We take the things people say to us to heart whether intended to do so or not. Words have ways of sneaking past our defence mechanisms and penetrating deeply into our soul. We might try to disregard or shrug off the things others say to us, yet we find ourselves recalling the hurt, the sting, or the doubt those words stirred up. The words of a friend, neighbour or mere acquaintance can affect us for better or worse. Particularly when someone’s words rub us the wrong way, we need to take these words as light, and we will feel the peace. We will experience the freedom of being released from the hold these words have had on us. Don’t let the words of others inflict unnecessary harm on you. We say things we shouldn’t every day, never realising the mark we leave. And yet, the very thing someone said without thinking can so easily penetrate our hearts forever.
So don't just take someone else's words for it.
