Twenty two years ago, The Matrix landed in theaters. As the opening sequence proceeds, Trinity finds herself on the floor at the bottom of the stairwell waiting for a trailing agent to come within range of a shot.
As the wait extends, Trinity utters the following lines to herself: “Get up, Trinity. Get up. Get up!”
Since the first (and second, third, and more) time I watched The Matrix that Summer, I’ve maintained that quote as a personal motivation to get moving.
Often we reach a point that requires taking the next step, where plans and preparations are complete and the only remaining step is executing the action.
It is easy to be paralyzed into inaction, or to take the day off instead of making progress. The only way forward is to force yourself to take that next step.
When lacking the initiative to continue, remember: “Get up, Trinity.”
