Every Time You Choose Convenience You Give Away A Little More Control
Rewards points, loyalty programs, buy now pay later services, fast food options and one of the latest trends that we see at restaurants and bars by simply scanning a QR code you can get $10 off your meal or drinks!
Did you know that these ‘convenient’ payment methods have a sinister agenda?
They are all being utilised to get you to spend digitally, compliantly, by a simple tap of your phone or app… you may not realise it, but you are being trained to spend digitally, stepping you away from utilising cash – from touching and feeling cash – and being led into a digital prison.
Look around you. Your entire world has been designed for your convenience. To make life easier for you…
You are kept busy, each day, every day. Work, life, kids, personal time (if you ever get any), that at the end of the day believe that you deserve a treat (in actual fact you have been trained to think you deserve a treat). On the way home from work you head to the gym, you work out and on the way home you get hungry… it’s late after all and after and you could barely envision having to go home and prepare a fresh healthy meal for yourself or your family… it’s much more convenient to pop into your favourite fast food ‘restaurant’ (term used very loosely) on your way home and when you pay with your fast food app you save money! But not only that… you get to arrive home, with your big bucket of take-away ‘food’, feed the family and put your feet up to relax all in the name of convenience…
What you don’t realise is that slowly and gradually over time you have been trained to accept a life of convenience (due to being time-poor) over a healthy, holistic way of life.
You have been trained to spend your money with points, apps, and in a digital format by conveniently tapping your phone…
You have been trained to scan your own items at the grocery store…
You have been trained that ‘fast food’ is convenient for you (and that cooking is hard)…
You have been trained that you don’t need to cook or prepare a healthy meal for you and your family…
You have been trained that everything you need in your life can be outsourced and so long as you have the digital tokens available you too can have everything you require to get through in life…
But…
What you don’t realise is that you have given away your freedom.
You no longer use cash to manage your finances, which means…
You no longer know how to count change, and that your children may have never even seen money…
You find that carrying a wallet or purse is an ‘old persons’ thing to do…
And worst of all, you can’t keep track of your budget because you don’t have clarity on how your money flows… you simply scan your rewards points, play ‘their’ games, and win… but you don’t…
What has actually happened is that YOU have lost so many vital life skills like cooking, budgeting, gardening and spending quality time with your family.
“The more you place your trust and faith on convenience, the more you separate yourself from your sovereignty and your freedoms.”
Digital rewards and payment via digital platforms erode your ability to effectively manage your own life in all areas, which creates stress and confusion within you, which is exactly what ‘they’ want because a stressed populous is a controllable populous. Everything from your choices, your diet, your freedom – whether you are aware of it or not, you have been dumbed down to accept that digital is the way of the future and that so long as you have your digital tokens, your digital way of spending, that life is good…
So what Andrew, who cares right? The world is going cashless and it’s up to us to get onboard right?
Well…
Think about what this ‘cashless’ and convenient life is costing you. A life of being over-stressed, overworked, underpaid, and everything ‘convenient’ at your finger tips to ensure that on your way home from work that what you earned that day, is eroded from your digital wallet on the way home…
The less money YOU have, the more YOU can be manipulated and controlled…
Everything in our society has been designed to take money away from you, but you may not realise this because it’s delivered in such a convenient way, and just like you ‘everybody is doing it’, so it must be OK right?
You need to wake up.
Convenience is a digital prison that exists to disarm you, to dumb you down, to remove your vital life skills and to get you to rely on ‘their’ systems, ‘their’ foods, and the life ‘they’ have chosen for you to live. Convenience in today’s society has shut down your ability to go within and ask the tough questions about you, what you want from your life, and what you want to do with your time whilst you are here…
Life is more than buy now-pay later, debt, tapping your phone to pay for stuff…
It’s time to stop giving away your freedom to convenience to make your life easier.
It’s time to reclaim your life – in all areas.
Learn how to garden.
Learn how to be self-sufficient.
Learn how to cook.
And most importantly, learn how to budget!
Learning to think for yourself whilst regaining control in your life is an absolute game-changer.
Remember that everything is hard the first time you do it. That’s why it’s called learning and ‘lessons.’ But the key is once you know how to do something, you know how to do something – and that means that you can’t be hoodwinked in future by what you ‘don’t know.’
And if you think I’m barking up the wrong tree when it comes to this convenient lifestyle, and you are pro-DigitalID and LOVE using your phone and digital tokens for payments… ask yourself this…
How will you and your family manage when the internet gets turned off or the power grid goes offline?
It’s time to wake up and live the life you were meant to. Start taking back YOUR control and live your BEST life.
