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 you just sit there with your head resting on your arm listening to this guys sob story about how bad life is and how everything is going to fall apart.
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.
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.
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.
It tells you which path to take, what to do, and how to be in situations that will resonate deeply with your core and allow you to continue being yourself. Its voice is much lower, softer (but powerful) and takes some time to tune into...
Your inner Morgan Freeman is the guiding voice 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 to Morgan.
