Take a second to imagine that you're sitting in a pretty loud bar having a pretty crappy day. Alright are you there? Good.
To your left there's an outrageously drunk baseball fan screaming and yelling his head off, spilling his drink everywhere, and being absolutely obnoxious. Nothing is off limits and he suddenly has taken a liking to you and begins to pour out his dramatic life story.
Oh good lord now he's telling you about his personal life. Get this guy away from me! Unfortunately, you can't get rid of him.
So because you can't escape, you just sit there and take it. Minute after minute he is telling you everything that is wrong in his life and how much it sucks.
Unfortunately, you are permanently stuck with someone who loves to rant about their life and how bad everything is. They complain. They yell. They scream. It's an endless amount of madness.
Even though this is ruining your day, you might as well get comfortable.
So the interesting thing about this whole entire scenario, is that while you were in it, you didn't realize that Morgan Freeman was trying to get your attention all along. He was softly speaking to you in your other ear but you couldn't hear him because of this drunk fan grabbing all of your attention in your left year.
How did you miss Morgan? Because that drunk fan is a perfect representation of your internal critic.
It's a jerk. In fact, most of our internal critics (that negative voice in our mind) are incredibly vicious and know exactly what to say to destroy us. Then, there's the voice of your inner wisdom.
The voice of your inherent wisdom is soft spoken, low, deep and very powerful. If you focus all of your attention on the internal critic, you will never hear the wisdom of your wisdom.
That inner Morgan Freeman is the true guide of your life.
But if you are constantly paying attention to the negativity that is spewing out of the fan, you will never really get a chance to hear Morgan speak.
And not the love, passion, drive, and enthusiasm. So, today, take some time when things are sounding pretty negative in your head, and see if you can hear your inner Morgan Freeman speaking.
You won't regret it.
Listen to that voice inside.
