Marc (or, Morpheus) – another deep and thought-stirring post.
Isn’t this exactly what happened to Neo when he listened to the small quiet voice inside? He knew there was a matrix. He couldn’t see it, but he could feel it, and instinctively he knew the “truth” was out there somewhere.
Remember …God speaks to all of us. We hear him through our intuition. However we all too busy talking to ourselves. If we just stopped making so much racket and noise, and quit talking, we could hear him ….
“You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed, and believe what ever 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 you is the truth, nothing more”.
In 2011 … let us all have the wisdom and courage to take the red pill!
Nice work. This is why I always read your blog. You deliver lessons in the most unique format I have seen. This is a great story and I look forward to sharing it with my network.
What a beautiful post. The world does not understand that yes, we all have differences but we are travelling on this journey together. Share what you know or at least what you feel. In one way or another at some point everyone will need someone. You cant totally travel on this journey alone. Im learning to express my feelings because who knows, my thoughts could someday help another just like you post did for me today.
oh man this is awesome, i felt like i was the fisherman in the story only i am a lady. but nonetheless prisoner of my convoluted thinking, now i added one more cool word in my vocabulary thank you for writing such relatable stories. it’s epiphany everytime for us readers. we love you 😀 enjoy!
Much like the fisherman in your story, I experienced a moment of epiphany in my life that showed me exactly what I was put here to do. And also, just like the fisherman, I have been very reticent in stepping out and doing it, at least at the level I could be. Your post brought me right back to my own moment of epiphany.
I was just reflecting on the last year and how I made a decision to take a young man working for me into therapy even though in doing so I would revel to him and others who worked for me that I go to therapy regularly.
For a long time I hid my therapy appointments because I felt ashamed, but after taking the young man and helping him I realized that not only had I done the right thing for him but a tremendous burden had been lifted from me as well.
What a great story, may we all be inspired to take action and not be afraid to go against the grain.
“In all walks of life, you will never know when the world is ready,” he says. “You will only know when you are ready. And you will know when you are simply because you will take action and do something about it. And after you do something, you will know when there is more to do, because you will do more.”
So true !!
Thank you for this inspiring post. 🙂
great post, made me think, for sure. I am at a point where I feel I have a story to tell, but not sure the world is ready, not sure I am ready. Thanks for the encouragement to step forward and be ready when the time comes!
