We Don't Have to Listen to Everything We Hear

 

Charles Spurgeon has a great quote about tuning out the noisy negatives:


"You cannot stop people's tongues, and therefore the best thing is to stop your own ears and never mind what is spoken...

We would say of the general gossip of the village, and of the unadvised words of angry friends--do not hear them, or if you must hear them, do not lay them to heart, for you also have talked idly and angrily in your day, and would even now be in an awkward position if you were called to account for every word that you have spoken, even about your dearest friend."
