Hustle is what the Matrix trained you to think is required to succeed.
If they can get all of the rats hustling, no rat will have the required awareness to realize the whole game is rigged. The Matrix controls by molding and influencing your mind. That controls your feelings. And feelings control your future.
Rule #1 for Matrix survival is this:
Never accept the set of choices you are given by a system designed to control you.
No human is born doing this, so this habit has to be installed. This is why school was invented. If you don’t know the history (for some reason they don’t teach this in history class!), compulsory schooling indoctrination wasn’t a hit with the parents. The State had to pull out guns and march the kids to school in the early days, because the parents were too smart to just comply with the plan the Matrix had for raising brainwashing kids the way it needed them to be brainwashed.
The same game has been going on ever since then. It’s the threat of violence that keeps everyone in line. And it’s pretty much the same for just about everything you’re told you “have” to do. The “authorities” will deny this, but they’ll take everything you have if you don’t play along.
And we think we live in a civilized society. It’s the law of the jungle masquerading as something else.
The good news is that we don’t have to be violent to shift this. We just have to stop feeding the beast. That means giving it no more credibility. And no more energy with your awareness.
One place you can start, right now, is how you make decisions about your business and your life.
You didn’t come here to run someone else’s race. There’s a good chance you didn’t even come to run.
Don’t fall for the hustle virus. Some people thrive that way, most don’t. For most, it’s tiring, unrewarding and a complete waste of time.
Take a breath. Slow down. Look around. Feel what it’s like to actually be alive, in a body, with limitless opportunity in front of you. What is the dream you have in your heart? How can you build a business that achieves that dream by becoming of service to other people? Those are the questions to ask, not which app you should use to manage your todo list.
Hustling is what you do when you don’t trust yourself. When you aren’t quite sure that you have enough value inside to create the life you want to live.
HUSTLING isn’t the answer. Developing trust in yourself is the answer.
I wonder why they don’t teach THAT in school?
