Inevitability.

I remember that word from The Matrix. Agent Smith had Neo in a headlock and a train was coming.

Well, it's not quite the same here! Nobody has got me in a headlock and there's no train coming. But in other ways, there's a lot of comparison.

I've been stuck in the "Matrix". I've heard many rumours about another "world". A world where you can work for yourself, doing something that you enjoy, working on your time and get rewarded for it. No longer tied down by the shackles of another's goals, but striving towards your own.

I was introduced to Wealthy Affiliate by some who had themselves enter this new world and found answers and success. So I was intrigued and went to find out more...

I found that everything that I had heard appeared to be true. It looked right. It felt right. And then came the decision:

Do I take the red pill or the blue pill?

Suddenly various questions, doubts, trepidations, fears and manner of mental phenomena bombarded my mind. Would it work? Do I have what it takes? Is it a scam? Will I be able to see it through? Have I had the wool pulled over my eyes? I am not just destined to work for somebody else and live a life of mediocre drudgery?

This has happened before. Many times. With different opportunities that I've tried and each time I took the blue pill. And where did that lead me? To Wonderland? No. Back into the Matrix. Back into the headlock of the corporate Agent Smiths, threatened to death by the oncoming "inevitability".

Well, as all of us know who have watched The Matrix, Neo did NOT go down that track. And niether am I!

I took the RED pill!

I'm now a PREMIUM member of Wealthy Affiliate!

And that feels good...

(If you're not a PREMIUM member yet, I definitely recommend it.)

(And if you haven't watched The Matrix yet, I thoroughly recommend that too!)

Hey Scott, I have been down some of the same roads you have, and you are 100% right. However, like you, I feel something special about this opportunity. I'm with you all the way. Success never comes easy, but if we put in the hard work I am positive it will pay off! Good luck to you on your success!

Hey Scott, congrats on going premium! Matrix films, awesome - good shout! :) Sandra

Thanks Sandra!

Great blog post! I second the previous comment - you are a good writer...nice tie-in to The Matrix!

Warmly, Heather

Thanks Heather! You know what it is, I'm not a writer. I think what's happening is that I'm starting to really get close to where my passion really lies and it's bringing the "writer" out in me! I think that's the key - if you're passionate about something, you'll just know what to write and how to write - it flows....

You're right, Scott - when you love what you're doing, it feels effortless. Keep on flowing!

Nicely written article. I am with you on both - going premium and the watching Matrix part :)

Thanks!
