    I remember growing up watching certain superhero movies and there were certain characters that resonated with me so deeply, but I didn’t know what it was.
    As an adult, I started to become obsessed with learning more and more about psychology and I started to easily analyze and identify what it was about these characters that I resonated with.
    In this video I break down what I discovered and share my personal story behind why I found Iron Man so inspiring growing up.
    Make sure you leave me a comment below and let me know what movie character or superhero inspires you the most.

    I was rewatching (for like the 20th time) scenes from Constantine, and was thinking, why do I keep watching this? And found my way to your video here. Very helpful perspective, Matt, thank you. Why am I attracted to John Constantine's character? It's about not being afraid to call bullshit on things around you. And not being afraid to take a stand and become a target. I was also bullied as a kid in middle school (mostly called gay), and for years after that, I didn't say much in social gatherings. If I was quiet, at least I wasn't ridiculed. But there's been a persistent dissatisfaction in my experience of life since my teenage years, and perhaps this is a reason. Some voice that wants to speak has been locked out, to preserve an idea of what is involved in being safe in society. However, after so much unhappiness, at a certain point it's like fuck it, if I speak my truth and the crowd destroys me for it, so be it.

    So true, you are right. I am drawn to characters that overcome what they were told they would never be able to do.

    Superman. Because he was invulnerable . As a child I felt vulnerable and a bit trapped so he was the perfect person to be

    This might sound silly but I love baby from dirty dancing. She completely transformed into someone know one believed she could be. She worked her ass off and kept trying until she became so damn good everyone arn her not only applauded her journey, perseverance, integrity, they saw her heart. The funny thing is everything she did was to help everyone else and in the end she was the person she ended helping the most. She uncovered her voice, strength, and talent all because she did what her heart told her was right.

    What’s good bro. This might be a bit off topic for this video. But would you have any advice for cardio sessions to keep me in good shape while I’m trying to put on size at the same time. I want to get big but keep the abs.

    I feel like a character that draws me in a lot is the new dragon ball super version of broly. He's so calm, collected and friendly but he has so much inner sorrow and rage aswell as being jacked. I'm very similar, I'm very muscular and calm but I hide my depression and anger all the time. He just reminds me of myself in that way
