Meaning
This reads as a call to protect your inner life from whatever steadily weakens it. It can be taken to mean that not every voice deserves access to your attention, especially when it keeps pulling you away from your own growth. The line lands when someone is overwhelmed by discouraging people or draining habits and needs a firm boundary.
