"Matter". Matter like people, places, things, atoms, or protons and electrons...and what we were taught regarding all things matter.... isn't true! Quantum Physics is a peek into the world of answers. Don't watch the DVD/theatrical version, but DO watch the interviews (by quantum physicists, theologians, college professors, scientists, etc) found on the other side of the discs of "What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit hole" DVD. It will amaze your socks off. I recommend to watch it several times in order to comprehend some of the concepts. I repeat do not waste your time watching the theatrical version/movie. I've probably watched each interview about 15 times. Each time I watch it, my comprehension is like art...I pull something different away from the interview, or I make a new connection with what they are saying. Nutrition for the mind.
You. Everything they've taught you is wrong. We're in the matrix.
They've taught you that to be mediocre is successful. To be apathetic is the norm; love Fridays and hate Mondays. You learned to color within the lines, wear business suits in brown, grey, taupe, and black shades, speak in sleepytime monotone, be a willing participant in "groupthink", follow the rules; get A's on your tests and papers, and wait in line for your turn. They teach you to improve your weaknesses, and challenge yourself to be well rounded. They've taught you degrees and licenses = success. Take advantage of the matrix, instead you should be working on your strengths, honing them to perfection, a la Michael Jordan, Gary Vaynerchuk, Bill Gates, Mozart, Oppenheimer, Mother Theresa, Sun Tzu, Warren Buffet, etc. It's your heart, hustle, and perseverance that fuels successful actions and results. Be yourself in whatever color suits you, speak as though you were speaking to a family member jovially, keep in mind there is no line to wait in nor does any line exist; bend the rules; don't be concerned with A's or D's instead always take away knowledge and learnings from whatever event, moment, experience that crosses your path. And that is just some.... only some ways to start using the matrix.
