Which Path Are You Following? The Script or Unscripted?
Have you ever read a book, where it feels like the author is speaking directly to you? Like they know exactly what's holding you back and what stage you're at?
The last couple of weeks MJ DeMarco been helping me unlearn so much crap (can I write that here?!) we get taught throughout our whole lives... it’s genuinely pretty scary when you think about it!
But it doesn’t have to be...
His second book unscripted is very similar to taking the “red pill” in the matrix.
If you haven’t seen the film (I literally forced Sah to watch that with me last night... again!) then crawl out of your cave and watch it! Don’t just look at it and be amazed at how bad the graphics are compared to what you thought watching it years ago...
No, watch it... take in the messages and read between the lines!
We are constantly fed this bullsh...tuff that we need to...
“get good grades, go to university to get into a pile of debt so that we can spend the rest of our lives paying down this debt with a terrible job that makes us believe we’re rich and get into more debt... by having a wedding that costs more than a small island, leasing a fast car and a getting a mortgage on a huge house in an area that we’ll never be able to afford”... and breathe!
What does all of this debt do?...
Forces us to stay at that job we hate... to pay for all of this junk!
But it’s not all bad.
Yes you need to work 5 days a week... "but you get 2 days off!!"
"Plus, in around 40-50 years time you might have a pension that can mean you get to “live it up” with your walking stick and a steady $2,000 a month to go wild in any museum you fancy!"
We’ve been taught “what to think”...
Not “how to think”
We accept this is “just how it is”.
After all, only “royalty and famous people” can afford to not live this script, right?
But what if there was a way that normal people got to choose HOW they spend their days?
What if normal people got to wake up without an alarm clock every day?
What if normal people could spend their time with the people they wanted and do things that genuinely help people?
Can you think of a way?

I read something similar recently Mike, called 'The Code of the Extraordinary Mind'. He called those same things Brules. BS Rules.
All the things we are taught and those we pick up that we aren't taught. It made a lot of sense.
Yeah it's pretty crazy isn't it!
Imagine if someone actually offered you life like this. What if they also offered the "alternative way of life" to everyone at school.
It is bananas when you really think about it
I follow the unscripted path, Mike! not only is it fun, but you never know what's around the corner!

What's an alarm clock? :-)
The Matrix really is thought provoking and hits it on the head in my opinion.
I'm enjoying my life much more now my way. :-)
Thanks for the post!

If gold was easy to find, we would all be rich today. The rules of the road, mining for wealth is rough, tough and UNSCRIPTED. To prove that point, try taking the path of what we think Bill Gates, Warren Buffett have taken. Duplicate their steps. We would be hard pressed to duplicate their achievements. These guys took the UNSCRIPTED path but hit the right path anyway. No matter how much we try, we will be presented with so many other choices to make. A few wrong turns and we are lost.
If we took a good survey of how many will RAKE IN real wealth here at WA, the numbers might be disappointing. I do not see many posts that show reasonable incomes...yet...maybe the really successful Wealthy Affiliates members are hiding their loot? : )
This is why being in WA is for fun, adventure and knowledge gathering...hoping to 'strike it rich' like good old gold prospectors of California. Here at WA, we are prospecting the virtual world for the cyber gold. NO guarantees. It all depends on individual efforts and a strike of luck?
LEARNING HOW TO CODE, CREATING KILLER APPS or simply understanding the online marketing world...could ONE DAY lead us to our cyber wealth...maybe.
Yes, it can get frustrating. BUT...no pain, no gain!
So THE BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE! HOLLER WHEN YOU HIT UPON THE HUGE NUGGETS AND LEAVE the smaller nuggets for the rest!
Great post Mike!

Very true Joe!
There are so many people that are doing amazing things on WA and there are tons of posts about their success and leaving little nuggets for the rest of us.
Keep looking out for them and here's a great place to start... 2019 Income Proof List
Thanks Mike!
I have run into this list before and started to read up. There is a ton of information here.
We need to narrow this list down.
Thanks!
