No division? Showing a violent confrontation between police and BLM? And you say no division? Maybe not his words but the video they showed was it certainly had its sheriff division there.
He has lived in Texas for years even teaches in one of the Texas universities. He is raising his family in Texas not Hollywood. He is grounded unlike the majority of actors in Hollywood.
No wonder why he had something to say and worth listening to. If he was from liberal toilet bowl NY his message would be wear a mask, close your business, don't go to school and stay stupid for the rest of your miserable life. For advise look no further than the Global, EMMY awards, the NFL and the NBA.
@dimitri krykos and why do you not think he is where he is today because of these things he has mentioned?? I agree with you in principle though. Most wealthy people say things they wouldn’t if they were destitute. BUT. Ask yourself... are things like what he claims is his outlook on life, the reason he is where he is??
There are a lot of rational people in Hollywood, they just do not dare speak out. It's the loudmouth radicals who get the promotion, etc. This according to Matt McConaughey himself.
@Joseph Gemin I don't know that much about his history, but a bad mental or substance-abuse episode doesn't permanently disqualify someone from having some introspection. As for being naked? Well, I'm a Naturist. (philosophically, at least ;D)
That's good no doubt but I've found "there is freedom commitment" ...seems counterintuitive I know. But it allows one to focus on the important values, people, and habits in life while letting go of the frivolous or wandering eye shoot from the hip type lifestyle and be free with whatever you've committed to.
@@nickfrost9771 He doesn't seem to like the Hollywood ideas and agenda. Nothing from what he said here aligns with liberal and cancel culture, for all the wrong reasons, Hollywood. You can't put Mathew in the same pot as the rest of the Hollywood assholes, he has said a few things in the past that were actually worth listening to. In fact, I can't believe that he hasn't been cancelled.
These interviews and speeches by McConaughey are very uplifting duringa dark time. He's a far, far deeper thinker than people have given him credit for. And he's right: challenging yourself, working hard, and taking personal responsibility for your life are vital to living your best life. He keeps it real and deserves his career. God bless him.
@@cathygibson5157 Maybe Jesus is the challenge being avoided. There are plenty of others too though. Did Jesus just blurt out the word "wrong" and reference himself and were there no challenges before he existed? I'd imagine the cave men or whomever had plenty of them.
@@cathygibson5157 That's true too. But first you must want to meet Jesus and find God, so you need a me or you to make that possible when the parents can't or won't.
I went through the teenager "I'm so bored" phase. My mother told me, "If you're bored with yourself, just think how other people feel about you." Never been bored since.
When you spend enough time alone, this is what happens. Truly inspiring and eye opening. Hopefully other people are able to recognize what made him the way he is today. Solitude.
i was used to chase girl after girl, looking for a person to fulfil my heart, fill that void inside. I was not able to stay alone for 2-3 months. after breakups, i realize that if there is no love inside me, i cant love any1 for long. that circulation destroyed my soul. this time, i decided to get out of that trap, get in to my soul, loving myself and building a man from inside. its been 2 months and i felt like 2 years. that made me know that im aware and concious of my life like i have never been before
Solitude makes you face yourself. I believe every person should live alone at some point before living with anyone else. Its how you get out of your parents house & get to know you/your likes/dislikes/what you'll tolerate or won't & develop your standards. Too many young people get married w/o knowing themselves and later find its not that they don't like the other person. Its that they never gave themselves the freedom to know their own self & end up feeling suffocated.
@@LG-kx8xl so true, i married at young without anything in my capability. divorced after 2 years no kid. wasting another 5 years after that until i know i was all wrong.

Been watching "the hills" on netflix...( teen vogue employees etc) also heidi and her husband commenting on it. They are kinda sweet... but well sheltered.... they don't realise their whole style of life is made possible via thearines, delta, etc. All need to spend a year in Israel, surrounded by many enemies.
This human is a true person and an inspirational on how to approach life. No one ever said life would be easy. Earning something is more rewarding than being handed something.
He is a good example of people who stand and proved to himself to get a better life.We can do all better ,we have our own capability to make our life better! That's what we all need! Strong will to reach what we want in life,not feeling sorry and assume that someone will do that for us.Entitlement is wrong when you want to take it away from people who thrive to become successful..Take responsibility in your life and achieve success with your own action.

Quite true. Money can't buy happiness but money can cause happiness. Little wonder the rich seem more happier. The rich stay rich by spending according to budget and investing without stopping, but the poor stay poor by living above their means without investing like the rich does
I've heard a lot of great motivational speakers and speeches!!! But the greatest ones are the ones that leave one NEEDING you to hear it again. This is ONE of THE FEW.
This man has done a LOT of self reflection. I love this guy. He's more than most of us will ever be, but he's humble about it knowing that he could be us as well. Has been us.
Thanks Mr. McConaughey! I'm sending this to all of my six kids. I've preached it for decades. But I think it's even better hearing it from someone else. You put it out there perfectly! I have always admired your representation on the screen. I will continue to lift you in our prays! Please continue to share yourself with us!

Anyone intelligent can see Mcconaughey is their latest poster boy for social manipulation, look at that bizarre mindfu*k of a superbowl advert for example!
The more I watch and listen to him, the more I get to see how inspiring this man is, he is one of a kind, there’s not many like him in Hollywood anymore. Really smart and wise man. I’m sure he had his own share of failures like anyone of us but he seems to be the person that keeps on moving. Winners are who does not allow failures and negativity take over your life but overcome them. “The choice we make this minute affects your next minute that can affect your future” a quote my dad always spoke that took me so long to really understand that he was right which always rings in my head till today has made me who i am today. I have made some wrong choices in my life but that made me wiser to not to make dumb choices today.
In 2003, I went on a solo motorcycle journey to find myself. After spending 15 years as a single mom, I now had an empty nest. That time alone to reflect on my world and reset myself was perfect. I did make my connection with just “me” and find happiness in my company.
I’m at this point now ,, been in the same job for 35 years,, I’m older now ,, Covid has changed the world and me ,,, god is strengthening my insecurities to soar 🤗🤗🙏
Yes, very worthwhile journey. Too many people do not understand how to go on "walk about" to settle themselves, and find out what is truly important to them.
Hi Lynn, lost almost everything in 2008, which sent me into seclusion, my faith in God grew, with the help of the positive influence i was to others, reciprocity guided me, GOD went before me, finally, .... discovering myself was what i was aiming for, and what i found was ugly, and meaningless, i settled into who i am in Christ, and recognized its all about the Creator, not the creation. The result is far beyond anything i could have ever dreamed of. Life is never perfect, and i have problems, but i dont let them define me. Joy is the reality i have, wether things are good, or, not so good, joy is an illusive state of being that I have to reaffirm, daily, with new administrations, liars cheaters, and deceivers abounding round about me...... living a life of true integrity is my goal, everyday. I could have made this novel much shorter by saying,: with LOVE all things are possible. Believe that.

Because Matthew McConaughey is a thinking, honest, no BS human being, he is hated by many in Hollywood. It shows you how narrow and rudderless they are. Thank you Matt McConaughey for speaking out, for not letting those who criticize you influence you or get under your skin. Keep speaking out, keep being real, and keeping setting a great example for others.
Love this, I teach my daughters and friends who say they’re “unhappy” the same message. Love yourself 1st, find joy and satisfaction in your deeds. Failures sucks, but they are the greatest teachers and future comedy moments for you to look back on. If things don’t challenge you, you won’t change anything. Take responsibility for yourself, you are the only one you can control. Not others.

This was Great & I'm such a fan of Matthew McConaughey which is why I listened to see what he had to say. Glad I did. Positive push forward stuff & a reward at the end of the day to have accomplish what you set out to do. A good feeling. So True!!!
I’m getting ready for my 2nd time. I live in San Antonio. He has spoken in and about his hometown tragedy: Uvalde. It’s on UA-cam. The man is so deep. He is important. And I’m 76.
"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest." -- Confucius, pre-Marxism And bitterness stands opposed to the joy Matthew spoke of. One doesn't HAVE to be bitter. But it's become the zeitgeist of the toxic neo-Marxist West; with even those who are still at least *trying* to think and reason, jumping to it SO easily as an inevitable default. Also, don't confuse "learning" with "being taught". That's the difference between chewing one's own food (the Competent Individual) and just having baby-mush shoveled into one's gob (where's Mommy?).
Sure it can. We all live in our own little bias bubbles. A bubble that was created mostly in our early years, birth to early 20s. If you are raised to believe you are smart, happy ( or joyful ), beautiful, successful, etc. Then that will be the bubble you live in. It is really hard to change that early influence no matter how well you understand that fact or how hard you try. Of course it can be done, many do escape the trappings of their upbringing, but, many are doomed to repeat that history. For good or bad.
@@quor2243 That's what Jung called "individuation"; and noted that even in his day and age few people cared (or dared?) to take on the challenge of becoming as fully-realized an adult individual as they could. But all of our modern "progressivism" is actually manifesting more and more frequently and right before our eyes, as regressive and toxic. People's eyes swim with the delusion of "revolution" -- but what they are ushering in will more likely be "destitution".
@@griz063 I agree, we are not on a path to revolution. I think the answer is a simple one. Our obsession with defining everything, putting everything in a neat category has been getting in the way as far back as the first civilization. It may be great when organizing a tool shed but terrible for humans. Example: black and white. These 2 seemingly harmless words have done so much damage to us as individuals and to the collective consciousness. To label one self or others as either instead of just being human is just stupid. Of course there are many other examples of this, gay or strait, demarcate or republican, American or Russian, and so on. Our obsession with these definitions drives some so much the are willing to kill others or themselves when acceptance is not met. So no, pushing for these things is not revolutionary. Our eyes are on the wrong ball. Taking sides is so ingrained into what we think it is to be human, that most can't imagine a world without it.
"You just did it. Believe it." The perfect description of an Engineer. Thank you. The motivation is conceptualising it, designing it, building it and seeing it work despite all those sleepless nights doubting it. In Engineering doubting it is part of the process. That's what saves lives.
Because everything he says isn't available anywhere else and he made it all up himself. It's like why bother with anyone who came before when we have bored actors to tell us how to be amazing. 🙄
BTW....I'm a retired wildlife biologist and have literally spent the vast majority of my life physically alone. The kid knows what he's talking about. That's where you learn to live in your mind....once you have, you'll never be lonely and you'll never be bored...it's the trip that's important not the destination.
And this is why he is the perfect representative of what Hollywood actors, and all actors should strive to be. Positive, self-confident, and content with ones self. There’s not a moment I’ve seen that he has not tried to do what’s “right.”
I have a teacher who makes his students hold snow for as long as they can. Some students hate him but I love him. He talks about being ok with discomfort and living with it.

Rather than asking why isn't this being taught in every school ask, "Am I teaching it to myself every day? Am I teaching it in word and deed to my children?"
School offers pre-chewed baby-mush these days. Because "chewing" through life's problems for yourself is fraught with the emotional pain of the mistaken parts of you "dying". And that's been misconstrued as "oppression". Even the "vegetable" in the garden has to endure the harsh realities of existence. But the "vegetables" in the education system have everything that might stress them into a greater degree of strength and competency, is smoothed over by the Jungian Devouring Mother to fears the poor babies might be hurt. And growing up this way into adulthood has the Activists crying for a more empowered big-government to be their protective mother; and the government, media, education system scrambling for even more and more oppressively and tyrannically "Devouring" powers. I think it was CNN where one of their on-air personalities was calling for a "Reality Czar" to tell people what was and wasn't "Truth". That's an Orwellian "1984" "Ministry of Truth" (who's job was to sort lies).
Love it! There's a responsibility in freedom, you earn your way there! Don't lie, cheat, or steal. It steals your freedom. If you lie, cheat and steal you'll always be looking behind your back from the ones you stole from.

@@obscurum6 That is my feeling, he now has a kingdom and is exercise his power. It is no different from any other person of wealth and means. He isn't a Jobs or a Gates and for sure not a Musk so he latched onto another weakness of man and that is needing the feeling that you can be successful. Some people think about the dreams of winning the lottery, others use religion and more drugs and alcohol. He uses his platform to make a ton of dough without a lot of risk and plenty of cash since we are all here on UA-cam making him richer. If he gave away all his wealth and started over, not that would be something to admire, but the rich never do, they just continue to swindle the masses to accumulate wealth.
If he embraces the Trump scenario and that of the current GOP...then good luck to him. Most of the country isn't willing to head in that direction. They said it in 2016 when he didn't win the majority vote and they said it again in 2020 when he lost the electoral AND the majority vote.
Lots of positive messages that could be taught in our schools! Time to eliminate federal dept. of ed., and let each state be responsible for education. Each state can compete!
My Grandmother always said it's a great life if you don't weaken. When I was younger I never really understood what she meant by that. Now I do, being by yourself within yourself is your strength. I have learned that untill self is strong you can't give what you are to anyone else.
It's nice to hear from a normal man who has been successful, that we cant chase happiness. We must find peace, love joy inside our own souls. I must be good for being me right now. Each day brings new experiences. Enjoy the library.
I have an entirely new respect for this man. I don't think much of "The Hollywood Crowd" as a whole. This man is different from the rest of them. He is thoughtful, intelligent, and aware of the real values of life. He is a glimmer of hope, that the world is not completely lost.
SubjectDelta9 What greatness is that he's no different from any of the rest of the Hollywood elite ...if this is our glimmer of hope we are already lost
What a great guy! Give thanks. Appreciate what you DO have … the more we give thanks, the more we receive to be thankful for. Gratitude is the gift that always gives back.
I live what he speaks but it came from a lifetime of experience and at a high cost. I hope people play and replay this. Start every day with it. Learn from someone who's lived it so you don't have to learn the hard way 😂He gave this a lot of thought to articulate it so well. ❤
Genuine is good, phony is not. It's Simple, Do good things to others as it is how the world would then be great if we all possessed empathy and compassion. God Bless you Matthew!!!!!
Ran in to Matthew at a cash n carry in Luton back in 2001. Unbelievable man. He gave me some invaluable advice on bulk can fruit purchases. I had only gone there to buy canned veg, but came back with enough canned fruit to feed an army. My grocery store flourished and 20 years later I bought a second shop in another town. All because of some amazing advice from Matthew McConaughey.
His fundamental believes regarding compassion, reciprocity, joy, awareness all reminds me of Buddhism philosophy! I love that man and his speeches feel even more inspiring after reading his book!
Respect! I just shared this video with my children. I loved the part about about his hero always being himself in 10 years. It represents the unachievable goal. It also helps sustain perseverance, indomitable spirit. It reminded me of my first forced march. As a Paratrooper I had to complete quarterly 12 mile road marches while wearing full combat gear and a 40lb rucksack, rifle, helmet, boots and only three hours to complete it in, and not on flat terrain. So like the 10 year future goal, when I started getting fatigued, I'd pick a tree 100 yards away. That tree was my new achievable goal. Id step up my pace an hurry to my tree, but as i got half way there id pick a new tree. Eventuality the finish line would be my goal, i alway got finished in 2hrs 40min. Its hard to run in boots and combat uniform with a rucksack. But accomplishing difficult tasks is the mst rewarding thing in life. AATW!
He helps me keep things in perspective and reminds me that I’m accountable for each outcome I have in my life. I wish he would create a video for each day of the week for 1 year. You could start it over the following year.

"Why don't they teach this in every school?" Because this is something that parents should teach their children. God forbid, parents should have any responsibility for their children.
I agree that children should be taught these insights in school and at home. The problem is that we have 2 parents in the home working outside the home today. The schools and child care providers therefore must do better at teaching students about choices and outcomes, positive choices vs negative choices, personal responsibility and community responsibility. Parents simply do not get time to teach their children about life truths and insights. Even parents who work at home do not have time to provide real attention to their own children between dinner, errands, too much academic homework, baths, housework, and a little break for everyone in the family to just enjoy or relax with their quarter of an hour together before bedtime. I remember my mom having time to correct and discipline although rarely have discussions concerning the rules of life. She had her way of imparting wisdom with off the cuff sayings like " Life's not fair, get used to it." "No-one us going to pay you to exist". "Early birds get the worms.". She did a good job because when she had to work every night when I was 11 and took over child care within half an hour of arriving home, I recall inspecting dishes my sister washed on her nights and putting them back in the dishwasher to be cleaned properly with the quip "What a waste of tv time, do it right the first time and you won't have to do it again ". I took care of a baby 11 years younger than me, a sister 6.5 years younger than me and one 1.5 years younger. 5 and 6 nights a week. I took my mom's payments to the landlord, the utility companies, went to school, kept my grades up, helped with meal prep, earned money ironing clothes, cleaning and taking out trash for the neighbors in addition to going to school, keeping my grades up. It's crazy that parents aren't able to raise their kids properly today because everyone is working and trying to play in their off time instead of caring for and teaching their children how to be responsible. But the last two generations do not even have the knowledge to pass on to their developing children. If I hadn't had my mom full time for the 1st 8 years of my life, I wouldn't have been able to help care for my siblings responsibly and without resentment for nothing. The funds I used to take the siblings for burgers, ice cream, movies, the carnival or to the Five & Dime store on weekends was my earned money for my ironing and cleaning and I felt joy in doing all of it. More children need to be taught to be alone some, be outside playing responsibly, etc but who is going to teach it if the school and childcare providers don't. The parents normally are in a state of overwhelm.
Absolutely agree! A course in goal setting that includes identifying strengths and areas for improvement, the meaning of success and failure and self-awareness.
Agreed. Critical thinking is a threat to those who need you as complacent fodder. Remember Western Society is an "emergent structure": the consequence of competent individuals freely speaking and trading ideas and the fruits of their labor in a mutually agreed-upon stabilizing structure. A tyranny requires scared and incompetent children *complying* with a dictated structure from those who just THINK they are the best qualified adults. But this mistaken thought is what elevates the the WORST possible people to be ruling leaders over such a regime.
I'm always scared, fear to move forward. No confidence, I'm responsible for my lack of action. I own my place. This is wonderful. Tomorrow is another day. I always look forward to it. Life is for living, learning and I'm open to it all. I have no expectation. Love the now. Disappointed in myself with decisions. I now choose to be worthy of my children and the time they want to spend in me. I need to invest in myself for them.
@ Clare: such an honest reflection, and i’m in the same boat with you! i’ve realized that i don’t have to hit rock bottom to start living the life God gave me.

"There is freedom in responsibility"... is one of the most invaluable lessons one could ever learn.
There is Grace in accountability
No. First and foremost there is responsibility in freedom. Your freedom should not be dependent on someone else's deprivation of freedom.
Freedom without self-discipline is meaningless. Does that sound like a cliche? Wait until you are half my age. You might think differently by then.
That's good no doubt but I've found "there is freedom commitment"
...seems counterintuitive I know. But it allows one to focus on the important values, people, and habits in life while letting go of the frivolous or wandering eye shoot from the hip type lifestyle and be free with whatever you've committed to.
*freedom in commitment
The great thing about McConaughey, in addition to being a good actor, is he comes off as a no BS, legit and authentic guy.
His speech encapsulates an archetype of continual development without thinking about the system he lives in

“The treasure you seek Is in the challenge you are avoiding”
So true!
@@cathygibson5157 Maybe Jesus is the challenge being avoided. There are plenty of others too though. Did Jesus just blurt out the word "wrong" and reference himself and were there no challenges before he existed? I'd imagine the cave men or whomever had plenty of them.
Christina I do believe that.
@@cathygibson5157 That's true too. But first you must want to meet Jesus and find God, so you need a me or you to make that possible when the parents can't or won't.

matthew is such a genuine guy, that’s rare to see nowadays. thinks for himself and isn’t a robot
I went through the teenager "I'm so bored" phase. My mother told me, "If you're bored with yourself, just think how other people feel about you." Never been bored since.
Ha Ha! I love it that is the BEST life lesson a quick study in empathy...
Yes, I noticed as a young person that the other kids who were bored easily were also the most boring.

When you spend enough time alone, this is what happens. Truly inspiring and eye opening. Hopefully other people are able to recognize what made him the way he is today. Solitude.
i was used to chase girl after girl, looking for a person to fulfil my heart, fill that void inside. I was not able to stay alone for 2-3 months. after breakups, i realize that if there is no love inside me, i cant love any1 for long. that circulation destroyed my soul. this time, i decided to get out of that trap, get in to my soul, loving myself and building a man from inside.
its been 2 months and i felt like 2 years. that made me know that im aware and concious of my life like i have never been before
Solitude makes you face yourself. I believe every person should live alone at some point before living with anyone else. Its how you get out of your parents house & get to know you/your likes/dislikes/what you'll tolerate or won't & develop your standards. Too many young people get married w/o knowing themselves and later find its not that they don't like the other person. Its that they never gave themselves the freedom to know their own self & end up feeling suffocated.
@@LG-kx8xl so true, i married at young without anything in my capability. divorced after 2 years no kid. wasting another 5 years after that until i know i was all wrong.

Quite true. Money can't buy happiness but money can cause happiness. Little wonder the rich seem more happier. The rich stay rich by spending according to budget and investing without stopping, but the poor stay poor by living above their means without investing like the rich does
Life's not fair. That's what makes life great. Being happy isn't the result....rather ......the right to pursue happiness brings me joy......

The more I watch and listen to him, the more I get to see how inspiring this man is, he is one of a kind, there’s not many like him in Hollywood anymore. Really smart and wise man. I’m sure he had his own share of failures like anyone of us but he seems to be the person that keeps on moving. Winners are who does not allow failures and negativity take over your life but overcome them. “The choice we make this minute affects your next minute that can affect your future” a quote my dad always spoke that took me so long to really understand that he was right which always rings in my head till today has made me who i am today. I have made some wrong choices in my life but that made me wiser to not to make dumb choices today.
Keanu Reeves is another one.
In 2003, I went on a solo motorcycle journey to find myself. After spending 15 years as a single mom, I now had an empty nest. That time alone to reflect on my world and reset myself was perfect. I did make my connection with just “me” and find happiness in my company.
I’m at this point now ,, been in the same job for 35 years,, I’m older now ,, Covid has changed the world and me ,,, god is strengthening my insecurities to soar 🤗🤗🙏
Yes, very worthwhile journey. Too many people do not understand how to go on "walk about" to settle themselves, and find out what is truly important to them.

Hi Lynn, lost almost everything in 2008, which sent me into seclusion, my faith in God grew, with the help of the positive influence i was to others, reciprocity guided me, GOD went before me, finally, .... discovering myself was what i was aiming for, and what i found was ugly, and meaningless, i settled into who i am in Christ, and recognized its all about the Creator, not the creation. The result is far beyond anything i could have ever dreamed of. Life is never perfect, and i have problems, but i dont let them define me. Joy is the reality i have, wether things are good, or, not so good, joy is an illusive state of being that I have to reaffirm, daily, with new administrations, liars cheaters, and deceivers abounding round about me...... living a life of true integrity is my goal, everyday. I could have made this novel much shorter by saying,: with LOVE all things are possible.
Believe that.
Love love love him. He's grounded, sensible, and honest.
Have always loved him since ...he is aging gracefully .I adore him and his wife .true gentleman

Because Matthew McConaughey is a thinking, honest, no BS human being, he is hated by many in Hollywood. It shows you how narrow and rudderless they are. Thank you Matt McConaughey for speaking out, for not letting those who criticize you influence you or get under your skin. Keep speaking out, keep being real, and keeping setting a great example for others.
Love this, I teach my daughters and friends who say they’re “unhappy” the same message. Love yourself 1st, find joy and satisfaction in your deeds. Failures sucks, but they are the greatest teachers and future comedy moments for you to look back on. If things don’t challenge you, you won’t change anything. Take responsibility for yourself, you are the only one you can control. Not others.

Very true.
It's weird to talk about yourself in the third person. It's like you are your biggest fan.
He’s so real. He gets it. He does it. He lives it. He means it. He believes it. He achieves it. He appreciates it.
Because it can’t be taught, it is a road everyone needs to fumble down. Has to be experienced.
"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest." -- Confucius, pre-Marxism
And bitterness stands opposed to the joy Matthew spoke of. One doesn't HAVE to be bitter. But it's become the zeitgeist of the toxic neo-Marxist West; with even those who are still at least *trying* to think and reason, jumping to it SO easily as an inevitable default.
Also, don't confuse "learning" with "being taught". That's the difference between chewing one's own food (the Competent Individual) and just having baby-mush shoveled into one's gob (where's Mommy?).
Nailed it
Sure it can. We all live in our own little bias bubbles. A bubble that was created mostly in our early years, birth to early 20s. If you are raised to believe you are smart, happy ( or joyful ), beautiful, successful, etc. Then that will be the bubble you live in. It is really hard to change that early influence no matter how well you understand that fact or how hard you try. Of course it can be done, many do escape the trappings of their upbringing, but, many are doomed to repeat that history. For good or bad.
@@quor2243 That's what Jung called "individuation"; and noted that even in his day and age few people cared (or dared?) to take on the challenge of becoming as fully-realized an adult individual as they could.
But all of our modern "progressivism" is actually manifesting more and more frequently and right before our eyes, as regressive and toxic. People's eyes swim with the delusion of "revolution" -- but what they are ushering in will more likely be "destitution".
@@griz063 I agree, we are not on a path to revolution. I think the answer is a simple one. Our obsession with defining everything, putting everything in a neat category has been getting in the way as far back as the first civilization. It may be great when organizing a tool shed but terrible for humans. Example: black and white. These 2 seemingly harmless words have done so much damage to us as individuals and to the collective consciousness. To label one self or others as either instead of just being human is just stupid. Of course there are many other examples of this, gay or strait, demarcate or republican, American or Russian, and so on. Our obsession with these definitions drives some so much the are willing to kill others or themselves when acceptance is not met. So no, pushing for these things is not revolutionary.
Our eyes are on the wrong ball. Taking sides is so ingrained into what we think it is to be human, that most can't imagine a world without it.

And that's been misconstrued as "oppression". Even the "vegetable" in the garden has to endure the harsh realities of existence. But the "vegetables" in the education system have everything that might stress them into a greater degree of strength and competency, is smoothed over by the Jungian Devouring Mother to fears the poor babies might be hurt.
And growing up this way into adulthood has the Activists crying for a more empowered big-government to be their protective mother; and the government, media, education system scrambling for even more and more oppressively and tyrannically "Devouring" powers.

@@obscurum6 That is my feeling, he now has a kingdom and is exercise his power. It is no different from any other person of wealth and means. He isn't a Jobs or a Gates and for sure not a Musk so he latched onto another weakness of man and that is needing the feeling that you can be successful.

He uses his platform to make a ton of dough without a lot of risk and plenty of cash since we are all here on UA-cam making him richer. If he gave away all his wealth and started over, not that would be something to admire, but the rich never do, they just continue to swindle the masses to accumulate wealth.
This is what a true American patriot sounds like the rest of hollywood should take notes
If he embraces the Trump scenario and that of the current GOP...then good luck to him. Most of the country isn't willing to head in that direction. They said it in 2016 when he didn't win the majority vote and they said it again in 2020 when he lost the electoral AND the majority vote.

Respect! I just shared this video with my children. I loved the part about about his hero always being himself in 10 years. It represents the unachievable goal. It also helps sustain perseverance, indomitable spirit. It reminded me of my first forced march. As a Paratrooper I had to complete quarterly 12 mile road marches while wearing full combat gear and a 40lb rucksack, rifle, helmet, boots and only three hours to complete it in, and not on flat terrain.
So like the 10 year future goal, when I started getting fatigued, I'd pick a tree 100 yards away. That tree was my new achievable goal. Id step up my pace an hurry to my tree, but as i got half way there id pick a new tree. Eventuality the finish line would be my goal, i alway got finished in 2hrs 40min. Its hard to run in boots and combat uniform with a rucksack. But accomplishing difficult tasks is the mst rewarding thing in life. AATW!
He helps me keep things in perspective and reminds me that I’m accountable for each outcome I have in my life. I wish he would create a video for each day of the week for 1 year. You could start it over the following year.

"Why don't they teach this in every school?" Because this is something that parents should teach their children. God forbid, parents should have any responsibility for their children.
I think both can be true
Schools teach how to remember information mostly, not how hard it is to go out in the world and thrive
I agree that children should be taught these insights in school and at home. The problem is that we have 2 parents in the home working outside the home today. The schools and child care providers therefore must do better at teaching students about choices and outcomes, positive choices vs negative choices, personal responsibility and community responsibility.
Parents simply do not get time to teach their children about life truths and insights. Even parents who work at home do not have time to provide real attention to their own children between dinner, errands, too much academic homework, baths, housework, and a little break for everyone in the family to just enjoy or relax with their quarter of an hour together before bedtime.
I remember my mom having time to correct and discipline although rarely have discussions concerning the rules of life. She had her way of imparting wisdom with off the cuff sayings like " Life's not fair, get used to it." "No-one us going to pay you to exist". "Early birds get the worms.". She did a good job because when she had to work every night when I was 11 and took over child care within half an hour of arriving home,
I recall inspecting dishes my sister washed on her nights and putting them back in the dishwasher to be cleaned properly with the quip "What a waste of tv time, do it right the first time and you won't have to do it again ". I took care of a baby 11 years younger than me, a sister 6.5 years younger than me and one 1.5 years younger. 5 and 6 nights a week. I took my mom's payments to the landlord, the utility companies, went to school, kept my grades up, helped with meal prep, earned money ironing clothes, cleaning and taking out trash for the neighbors in addition to going to school, keeping my grades up. It's crazy that parents aren't able to raise their kids properly today because everyone is working and trying to play in their off time instead of caring for and teaching their children how to be responsible. But the last two generations do not even have the knowledge to pass on to their developing children. If I hadn't had my mom full time for the 1st 8 years of my life, I wouldn't have been able to help care for my siblings responsibly and without resentment for nothing. The funds I used to take the siblings for burgers, ice cream, movies, the carnival or to the Five & Dime store on weekends was my earned money for my ironing and cleaning and I felt joy in doing all of it.
More children need to be taught to be alone some, be outside playing responsibly, etc
but who is going to teach it if the school and childcare providers don't. The parents normally are in a state of overwhelm.
Absolutely agree! A course in goal setting that includes identifying strengths and areas for improvement, the meaning of success and failure and self-awareness.
David, Yes! Thank you. I am so sick of schools being blamed for everything we “don’t” do! Where is parental accountability?
Be BRAVE, Have COURAGE and when you do -it makes you STRONGER
'M McConaughey you are brilliant with a great mind set & love ya man!
hello@Dennis how are you

Anything not taught in school would likely strengthen you. They removed critical thinking from school for a reason.
i noticed that years ago when my kids were in school,
Socialist agenda is all the kids hear
Exactly. Kids have been brainwashed and trained not to critical think anymore
Agreed. Critical thinking is a threat to those who need you as complacent fodder.
Remember Western Society is an "emergent structure": the consequence of competent individuals freely speaking and trading ideas and the fruits of their labor in a mutually agreed-upon stabilizing structure.
A tyranny requires scared and incompetent children *complying* with a dictated structure from those who just THINK they are the best qualified adults.
But this mistaken thought is what elevates the the WORST possible people to be ruling leaders over such a regime.
@@robertf2691 Don't blame it on the kid's. There are tons of baby boomers with little critical thinking skills. Some of them stormed the Capital.
Thank you Matthew ! Joy comes from the Lord. It is continuous…..happiness is a choice~
I'm always scared, fear to move forward.
No confidence, I'm responsible for my lack of action.
I own my place.
This is wonderful.
Tomorrow is another day.
I always look forward to it.
Life is for living, learning and I'm open to it all.
I have no expectation.
Love the now.
Disappointed in myself with decisions.
I now choose to be worthy of my children and the time they want to spend in me.
I need to invest in myself for them.
@ Clare: such an honest reflection, and i’m in the same boat with you! i’ve realized that i don’t have to hit rock bottom to start living the life God gave me. He has purposed me for something, and He has purposed you for something. Thanks for helping me to see that Tomorrow is another day, but today is THE day. Let’s invest in ourselves for ourselves so that our loved ones can reap the benefits. God bless you, and Keep Moving Forward! I’ll be right there with you!
Hello clara ,how are you doing?
@@davidhellohowareyoudoingwi3667 ok today actually.
After my accident I have been told by my surgeon that I can keep my finger.
Absolute God send as I'm a hair stylist. Happy days. X
@@clarediana485 oh ok that's alright
@@clarediana485 so where are you from?
Straight shooter. People need that. Buckle up. We all are in this rollercoaster of a life. Let’s just do our best and show others that doubted anyone. It’s where your heart is.
Amazing message ❤️ Also so excited to see my Cheer Team in this video!!
We all have love in our hearts. It's a hard thing to love. But we are always ready for love
Wow this man is a human being. Unlike myself he set goals and vision in a unique fashion and made something exceptional of himself. I really learned something from watching this. Matthew has a vulnerability and a persistence and sense of kindness I admire. There are lessons and inspiration in this for all of us.
True!
...a flash of integrity in the shadowed place known as Hollywood...
The best part...is that you already knew this. You just allowed society to confuse you.
Absolutely true. It's something we discover, or something that we're reminded of, but it's always been there.
sorry i could only hit the like button once
He’s authentic and basically plays himself in his movies.
His outlook is why he's the best actor in the world. One of the best ever.
Also, he's way too big to be 'cancelled'.
Bought a Lincoln.
Just wait till he breathes a hint of disfavor for Texas's anti-BDS laws. Or something related to it. He'll be blacklisted in a day.
The best ever of reflection
I was blown away after playing it on the 3rd time! Its so simple and so true. Where has 10 years of my life gone? Matthew is truly in touch and brilliant.
Their is nothing worse than wishing you could go back change something, But it's too late. Make sure to act on your institution now and never think twice about it.
An actor with a sense of self that was so great to see..
You have to love the feeling of working to be your own hero! 7:25 "Give others and yourself more credit, it just happened you witnessed it, you just did it, believe it, , give your obstacles credit"
Truly authentic and humble man with a servant heart. Makes me proud to be a Longhorn!
