How To Bend Reality And Become Superhuman Like In The Movie 'The Matrix'

Did you ever see the move The Matrix?

The reason I loved this movie so much is there are so many parallels with life.

In the movie, 'the real world' is a simulation perpetrated by AI to keep us distracted and under control.

Not so different from our 'real world' where the media, politics, advertising, social media hacking our dopamine systems to keep us distracted and chasing an ideal reality that never seems to come.

In the movie, the Matrix (the simulation) is a computer program that has rules and boundaries called 'constructs' that keep people prisoner.

In our lives, we have outdated belief systems that we have bought into and work within that also keep us prisoner.

In the movie, during the training scenes, Neo gets distracted by the girl in the Red Dress, a perfect example of how easily we get distracted in life, especially as entrepreneurs. I call this 'Shiny Object Syndrome' and it comes in the way of success because it diffuses your focus and energy. 

Here are some examples of our own constructs:

❌ It's greedy to want money.
❌ You have to struggle for success.
❌ You have to hustle and grind.
❌ Wealth equals success.
❌ Degrees define intelligence.
❌ Self care is selfish.
❌ Failure is unacceptable.
❌ Success requires sacrificing family time.

A few more examples of constructs: fat makes you fat. All calories are created equal. You can't teach an old dog new tricks, women should stay at home and raise the children and men shouldn't cry. 

Think about how for 3 decades our own government told us to eat 9-11 servings of grains and bread leading to an epidemic of type 2 diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure and obesity. The greed of politicians (Nixon appointing an agricultural chair to give subsidies to Iowa farmers to get the early votes, and then pushing our entire nation to eat more grains, this killing millions with age related diseases). Whoa...that's deep! 

Once you start to realize that you are in the Matrix and held back by constructs, you can start to 'unplug' and bend reality.

In the movie Neo was able to learn to dodge bullets, run through walls, jump over buildings.

Not so different from how we can upgrade our operating system with High Value Skills that allow us to live longer, to become stronger, to make more money, to create better relationships, to find a way into any situation.

High Value Skills (skills not taught in school) that can help you massively leveling up in your life: 

• Course creation & Digital Marketing to make more money and change your financial destiny.
• Bio Hacking - understanding your body on the molecular level can literally extend your life and make you live longer. 
• Focus and high productivity - if this world is filled with distraction and dopamine addiction, then the ability to cultivate and retain attention is a superpower. 
• Sales - no matter how advanced AI gets, there will still be the need for us to sell services through influence, understanding the buyers journey and helping to solve problems. 
• Artificial Intelligence - this will replace a lot of jobs, but for the elite in so many industries, this will help them get even better if they know how to use it correctly. There will also be plenty of need to help bigger corporations understand how to effectively use AI. 
• Money Mindset & Financial Literacy - do you remember learning much about money in school? The reason is the traditional school model teaches people to be employees and not entrepreneurs. 
• Growth Mindset - understanding things like critical thinking, soliciting feedback, embracing failure and thinking out of the box will serve you well.

Imagine uploading some of those High Value Skills into your brain! Well good thing is, you can!

In the movie, Morpheus explains the rules of the Matrix to Neo and says "Some of these rules can be bent, some of them can be broken".

So if we all have the ability to do this, why don't we?
