In the 'Donas da Voz' videocast, guest Kelly Gusmão shares an essential life philosophy for women seeking success and well-being: ego deconstruction. Livia Matos welcomes Kelly for a deep conversation about how balancing praise and criticism is crucial to staying focused on one's purpose and building a solid career path.
Emotional Balance: Kelly Gusmão's Middle Path
Kelly Gusmão reflects on the great responsibility of being a female role model in the financial market, something she lacked in her youth. Inspired by Buddhist philosophy, she constantly seeks the middle path, a state of balance that prevents both being dazzled by praise and being shaken by criticism. According to Kelly, life will offer us many applauses, but also boos, and how we react to them defines our journey.
Dealing with Praise and Criticism: Stay Grounded
It's easy to get carried away by praise. However, Kelly warns that excessive vanity can leave us vulnerable. If we drop our guard, life can deliver an unexpected "right hook." Similarly, an excess of criticism can make a woman "wither," losing her self-esteem and straying from her original purpose. The secret, therefore, is not to ignore, but to not be dazzled nor be shaken.
Ego Deconstruction to Maintain Purpose
Ego deconstruction is key to navigating these challenges. It allows a woman to remain centered, connected to her true purpose, regardless of external circumstances. This process of self-knowledge and resilience ensures that neither the peaks of success nor the valleys of difficulties divert her from her path.
The modern woman's journey demands resilience and self-knowledge. Kelly Gusmão's message is an invitation to reflect on how we deal with external validation and adversities, always seeking balance for a full life with purpose.
