What's more toxic than what they have done, think, or have said about you is how you let your mind receive it. In a world as ours filled with so much noise and hate, what suffers the most is our minds. Know when to keep your mind shut!

About This Quote

To say a person is toxic is to say a person is a poison, a toxic person causes the greatest harm that can be done to another person. The best way to deal with people who have been negative towards us is to know when to let your mind shut. In other words, how you let your mind receive their words and actions determines whether or not you will continue to be affected by them. When you keep your mind open and listen to their words, it makes it easier for you to get hurt by them even more.

This happens because the next time they say something negative towards you, your mind will be preoccupied and won’t be able to focus on what you should be doing at the time. So, know when to keep your mind shut!
