What I know is that you can’t figure out which way to go by looking at the direction someone else is going.
Someone else has nothing to do with you. They’re going their own way. And there’s a good chance that the way you see them going isn’t even the right way. They didn’t know the right way so they just looked at what someone else was doing and followed that.
This is how the Matrix traps you for an entire lifetime. By convincing you the path you should walk already exists.
You would think we’d be living in an age where being able to see so many examples of success and achievement coming right through our phones and computers would make discerning your own path easier. It seems to be the opposite.
When the interwebez shows you that basically everything is possible for someone, how are you supposed to choose which way is right for you?
When someone shows up and tells you that “all of the answers are inside of you,” that can make you want to slap that person. Eventually, you realize that’s true. And that you’ve been trained your entire life never to find those answers.
It seems we’ve come to a point in the evolution of humans where many people are no longer able to tolerate living a life they don’t want to live. They know something is “off,” because they can feel it.
I used to think this feeling was a problem. It took me quite a few years to learn to welcome it as a clue. A clue that change was required to step into a new, better and fuller version of who I’m here to be.
The good news, and the bad news, is that there is no competition on this path. No one else wants to be you. No one else is equipped to do that.
There is, however, a spectrum of expression that you should think about.
You can realize 10% of your full potential, or you can realize 100%. Those numbers lead to very different types of businesses and lives.
Whether you live out the 10% or the 100% usually has something to do with fear and how much you allow it to control you.
If the Matrix trained you well, fear will keep you small until the day you leave this plane.
If you can find your way around the training, you have a chance to live a life most people don’t even think is possible.
When you summon the guts to start walking on your own path, this can present quite a few challenges, especially in the business world. For most people, the question isn’t so much “how” to do it, it’s exactly what to do?
Instead of pulling this information from books, courses, or the endless “trail to nowhere” of YouTube videos, why not focus on getting the answers from the only person who has them?
Go stand in front of the mirror, and look at the source of all of your answers. Ask that being the questions you need answered, then go about your life and stay alert enough to see the answers as they are presented to you.
This is a different way of living and working. A magical way. A way the Matrix says is silly, impractical, not useful, even irresponsible.
If you want to believe a machine that thinks you’re a slave, go ahead. If you want to be free, content and fulfilled, you need to make different decisions.
