Simple Steps To Changing Your Life and Gaining Your Freedom

Don’t waste your life away watching tv, playing games, and being passive. Many men don’t realize their full potential. It gets beaten out of us in our relationships, workplaces, and at home with all the distractions of the modern world. It is in our nature to want to achieve more and live lives of freedom.

For example, in "The Matrix," Neo embarked on an educational journey, mastering martial arts, weapons, and breaking free from mental constraints. Once trapped within the Matrix, he was just another poor man living inside of a life he didn’t want.

There are steps to breaking free and living the life you want:

1. For Neo, after receiving an ominous message, promising more, he decides to take a chance. Taking a chance to live differently than you have been taught, than everyone else lives, and to find your own way without support, is the first step.
2. Then, you must find a path, whatever it is, and pursue it without looking back at comfort.
3. Third, you must acquire the skills and knowledge associated with the goal. There is a steep learning curve at first, where you must dive in head first learning everything you can through trial and error. You will fail, multiple times, but that is the required step to succeed. You must learn what doesn’t work, in order to learn what does.
4. Fourth, you must take what works, repeat the process, evolving as you go, and tracking your metrics. Never stop improving and trying new things. If Neo never tried to fly, he would never have become the unstoppable force he was destined to be.

His transformation from an average guy to an unstoppable force is a testament to the power of learning.

Learning new skills isn't just about martial arts or fighting agents. It's about enhancing your life in every way possible. Learning is about education, but also failing throughout the process to learn what works and what doesn’t.

By acquiring new skills, especially those relevant to everyday life and the future, you can greatly improve your life. We must find the skills that are becoming more relevant, in order to keep ourselves relevant. We have seen the rise of youtube, AI, the internet, and social media over the past two decades. This is where the future lies, and in order to become successful, we must learn the skills that power these tools.

Here's a list of skills we all must learn to stay relevant today and into the future:

1. Graphic design for creating the images and design of the internet.
2. Coding is the language of the internet and the applications that run on it, which allows you to customize and create website, apps, and more.
3. AI. AI is the future of the human race and is evolving rapidly. Now is the time to get into this field and watch how you control the future. AI is being implemented into every system currently. Don’t get left behind on this one.
4. Video production. This is good for effective communication, seeing as how Youtube has become the second most used search platform - not only for questions and problems, but also for entertainment. People are mostly visual, meaning video production will continue to grow in influence and importance.

But beyond the digital realm, men need essential life skills. We must learn the fundamental skills that will allow us more freedom, and the ability to be self reliant. If the internet ever goes down or money becomes a problem, we must learn to do the things that will keep us and our families protected.

1. How to fix cars and problems around the house. We must able to learn handy skills to save money, time, and know how these things work.
2. Learn effective communication skills. The is used in all situations with our children, wives, colleagues, bosses, family, etc. We must learn to navigate others emotions, desires, how to communicate our needs, and to lead others to a common goal.
3. Emotional control. This is the skill of allowing ourselves to feel the emotion, but not let it overwhelm our critical thinking. We must be able to analyze our emotions and act in accordance with minds.
4. Physical fitness. A strong body creates a strong mind. We must exercise and be fit in order to protect our families, be attractive to people, show discipline, and to help our bodies regulate so we can live long, healthy lives.
5. Combat sports. We must learn to protect ourselves and our families. No matter how advanced we get as a civilization, there will always be those who are willing to harm us and our loved ones. This trait can not be understated.

All in all, learning skills is your key to personal growth and empowerment. Just like Neo, you have the potential to break free from constraints, learn the skills of tomorrow and become unstoppable forces in your own lives.
