 Success Reloaded
Subject: Success, Motivation
So the other
day I’m watching the movie The Matrix, again. For some reason I can’t get
enough of the great special effects.
Remember the
part where is Neo (Keanu Reeves) is mentally tortured because he wants to find
out what the ‘matrix’ is
and finally meets with Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) who has the answer he’s
been seeking, “ What is the Matrix?”.
Morpheus makes Neo an interesting proposition. He offers Neo two pills: a red
and blue one. He tells Neo that if he takes the blue pill he’ll remember
nothing and wake up the next morning in his bed as if nothing had ever
happened. But, if he takes the red pill, the secret of the Matrix will be
revealed to him.
Neo decides to
take the red pill (of course, it wouldn’t be much of a movie if he didn’t).
After taking the pill Neo finds himself in this other reality, outside the
Matrix, where he is free. He realizes that he was never really a successful
businessman but in reality he had been asleep; a slave to the Matrix all his
life. The Matrix is the hi-tech version of a man who wakes up after dreaming
he’s a butterfly and wonders if in reality he’s a butterfly dreaming he’s a
man. After taking the pill, Neo wakes up to his ‘real’ reality for the first
time after being enslaved in the Matrix all his life.
When I go
around the country speaking, I wish I could distribute such a red pill. As a
motivational speaker my goal is always to awaken people from their sedated
slumber, their numbness to reality. I strive to make my audience begin to think
in terms of possibilities and not impossibilities. To dream beyond the social
matrix of mediocrity.
Many of you
hate your jobs, but everyday after work what do you do? You sit in front of the
TV watching someone else’s reality. What do we do on the weekend? Go watch a
movie on a bigger screen. We watch the news and view alternate realities,
usually worse then ours. Why do we like the news, especially when it’s
negative? Because it makes us feel better to know that things could be worse.
Viewing someone else’s misfortunes on the news somehow quiets our desperation
for success and makes us feel better.
There is a blue
pill most take on a daily basis called ‘compromise’. Compromise comes about
when you simply choose to accept your role in life no matter how menial it may
be. Many of you feel that there is nothing you can do to change your life or
current situation, so you give up. You settle. You settle in for the rest of
your life never waking up to the reality of your potential, your possibilities.
In the end, Neo
discovers when he wakes up to his real reality that he had been lied to all his
life by the Matrix. All his experiences had been programmed and all his
emotions had been fabricated. I want you to wake up from your zombie-like
existence and believe that there is another reality, a Success Matrix where you
can have it all and be happy doing what you love. You are more than what you
think you are.
How do you plug
into the Success Matrix? First, you begin by believing that there is another
possible reality for you; a happy one at that. You then start feeding your mind
books or audio on motivation, success, wealth, happiness, prosperity and so
on. These items are the real ‘pills’ that can help you to find your way into
the success matrix and begin to create an alternative reality. One where do
what you love, and you love what you do. Take the pills quick!
People will say
you can’t, you shouldn’t, don’t, it’s not possible. Stop listening to the
programming. These naysayers are part of the bad programming filling your head
and trying to keep from succeeding. Don’t let it happen.
Reload success
by believing in a greater reality, filling your mind with positive information
and disassociating yourself from negative people. Wake up to your new reality;
a new possibility for your life. Wake up before it’s too late.

friend who may need a little bit of inspiration and motivation.
