Take a quick second to close your eyes and imagine that you are in a very loud bar having a horrible day. When you get there, let's continue moving forward.
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.
You want to get away from this guy as fast as possible but you can't get rid of him. You're stuck. Good lord.
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.
The worst part about all of this is that you can't even get a second to yourself to think. You came to that bar to watch the game and relax, not to hear someone ranting about their life.
Too bad. For the foreseeable future, you're stuck with him. Oh common, stop sulking...you're letting him get to you.
The entire time you spent listening to this fan you failed to realize that Morgan Freeman was sitting on your other side trying to give you some advice about how to get out of this conversation. But, because your attention was so focused on the fan, you failed to hear the other soft speaking voice.
How did you miss Morgan? Because that drunk fan is a perfect representation of your internal critic.
It's a total jerk. It's the one thing in your life that always knows exactly what to say to bring you down and put you into pieces. But Morgan, he'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.
Your inner Morgan Freeman is the guiding voice of your life.
But if you constantly focus on that drunk fan, you're never going to be able to hear Morgan speak to you. You'll only hear the negativity, doubt, jealousy, hate...
Instead of tuning into all of that negativity, take some time to adjust and try to hear your inherent wisdom speaking to you.
You won't regret it.
Listen to Morgan.
