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.
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 it is the fact that he is so damn loud you can't even hear yourself think! And I know what you're saying at this point..."I didn't ask for this he just showed up!"
Oh well. For the foreseeable future you're going to be stuck in this place. 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 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.
That's, your inner Morgan Freeman.
But if you lose focus and pay attention to the fan, you will never hear that voice. You will only hear negativity.
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 Morgan.
