The reason I began training in the martial arts in fact.
I thought the training regime the actors went through for the movie was amazing.
The main character "Neo" is constantly searching for answers to what the Matrix really is.
He is so determined to find out what the Matrix is that he is contacted by a man who claims to have the answers to all of his questions.
He is told that he cannot really be told though, he can only shown what the Matrix is.
He is given an option.
"You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more"
Taking the blue pill is like admitting to yourself things are gone to shit and you still pretend you are fine because you are frightened of change.and feel safe where you are.
But your stuck in the Matrix then....
Taking the red pill means you admit things are shit and you are ready to change and want out of it.
Every day is a new adventure where nothing will ever be the same again and you never know what's next.
Life is a lot more exciting and fulfilling when you live it that way.
By the end of the Movie Neo discovers that he is "The one"
The saviour of his people in the real world and has unlimited power to help others who want out of the Matrix like he did.
Even though all throughout the Movie he doubts himself not believing that he has what it takes to be the hero.
In the end his own self believe is what quite literally brings him back from the dead after being shot numerous times by the baddies and he saves the day.
He changed his mindset and refused to lie down and die!
Are you stuck in the Matrix?
Do want to get out?
Are you waiting and hoping for someone to come rescue you?
I have News for you.
Nobody is coming to help you.
Help yourself. Be your own Neo
Your own saviour
Your own hero
You need to put the message out there like Neo did that you want something before you can begin your journey towards getting it.
So which will it be the blue pill or the red pill?
