I am very much in this place right now at nearly 54 years of age. The journey never ends. I hope I'm finally learning to permit myself to "become" instead of trying to be what I thought I was expected to be. It's taken years to understand that there is much emptiness in trying to fill a role instead of living as who I genuinely am. My husband and children miss out on my real presence and so do I. I'm going through a process of shedding right now - like so much dead skin. Letting go of unnecessary accumulated materials; releasing a job that was only appeared to be a good fit for me; and instead, attending daily mass, sitting in silence and trying to surrender my path. I am blessed to be able to do this. How your message resonates with me as I often feel, when in prayer, that I've made it this far in life and yet missed my purpose completely - and that, yes, there is so much more to life and who I am than I have allowed myself to experience. I need to let go and trust. Thank you for reminding me that I'm not broken or lost - I'm just a late bloomer who's only beginning to "become". PS - Miss seeing you at Holy Apostles - McHenry!!
This is what I truly needed to hear today. I’m so hard on myself, I focus on everything that I have done wrong in life. I never think that what I do is enough. I don’t believe the positive things about myself, only the negative. I want to reclaim my self worth. I want to forgive myself for past mistakes and learn from the lessons and be better. I want to feel content with Life. And that I am enough. Thank you Matthew for all that you do to help open my eyes to a more beautiful, positive outlook on Life.❤️
Thank you, matthew + jack beers + dynamic catholic team for [reclaim!] the “word of the year”, the concept you share in this video, and the book/webcast!
That part about patience, though.... I have felt like something was missing or that there was more to life for years. I have tried things, I have attempted to move to different jobs, but the Lord has kept me in the same place. I don't understand it, and it can be quite discouraging. I have that tiny spark of hope inside, however, that keeps me going. All in His time...
when I saw the "reclaim" invite in my email in the Fall, it hit me immediately- this is my word for 2022! before reading anything more- I have never felt so filled with purpose, and the grace that goes with mission!!
Just what I really needed to hear Today! Thank You Matthew, Jesus, Mama Mary & The Holy Spirit!😇🕊️🙏🌹 May you have a Blessed-filled Day!! & I'm gonna read your blogs on your website! Thank You again!
Thank you! Very interesting. I have felt this way all my life, but never thought it might be normal. I have always blamed myself for not being good enough, not nice enough, etc. Basically beating myself up all the time. I learned a lot just by listening to you and I feel so much better.
💚🤍💚Hola hola! Mathew se un poquito inglés pero me encanta ver tus videos y tengo tus libros en español y me encantan! Eres un ser humano muy especial en mi vida GRACIAS ☺️☺️☺️espero aprender más inglés viendo tus videos 😉😉😉
So it is possible for me to have more in a have-not world! All that is required is for me to "Reclaim"....Thank you Matthew!
You are very welcome

I believe you are sent as a messenger
"Listen, follow, and go where my soul leads me". Great wisdom and advice Matthew. Thank you for sharing.

I had that same reaction! Reclaim is also my word for 2022!
Perfect message for me on my birthday.
Happy Birthday!
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing…
Matthew do you have steps to reclaiming? Thank you for this video.
Yes. Grab a copy of my book reclaim from bookstore or library.
What if it leads me to run away from home, leave family?
Not sure of your situation so don’t like to comment
Nope, this is all there is. Life totally sucks!
