Take a second to imagine that you're sitting in a pretty loud bar having a pretty crappy day. Alright are you there? Good.
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 instead of doing anything you just sit there and take it. The guy is all over you telling you his sob story and how bad his life is. You don't get to survive any sparing of detail. He is telling you everything.
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.
What's interesting about the entire engagement is that while you were stuck listening to this drunk fan, you didn't realize that Morgan Freeman was in your other ear trying to get your attention. Morgan Freeman?! Yes, the soft speaking and deeply passionate man who was trying to whisper words of wisdom to you.
How did you miss Morgan? Because that drunk fan is a perfect representation of your internal critic.
It's a jerk. In fact, most of our internal critics (that negative voice in our mind) are incredibly vicious and know exactly what to say to destroy us. Then, there's the voice of your inner wisdom.
That internal wisdom tells you which path to take, how to act, how to get in and out of situations and what to say to deeply touch other peoples hearts. But it's voice is much lower and softer than the drunk fan's and it takes some attention to really hear.
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.
There will be no voice of love, passion, drive and enthusiasm. So instead of listening to all of the negativity today, take some time to tune into a much more powerful frequency.
You will certainly not regret it.
Listen to Morgan.
