Most people know how to let things slide.

When they hear gossip, petty criticism, or misguided advice, they might get annoyed for a moment—but then they shrug it off and move on.
But some of us take every word to heart.
We get pulled into other people’s emotions and end up feeling drained.
There are times when we should absolutely listen.
But life also throws plenty of noise our way—things better left unheard.
Let those words bounce off your ears.
Let them pass through without sticking, so you can stay open to what truly matters.
