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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 away.
