A glitch in the matrix?
Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Every day we come to you with little tips and tricks of the trade, hopefully to help you and your business to grow. So today we’re in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Tomorrow I’ll be flying back home. And today, I’m spending the night at a nice cozy little hotel room.
And I wanted to talk a little bit about a glitch in the matrix.
This is a concept that stems from the movie the matrix. If you haven’t seen the movie, the matrix, what are you doing with your life?
I’d go and watch the movie, the matrix. You’ve got to watch it at least once. Some people, may watch it more than once to get the gist of it, to realize that it’s, you know, it’s an analogy for other things and you can tie it to so many different things.
One of the things that happens in this movie, I’m not gonna go through the whole plot. For those of you who haven’t seen it, go and watch it. But one of the things is they’re inside this simulation called the matrix and he sees a cat walk by twice in a row and he says, well, Deja Vu.
And they said, what? What’d you say?
He said, Deja Vu. I just saw that cat walked by twice in a row. And they said, Oh no, that’s a glitch in the matrix, if the matrix was a computer program or what have you.
That’s the concept behind it is that whenever something happens that is, a concept of deja Vu is something, something feels like it happens twice.
But the way I see it is whenever something happens in life that comes up as kind of like serendipity, that it comes up out of nowhere complete accident, there’s almost always a reason behind it.
There’s always something that’s actually happening behind the scenes that you may not realize or there’s something really cool about to happen. So, I mean, one of the most famous examples, if you’ve ever heard anybody that was alive during September 11 2001 and they were supposed to get on one of the airplanes that crashed or they were supposed to be in one of the buildings that it crashed into and just some little mishap kept them from being there.
These are, these are these type of things. You can’t explain them, but if you’re anything like me, you, you believe that things happen for a reason.
The term serendipity is kind of, it’s corny because it says that the definition has to do with chance. But the way I see serendipity is it’s the good things that occur from not just chance, but from something a little deeper.
So this happened to me. The whole reason why I’m bringing this up is that I was not meant to…..well….it depends on how you look at it. But the plan was not to be in this spot right now. The plan at this time, was to be up in the air going from one airport to another on my way home tonight, little did I know, I misread the itinerary as this big long story about how the itinerary service that I bought my tickets through, must be British or something and they switch around the numbers for the date.
And so where the month goes, if you’re in America, where the month would normally go, the date was and where the day would normally go. The month was, and so I wasn’t paying attention to the month. The Monday would have been October. I mean it would’ve been November 10th from the way it read.
But I was just looking at the 10th. So I saw the 10th, and that’s Thursday, so I’m leaving on Thursday.
I’ll know it was actually, I was leaving on the 11th, which is Friday, which is tomorrow, which meant that I got there 24 hours early and I was deeply confused as to why there was nowhere to leave my bags.
The airline wasn’t even open.
So that’s a whole other story, but it put off a chain of events. I tried to get it switched, wasn’t able to get it switched. Everything else. I would set off a whole chain of events where I ended up staying later.
It ended up making the ability for me to be able to talk to people.
I wouldn’t have talked too. Wouldn’t be able to have conversations with people back at home. I wouldn’t have been able to have conversations with and so this whole chain of events that would not have happened had I actually gone according to plan and I would have gone on an airplane or I would have noticed the proper date and left at the proper time.
And really stayed another night back where I was back in West Virginia.
All that to say everything happens for a reason and whenever a huge mix up like that happens in my life, I keep my eyes open for reasons why it may have happened. Now maybe I’m completely diluting myself. Maybe life has nothing but a random joke of nature and there is no reason behind anything.
But for some reason there always seems to be something really cool that occurs whenever I encounter a glitch in the matrix.
The next time you encounter a glitch in the matrix, keep your eyes open. If you see life the way I do a little bit. You look for these little quirks in life and you’re looking for somebody to be able to communicate with.
Sometimes it’s just good to have a friend to just bounce ideas off of. In terms of business, my specific expertise is in business growth strategy. All forms of business strategy but specifically in the areas of growth is where I specify.
So you’re looking to grow your business, take it from where it is to where you want it to be and, just need some help and diagramming that out.
