Our mindset can be limited by our belief, and our belief can be limited by our mindset. In this episode, we dive into the topic of faith, since believing without seeing is crucial to maintaining a positive mindset when the going gets tough.
The movie the Matrix, written and directed by the Watchouskis, and distributed by Warner Brothers, debuted in 1999. This movie, known for its visual effects, also carried with it a unique story line. Neo, the main character, has to go up against an “agent”. Agents are ultra fast and strong. Neo, in a pivotal scene, takes on the characteristics of an agent, because he “begins to believe”. He has faith!
While some of this episode is theory, it has shown many people the way to success. But, they only find success through definite action. Quotes by some of the most well known writers on this topic (Napolean Hill and James Allen) lend a unique perspective to this powerful concept.
Have faith, take action, and move like an agent.
Be well,
Chuck Ross
