Sometimes I think the point is not to escape the matrix,
but to become aware of it,
and let that awareness steer the course through the challenges that we face every day.
I think we are in the matrix for a reason; to learn, to confront what we do not want to see, and become masters of ourselves.

Try this,
when something goes wrong, an unexpected challenge, reflect on what you can learn about yourself by going through the experience.
I have found that more often than not, when the lesson is learned, the difficulty evaporates.
