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 a very drunk baseball fan who is cursing at the TV, spilling his drink all over the bar, getting into fights and quickly causing your blood pressure to rise. He's awful to be around and he has unfortunately taken a liking to you. Uh oh.
Even though you tried to get away from him, he is following you and you can't escape. Good lord. God help you.
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.
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 in the world did you miss Morgan Freeman? Because that loud 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.
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.
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 will certainly not regret it.
Listen away.
