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.
On your left there's an absolutely drunk-to-their-last-cell baseball fan screaming and yelling at the TV while spilling his drink everywhere. He's obnoxious, loud, angry, and completely out of control. To make matters worse, he's taken a liking to you and continues to yell in your ear everything about what's wrong with the game, how much the umpires suck, how much the players suck and everything else that is wrong in the world.
Even though you tried to get away from him, he is following you and you can't escape. Good lord. God help you.
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 that? Because that drunk raging fan...that's your internal critic.
That baseball fan is a complete jerk and knows exactly what to say to grab all of your attention and put it right into the garbage. It spews negativity and loves feeding on your insecurities. But Morgan is the voice of your own reasoning. The voice of your internal inherent 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.
What is he saying? How is he guiding you?
Listen away.
