all kinds of people. You May get along well with one group, while another group exposes your weaknesses. Yet another group May bring out your strengths. That can be very uncomfortable for people who aren't true to themselves. If you have a solid foundation, you're true to yourself. You don't worry about what other people think of you. You don't need their approval, nor are you bothered by their disapproval. It simply doesn't matter. You have to be true to yourself. We are who we are. None of us is perfect. You can't hide. You can't pretend. Sooner or later, your true self will emerge. When people are confronted with their own failures, they often run away. They say, "I can't face myself. I don't want people to criticize me, reject me, or judge me." So, to come back to your question, as long as you don't run away—even though it's uncomfortable—you are building your foundation. It's like crossing your legs because you're uncomfortable. Every time you do that, you're trying to escape a little discomfort. But that's not how you build a foundation. You build it by enduring the discomfort. As long as you stay and don't run away, your foundation will become stronger and more solid.
