I am a little confused about this paragraph in my chemistry textbook about thermal stability?

Is it basically saying that in Exothermic reactions, once excess heat is released from the compound it becomes more stable

But also in an endothermic reaction, if enough energy is absorbed the compound becomes more stable as well

So in spontaneous processes it's about reaching optimum stability based on heat?
