I don’t know if any of you have seen the film ‘The Matrix’ starring Keanu Reeves? It is a film about how machines have taken over and that the world that we live in is a computer generated realm to keep the minds of humans occupied, whilst humans are the power source for the machines in the real world, kinda like batteries. It’s a great film and possibly the reason why DVD was created!

Anyway, I was chatting to 2 customers on friday night. I had never met them before, but we got on so well from the go that we decided to go for a drink over the road in the pub. Obviously there were the ‘getting to know each other’ questions and the guy, Logan, pulled no punches and was very direct. Tbh, I kinda like that, because meandering chit-chat bores me and I am pretty hard hitting with opening questions too, my favourite being  ‘so what’s the goal?’

As I was recounting my aims and objectives to them, it dawned on me that, to be financially free is akin to exiting the matrix. Being an employee, getting a good grade at school, getting a good job etc, is all wool pulled over our eyes.. It is what we are ‘supposed’ to do. It is working for the system, not necessarily working for yourself. To have a predetermined path laid out for you by someone else, or as we call it ‘a career’, is probably not what would be best for you, given all of the possible options.

The girl, Katherine, was telling me how she wanted to refurbish computers and send them out to schools in Tanzania, where she has been to work before. Ofcourse, I jumped on the idea and tried to route out why she hasn’t started doing it already, to which she had to back down and say that there was no valid reason. This is where my epiphany came! Once you have ‘exited the matrix’ you can turn your time and education to any project that you like, that you may be useful for and have no need to charge! Because all of your bills are covered by passive income, you have true free time, plus the stuff that you have learned on your way there is surely valuable to start-up projects all over the world!

I got excited and love the idea of that, to be of use, hopefully, to other peoples projects and be able to invest my time for no cost incurred.. I bet you could find some amazing projects to be a part of!!

Just thought I would share that with you
