Imagine for a second that you are in a loud bar having a really bad day. Are you there in your mind? Good, let's keep going.
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 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 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.
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 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.
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 lose focus and pay attention to the fan, you will never hear that voice. You will only hear negativity.
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 away.
