    In life, what is it that pushes us to discover our true self-identities? Who are we truly and how can we begin to know ourselves on the deepest level possible so that we can push through life’s greatest failures and relish in life’s greatest successes? By chasing fear, taking on challenges, and learning to live in discomfort, we can uncover who it is we truly are. On this episode of Impact Theory, Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey joins Tom Bilyeu to discuss such matters and more as they explore the stories and lessons Matthew has accumulated throughout his life that defines his drive, purpose, and his true self-identity. They discuss the lessons in Matthew’s new book ‘Greenlights,’ why you need to discover your true self, how needing puts you in a position to not be yourself, how to truly develop confidence, why resistance in life reveals who we truly are, why reinventing yourself through life is key to growth, how chasing fear keeps your drive alive, and what values are important to leading a life of freedom.

    The part of depression that they don’t talk about is how memories turn negative when we review them. Sometimes it feels like I have more negative or uncomfortable memories than I really do...this is why it’s important to journal joyous moments, moments when you performed well, when you were confident, when you were loved and when you proved capable of loving others unconditionally. If you get stuck in bad memories, or start feeling bad about yourself, who you are, or what level of success you have, you then can go to your journal to remember, it’s not all bad. You are the one you’ve been waiting for ♥️

    A large part of my life has been spent trying to escape myself and become a totally different person with hopes of being as successful that dude or as confident and charismatic like so and so. I was just rarely comfortable in my own skin. Moving, traveling, turning one new leaf after another, rebirth, enlightenment, etc. I was constantly in flux shedding my skin as I attempted to escape and replace myself with a different better self that never seemed to materialize no matter how hard I tried. But lately, I've just been content being whomever I may be at the moment regardless of state I may be in. I'm still constantly trying to improve myself, but I'm also learning to appreciate who I am in the moment without anxiously searching and waiting for that elusive future better self to replace me.

      The most important and hardest journey is the journey within. It is an awakening. It is painful even. But when we accept ourselves unconditionally, forgive ourselves for our mistakes and for being human, let go of negative self-talk and a whole lot of things that it takes to find ourselves, and ultimately love ourselves, it is so worth it. So, keep going.

    The being forced to do interviews like this during corona is actually a huge positive I think! Usually, when you (Tom) do Impact Theory there's all the cameras and angles and shots that make you and the interviewee look "perfect". But like this, seeing people in a normal room, without lighting effects and whatever gives it something real and I really do love that! I mean, that's what impact theory is ultimately about, right? To give people something real. And this makes it so much more relatable. Seeing these celebrities sitting in their homes just like me, that's real. That's a reminder that we are all in the same boat. We are all in this together. Not only with corona but with life. Thanks Tom for keeping up this incredible work! I might not be able to give you personally something back but I think that's okay, because I can do my best and pay it forward. And the people I hopefully touch can do the same. :)

    I love that Matthew McConaughey is such an in-depth, introspective human being. He gives us all a fine example of how we each should really live life: willingness to be real, to look in the mirror, to engage in introspection and self-awareness, which not only benefits and GROWS our own true self, but also benefits and sets an example to others for approaching life and living fully.
    I love this interview, as well as another one I listened to.
    I recently bought the Greenlights book for myself. While I haven't finished it yet, I find I have to read it in bits, in digestible chunks, because at times it triggers me; other times, it gives me some priceless nuggets of depth and wisdom that I just need to ponder over for awhile before moving forward. I'm so looking forward to, after listening to him speak, reading through the rest of it.
    I'm at a place of expansion in my life right now where this book is indeed a timely, much needed tool in my own renaissance-- or, as Matthew calls it, "McConnaisance", haha....
    I appreciate McConaughey's honest, open, and deep insights to living life, through his sharing his own insights.

    Tom knows how to extract pearls of wisdom from his guests. This interview looks nothing like any other interview with McConaughey. What I found reall valuable were the lessons about not being needy, instead being involved and not giving a damn about how I come across. Another great lesson was about staying with yourself until you feel comfortable in your skin, forgive some and say enough to some of the things in your life.

Tom, you are one of the best interviewers because you let the guest speak but also guide the conversation through their lives. I can tell, you must do a ton of research into the guest and you must have a fantastic memory. This interview brought so much value to my life as I make a big career transition.

    As I really had no example to follow realistically.
    So, thank you for giving that confidence to me by helping or showing me what I could do if I reacted to your behavior.
    So, that was how I basically learned how to take or make a pattern to follow and live.
