It is perfectly acceptable
To close the door
On those who want to bring you down
It is okay to brush off the hurtful words of those
Who do not speak the truth
It is a gift to be able to know your own value
To be humble
In the sense of having a grounded realistic knowing of your self
Some criticism may be constructive
And then it pays to open the door
If there is something new to learn
Or something to gain by finding another way
But this I say
Always trust your own heart
And your inner knowing
Because when all is said and done
When you close the door at the end of the day
You are the one you must come home to
And be at peace with
Emerging From The Dark Night 
Oh I love this! So, so true. ❤
