imagine sitting listening to this speech from a multi millionaire telling you money isn't important and only being nice matters, Money is the most evil thing on this planet and actors or sport stars sitting saying it's not about the money while they have to much is what is wrong in the world. People and kids are starving to death but people like matthew held out for that extra 5 million on his last acting job. Think about it.
@scotttempleman1287 who do you think makes the MOST humanitarian donations?? He's not like your typical actor. Dont begrudge a man who put the work in to make that money. Envy turns into hate.
Imagine stumbling across this video by accident when your at your lowest and it actually saving your life not only that but saving your children a life of what ifs!!!!!!!
Here's something I learned as an Army medic who never saw combat ... Mostly life sucks But you can be happy anyway. Being happy is fun and it pisses off the vermin who vex you. Happiness happens in the sillyest places. Seek and you shall find. Be Well Fellow Traveler
Happiness we control. Sadness we don’t. Im sure most watching this are the same as me. I want more money , I want the easy life but it’s not happening. The one thing I have come to believe, just now. The realisation of happiness is a dream. If you had it ,what else is there ? It’s a way of life. Let look at it not for it x
I'm 47, & this is my first time listening to this one. Instead of paying for therapy, I go to these media's & listen. Jordan Peterson is really good explaining things too. I love this one too. ❤️
Same here 👋🏽 36 and I’ve been listening to this video for the last 4.this video is one of my rocks I lean on when the day is cloudy. God bless you brother ✌🏽
@@KareSmith433 JP is amazing. I’ve watched him for about the same amount of time. A truly passionate person about helping people. McConaughey’s book is a really good listen/read as well. Highly recommended.
I have to say as I sit here listening to Mr. Mathews speech already realizing that I am a broken man. I have struggled with drug addiction most of all my life. I am facing legal issues that can take me from the ones I love. I am 52 years old and should be wise and happy in life. But I am not. This is the best motivational and inspiring speeches I have ever heard.God put this out there for me to hear so I can have hope in my life that even at this age it's not to late for me or anybody else out there who is watching this video. Thank you Mr. McConaughey and Thank you Lord for leading me to this very wise and inspiring words. Much Love and God Bless everyone.
@@SusanFowler-xf4zy I gave my heart to Jesus and since doing this I feel so much better. Still have things I'm working on but I'm getting there. I hope that you can get your life straight and believe it is possible. Trust in Christ.
Satan will will battles vs us. The Armor of God is our only chance. You failing as a human is expected. However when you appreciate God and the sacrifice of Jesus you’ll start the change. One day at a time you will get better and hopefully lead others to Christ.
My Dad was full of wisdom. He said to do all things in moderation. Stay in the middle. As people most of us live in denial. Its a living perpetual lie. A mindset that allows us to do the things we know aren’t beneficial to us. If our hidden facade is exposed we get defensive...,stay close minded. Some folks are NEVER wrong. To be free of this position , take the opposite path. Be open minded. Be wrong and admit you don’t know all the answers. Learn to say we and stop saying I all the time. Let others speak and listen without judgement. Be patient. We know what to do. What is difficult is putting it into practice and consistency. In this world, the cards are stacked against us. Life moves fast. Somebody always seems to need something from you. Your job is so demanding and leaves you tired with no free time. Sound like you? It’s all of us. Never enough money, rising prices, corruption and greed rule the land. As if life isn’t hard enough.,,,Now let’s add a virus, excesses of racism, rich getting richer, poor folks fighting to stay alive while others have more than they could ever spend....LIFE IS TOUGH! Take a deep breath. Now listen to these words very carefully. SIMPLICITY, PATIENCE, COMPASSION. YOU WILL BE OKAY. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. YOU ARE LOVED. ALL THIS DARKNESS WILL PASS.
I love these words of wisdom and encouragement. You are fortunate to have such a mentor in your life. It’s taken me over 65 years to understand these truths. I’m listening more to the wisdom of the whisper of truth that resides within me. I’m smarter than I thought! 😂😂The other voice of negativity is there too, but I recognize it now and it’s just noise, not truth. Thank you for sharing your truths. God bless you. ❤❤❤
This comment is like conjuring hope out of a hopeless place. Thank you for your priceless input and the wisdom from your dad and yourself. We're all humans at the end of the day and removing labels aka being non-judgemental of our brothers and sisters is key to joy.
McConaughey is one of the few actors in Hollywood that is a genuine real person. Its like hes one of us that made it to Hollywood and he never let it change him.

As a Victim of Violence, I identify myself as a Survivor. It is a journey of healing, each day teaches me something new about myself. When you live with constant death threats, degrading humiliation, intimidation, gas lighting, and under constant tracking and surveillance, it reduces your normal options. You become a survival artist and deeply attached to meditation and prayer. Then you become a Exit Strategist constantly vigilant of dangers. I survived. If anyone is in a relationship that is toxic and dangerous- know that it’s not your fault and you can escape...reach for life!
I also identify myself as a survivor!! I AM NOT a victim!!! I'm an overcomer with ambition, an immortal finish line, self respect, a deep love for the attributes God created me with and a desire to use them the way He intended! My habits are purposeful, my hobbies are purposeful, the way I spend my time is purposeful, how I treat others is purposeful and my choices are purposeful, because life is not accidental! Success is not accidental! Joy is not accidental! I applaud you!!! Press forward toward what lies ahead, leaving that which is behind! Go girl GO!!!!!
We are not our experiences. Thats why he called it the entitlement trap that you are a victim. You are only if you chose to see it that way. I almost died. My kids almost died. But we are not victims. We fight for valhalla not the beliefs of the victim stance. We toss that word to the wolves.
@leslie6733 but you at some point anyone can become a victim because of the circumstances of being brought up.. God may direct YOU, to do something, but he dont always direct his children to go the way they should go.
We should have a good discussion on this if you want to... I got plenty to say on this matter and I also don't agree with everything he is talking about. I've been thru hell and back and still here because I want to not because I have to be.
That one about the ironed jeans really resonated with me. To expound on this, don't put yourself out to help someone just because you can. Helping people causes a really good feeling, and it brings people great happiness, but don't ever compromise yourself to help others.
I don’t comment on things much, but I had a bad habit once, and over the years the guilt and shame have ended up causing me far more pain and damage than the problem itself. Today I give that up. Thank you Matthew
Happiness we control. Sadness we don’t. Im sure most watching this are the same as me. I want more money , I want the easy life but it’s not happening. The one thing I have come to believe, just now. The realisation of happiness is a dream. If you had it ,what else is there ? It’s a way of life. Let look at it not for it x
All from the heart. He’s real and that what means the most. Great speech and pure words of guidance. Those students in that audience that day were part of something super special and most of them probably had no clue how impactful this speech would and will still be in life. I come back to it often and it hits deep to this day.
An honest man's pillow is his peace of mind ..The resonating of all he speaks .More means nothing ,truth love heart soul be humble asking for a higher truth does not make you weak...realize we all at any point can be accessible to knowledge. Embrace there is no limit to be kind or to share our gifts.
So sad he didn't write it, and is reading words off a screen in front of him. So sad people believe actors. You are actually hearing the words of an intern that worked weeks to refine the speech only to receive no glory and nearly minimum wage. I stand with her and wish more people recognize that actors giving speeches... are actors... giving speeches - just like a movie.
I've been addicted to drugs, junk food, gaming, porn, victim mentality and i'm sure a few others I can't think of right now. I have spent the last 3 years trying to change those bad habits. While i'm not where I want to be, I am where i'm at, trying to improve, not daily, but chipping away slowly. I think the best things you can do, this is just what's worked for me, taking care of yourself more, having self respect, not caring what others think, living my life the way I want it to be lived, eating well and lifting weights/ exercising. Find and pursue those things you love. Anyway, I just wanted to hear Mr McConaughey's voice. Texas ranger.
This is wonderful.... He has the answers to what everyone needs to use to cope, to understand themselves , be the best they can be, be true to themselves and the list goes on... Very knowledgeable and informative. I sure pray that he makes the choice to run for Governor of Texas because Texans really need good leadership and would work with him to help make Texas great again. I will be having a meeting with our next Governor with proof of what has been happening and how and line things up so changes could be made along with others I’m sure.
Thank you Matthew McConaughey ❗My late husband and myself used to Wade Fish real close to you in Port O'CONNOR Texas! Out of respect we gave you you your distance ! I woke up two days ago ago to your speech, I wish I had had heard it, 30 year's ago ! My late husband was a highly intelligent man, and we loved to converse, Apparently now is when I needed to hear your message ! When my Son comes home I, he will listen or I will tie him to the couch ! Thank you! !
This is just exceptional. Every “truth” or pint to live fully is so on point. If you cried at any point it’s hitting your soul. Let it resonate. It all begins within ourselves. I’m learning this everyday.
Matthew Mccaunughey if I didn’t love you before (which I absolutely did) I just love you and respect you even more. You are spitting some true game at folks.
As God and all of you are my witness, I will live these truths, cure my mental illness and save myself from utter despair. Today is the day I get to know myself. Today is day one. I will rebuild my relationship with my girlfriend and my children. I will get my career on track. I intend to do all of this. There is no alternative. So be it.
So profound...I have been beliving the negativity most of myself and hiding behind my fears of failure, but have been working hard at silencing those voices and resurrecting my dream of writing...at 65 soon to be 66 it might seem like an impossiblebility, but I am Journaling my big butt off... I am working on turning my mistakes into testimonials/affirmations... idream of writing, inserting pieces of myself and my valleys and mountains life experiences into fictional novels...thank you for this great speech it is very encouraging and inspiring.
So, so authentic and thoughtful. He is letting us in deep on his own psyche, and what he has worked out for himself, and telling us how he finds his peace and place. I don't know another person who is so open, revealing, thoughtful, and insightful. Much respect.
That statement of eliminating who you are not to find who you are is so profound. Best advice to give young people who are just becoming adults and have so much input from the world around us
So many people have taken the I don’t give a care about how much someone can do with the words they say can cut like a sharp edged sword stuck in someone’s side in a rib. And all anyone ever does is just keep grinding it in deeper yet it takes only one person to smile and share some happiness and shows us joy and all take the time to love instead of reminding ourselves of what is being hated and eliminate the hatred and only bring joy and peace to everyone. Love this speech.
I agree so much time is spent dwelling on the people who hurt us and say things they don’t mean as a person in a short lived life being angry and complaining it’s so much wasted time and so much of life is wasted being angry and upset and agitated we end up only have lived a unhappy life and it takes our peace and joy away from our souls and every day we are here it eats away the good and pushes out the bad and if we allow the horrible ones out of us .
Wow wow and wow again ,I spent 2 days listening to this stopping it and taking down notes , so many metaphors and quotes blew me away and really made me think not just think but understand... outstanding.. it just a shame those behind him didn’t even look awake !!!. Not an once of appreciation crossed their faces, well their loss, and a big loss at that ..all of us leaving comments were awake and very appreciative. Thank you
I agree, for a moment I thought they were statues until I saw an eye blink, then I realized they were live....maybe they were just soaking it all in. Thank you Sir for this inspiring message 🙏
That is true you can have Heaven on earth for me it’s my closeness to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and reading His word the Bible KJV the more you read Gods Word the further you get in Heaven. Thank you Mr. McConaughey God Bless you and those you love.
I rarely ever comment but needed to here… Since my separation and divorce from the same man … I’ve been with him my entire life for 17 years - I am now 34. Since separation -I’ve been doing the inner intense healing work on myself, therapy and listening to motivational or educational videos at night - such as this is one .. which btw is one the best I’ve come across as far. I’ve been watching one video at night for the last five months and this is one of the top five videos. I appreciate Matthews ability to articulate the message that he wants to spread and stick and I found myself stopping to take notes throughout to make sure that I don’t miss any of those GEMS he dropped. I will definitely be sharing with my friends and family and thank you and your channel for posting such amazing videos I am a subscriber and I always appreciate your uploads. Know that you were making such a difference in folks live such as myself during very difficult times. Thank you for all of your hard work and I know this is coming from not just myself but thank you for all of us!! 💞💞💞💫💫💫✨🙏🏾
This could quite possibly be the most prolific speech that these students will ever hear. It may take years for these students to understand all the words that have been spoken, and apply them in their lives. But at least someday they will look back probably in their 40s and be like wow… This man speaks truth.
It's so refreshing, so good, so inspiring to see someone with the influence power as Mr McConaughey's inform our younger ones of what's coming, how to look at life and themselves in the right way... Thank you, M.M., I'll never get tired of listening to it.
@matthewmcconaughey969 Well... That reaction, I'd say, says a lot about a person. And it is my pleasure, by the way💜. I'm texting from the United Kingdom.
2 things. 1) I found the 40:47 speech the most powerful thing I've ever heard. 2) Still...I am truly stunned that 1.2k human beings don't like it, and actually took the time to acknowledge their dislike.
I LOVED IT! Especially at the 32 min. mark when that "Big/Strong!" woman came walking through right behind him(giving a rather stern glance) just as he was saying something about "overcoming your fear". I "instantly" took this as being "a sign" that "HE" should be fearful of HER! I smiled about this and replayed it a couple of times, rather joyfully. And then, upon "going back" a bit further into his talk about "fear" I've reevaluated my "decision". "SHE" was likely "MOTIVATED" into "sucking it up"(the fear) and getting out of her seat and walking right across the screen. And that short, but stern "glance" was her "Acknowledgement"(showing off?) of "SEE THERE! I AIN'T AFRAID!". And if THIS "version" is actually "the truth"... Matthew McConaughey is "healing" people as he speaks here!!!
I went on a thruhike for 6 months 7 years ago and I stumbled on this speech at the beginning of my hike, listened to it throughout my hike and helped me realize alot of things that is happening in my life, I’ve thru hiked every year ever since and I’ve listened to this over and over just in time I needed a reminder…
ive gone through hell and back the last two years after a barn fire doubt self-esteem issues self medicating .my fear of failure have come true this video in the am and at night has helped me beyond what i could have ever expected from a motivational speech theres a million of em but my life was lacking balance. im starting over after 41 years its hard may not make it but I'm here now and I listen and take mental notes translating through my every day. thanks, tim hargrove
Me too! Hope you’re well we’re all in this together I just broke my long funk and energy and facing fears not avoiding and freezing in fear to make a few texts or phone calls for help. Asking for help is the hardest thing but once I took the first step and just did something toward a goal momentum builds I’m back in flow and taking the small and big wins as success doing and not caring the outcome. Then you’re just in the moment
It haunts me that the old guy is unknowingly sitting and listning in the background 🥺, never forget, pause, enjoy, smile, take a deep breath, and remind yourself of how beautiful life is 😊 always try to atleast say hello or compliment someone a day, you never know how much it actually means.
If you feel lost or need guidance,this will definitely inspire you!! I can't put in words how much inspiration it has given me.what a great guy really wise .thank you thank you thank you🙏
I'm goin thru hard time at the minute and I came across this speech and know I've a new found life after listening to him and wat gets me the most is to erase who you are not to find who u are thank you Matthew Jason in Ireland is so thankful 🤗
This was such an inspiring video I have been having a hard time finding what I REALLY want to do in live what I'm really passionate about and this speech just opened my up to a world of things I was missing. Thank you Matthew McConaughey!!!!
I'm from Portugal, you can imagine English is not my first language, but I still got good enough be like 12 and saw Contact and all that touched me - it touched me. This person is special. The many different movies he's been in is an undeniable proof. For me this is like, why keep endlessly hoping for Jesus, when you have humans like him around? We are it if we can muster like he does all his life. Even if we can't, someone like him can do. Keep trying to be the best you can for everyone around you, eventually another great person like Matthew will come. Not just Jesus, the fellow person you grew up with. Cheers all.
Same here. First time I watched the video but I’ve heard the audio multiple times. It seems like the people in the background have heard it multiple times too lol, they look unimpressed lol One of the best speeches ever!
This is one man's view of the world and himself. Not yours. Happiness is a state of being not the result of a favorable outcome. Some times Happiness results from that. But I can smile just watching my dogs play and it makes me happy. We all have the capacity for good and evil. Sometimes what we are is forced on us and sometimes we choose it based on survival or acceptance.
Checking in with those 5 main value systems is huge, having balance and the awareness is the key to living a "balanced" and true life to who you really are
Thank you Matthew for your wisdom. You are at the cusp & border of the land of Good and Evil but we can’t cross to the truth because wisdom, good or evil is contained there and many don’t cross over to the Truth. Soon a choice will be presented to cross or stay in the finite wisdom of Good & Evil
I have always like Matthew as an actor but I had no idea he's such great human being, plus super eloquent to boot. I'm truly impressed - huge kudos Matthew!!!!!
Thank you I saw this after stressing all night and wanting to just settle for a life that i know I want and deserve better so back to working for what i set my original goals for. Doe it all once and potential was said to be good. Why not now make them great . Im destined to live,teach and learn what we all deserve.
My secret to life is living moment by moment, when you live day by day minute by minute your life is less stressful and all anxiety leaves and you are able to perform 4 jobs a day rather just one job. I own over 80 properties, groom dogs, i enjoy our vacations, 4 grandchildren and i jog 2 miles every day. Some will say ," how do I do all this in one day?" I never sit down and I live moment by moment. God bless everyone. Some people will never find the happy medium because their life is drama which is all they will ever know. Humans are creatures of habit. Good luck to those who won't let themselves live their lives moment by! moment. Great speech Matthew
What a very smart and humble man . So much wisdom here in his talk . He is also one of the very few actors I liked immediately . Thank you for this great video .
Life has been multiple highs & lows, I have seen the third Eye, yet my circle does not acknowledge these truths, so my life has become a battle of Egos, Truths & a breakdown of my husband's stage 4 Cancer. He lived his previous life running Marathons, 17 to count & we as family were absence towards his training & obsession. I took care of everyone in his absence & obvious obsessions. DINNER WAS ALWAYS ON THE TABLE. I want to envelope my Own energy, to be what I thought Always to be Selfish, I have Always neglected myself for my ultimate goal of unconditional love.
I enjoyed listening to this, was sent to me by my uncle in my hard times. All what Matthew says is so true and right. Thank you for such powerful motivation words.
Well , I must admit. Something’s and people in this beautiful world still amaze me. I believe this world the people on it are always learning. After your worst days there is always the tomorrow perhaps finding a temperance in life will show you life is a Balance . Everything in moderation and balance within yourself will provide the results you seek. I love this speech. Remember always the biggest power in this world is not hate and destruction. Ask yourself who am I? Do I have Love within me? How do I share this with the world? LOVE is the greatest gift you have ever received. Never forget that. Who Are YOU?
This whole graduation speech is fantastic, I truly don’t think it’s possible to define how good it is, life changing maybe, but I think the ending is the best…
14 minutes in , "crumbs" SOOOOOO SOOOOOO TRUE!!! I guess ole Matthew McConaughey is a pretty good ole dude. I enjoyed his talk and will listen this again.
1st time watching this 3-9-23 it's crazy that the only person to have her eyes closed is THE ONE OF FEW PEOPLE THAT NEEDS the attention every time THEY ARE on the the house floor NEEDS to actually has TO HEAR the words he is saying!!
Well said and well respected because of it. He has life experience you can tell by how well he articulates his thoughts. Look at the professors. As engaged as the audience. This is what real wisdom being shared looks like.
I have learned this outline for personality evolution in different words nearly 50 years ago. The phrasing was different, but the truths were the same. This warmed my heart and brought a cozy smile to my face.
My first time listening to this, I need to listen again and take notes. This was so deep. The ending really is what I need and want to make friends with myself. Letting go of guilt and hurt has been so hard for me. I would love to go on a retreat somewhere and cleanse, purge rid of all things that have held me down for too long.

As a Victim of Violence, I identify myself as a Survivor. It is a journey of healing, each day teaches me something new about myself. When you live with constant death threats, degrading humiliation, intimidation, gas lighting, and under constant tracking and surveillance, it reduces your normal options.

My habits are purposeful, my hobbies are purposeful, the way I spend my time is purposeful, how I treat others is purposeful and my choices are purposeful, because life is not accidental! Success is not accidental! Joy is not accidental! I applaud you!!! Press forward toward what lies ahead, leaving that which is behind! Go girl GO!!!!!
Is being a survivor really an identity? You’re more than that one thing alone.
We are not our experiences. Thats why he called it the entitlement trap that you are a victim.
You are only if you chose to see it that way.
I almost died. My kids almost died. But we are not victims.
We fight for valhalla not the beliefs of the victim stance. We toss that word to the wolves.
@leslie6733 but you at some point anyone can become a victim because of the circumstances of being brought up.. God may direct YOU, to do something, but he dont always direct his children to go the way they should go.
We should have a good discussion on this if you want to... I got plenty to say on this matter and I also don't agree with everything he is talking about. I've been thru hell and back and still here because I want to not because I have to be.
That one about the ironed jeans really resonated with me. To expound on this, don't put yourself out to help someone just because you can. Helping people causes a really good feeling, and it brings people great happiness, but don't ever compromise yourself to help others.
Shows why he is so successful...because he is truly living authentically
I don’t comment on things much, but I had a bad habit once, and over the years the guilt and shame have ended up causing me far more pain and damage than the problem itself. Today I give that up. Thank you Matthew
Turn that page. :)
Happiness we control. Sadness we don’t. Im sure most watching this are the same as me. I want more money , I want the easy life but it’s not happening. The one thing I have come to believe, just now. The realisation of happiness is a dream. If you had it ,what else is there ? It’s a way of life. Let look at it not for it x
All from the heart. He’s real and that what means the most. Great speech and pure words of guidance. Those students in that audience that day were part of something super special and most of them probably had no clue how impactful this speech would and will still be in life. I come back to it often and it hits deep to this day.
When I'm at my lowest this is one of the videos I watch. It helps. Thank you mat, you have saved lives
I've listened to this so many times now and it hasn't gotten old yet. It's really helped me in some areas of my life
An honest man's pillow is his peace of mind ..The resonating of all he speaks .More means nothing ,truth love heart soul be humble asking for a higher truth does not make you weak...realize we all at any point can be accessible to knowledge. Embrace there is no limit to be kind or to share our gifts.
This man is one of the very few real deals. If you haven’t read or listened to his book you’re missing out!
I’m legitimately gonna listen to this and follow it on a daily basis, such strong words of encouragement and wisdom
how long did you last
I'm very curious too
Facts
i’m checking in, it’s been over a year, are you happy with yourself a year later?
@@harlojack yes I am thank you
I think i`ve watched this like 20 times already, never gets old
So sad he didn't write it, and is reading words off a screen in front of him. So sad people believe actors. You are actually hearing the words of an intern that worked weeks to refine the speech only to receive no glory and nearly minimum wage. I stand with her and wish more people recognize that actors giving speeches... are actors... giving speeches - just like a movie.
really
Me too
Daniel W very very well said,
Same!
I HEARD EVERY WORD AND REPEATED THE SPEECH OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN ,
THANK YOU FOR THE TRUTH MATTHEW .
So Transparent.
He spoke his heart out.
Pranav Sharma Authentic!!!
Pranav Sharma love him s’much
he did
He is a very passionate speaker.
actually he just read it
When he speaks he sounds like your friend, its amazing
I've been addicted to drugs, junk food, gaming, porn, victim mentality and i'm sure a few others I can't think of right now. I have spent the last 3 years trying to change those bad habits. While i'm not where I want to be, I am where i'm at, trying to improve, not daily, but chipping away slowly.
I think the best things you can do, this is just what's worked for me, taking care of yourself more, having self respect, not caring what others think, living my life the way I want it to be lived, eating well and lifting weights/ exercising. Find and pursue those things you love. Anyway, I just wanted to hear Mr McConaughey's voice. Texas ranger.
Most underrated speech I’ve ever heard !
This is wonderful.... He has the answers to what everyone needs to use to cope, to understand themselves , be the best they can be, be true to themselves and the list goes on... Very knowledgeable and informative. I sure pray that he makes the choice to run for Governor of Texas because Texans really need good leadership and would work with him to help make Texas great again. I will be having a meeting with our next Governor with proof of what has been happening and how and line things up so changes could be made along with others I’m sure.
This has ripped me completely open. I didnt even like him before this. I am utterly astounded.
Imagine what else is out there
Thank you Matthew McConaughey ❗My late husband and myself used to Wade Fish real close to you in Port O'CONNOR Texas! Out of respect we gave you you your distance ! I woke up two days ago ago to your speech, I wish I had had heard it, 30 year's ago ! My late husband was a highly intelligent man, and we loved to converse, Apparently now is when I needed to hear your message ! When my Son comes home I, he will listen or I will tie him to the couch ! Thank you! !
What a beautiful speech. He is a philosopher of our time.
Fantastic. The Wayne Dyer of our generation.
This is just exceptional. Every “truth” or pint to live fully is so on point. If you cried at any point it’s hitting your soul. Let it resonate. It all begins within ourselves. I’m learning this everyday.
Matthew Mccaunughey if I didn’t love you before (which I absolutely did) I just love you and respect you even more. You are spitting some true game at folks.
You've got this. :)
It hasn't moved me, I'm lost & scared.
@@SusanFowler-xf4zyI'm praying for you. Fear not. You are not alone. The sun is always shining somewhere in the world.
I never get tired of listening to this. About once a week in the a.m while I am getting ready for work, it just all resonates with me.
It's alright it's good speaker
Listen once a week while working out
Same here
sameee
As God and all of you are my witness, I will live these truths, cure my mental illness and save myself from utter despair. Today is the day I get to know myself. Today is day one. I will rebuild my relationship with my girlfriend and my children. I will get my career on track. I intend to do all of this. There is no alternative. So be it.
I'm late to the party, but I'm right there with you!
So profound...I have been beliving the negativity most of myself and hiding behind my fears of failure, but have been working hard at silencing those voices and resurrecting my dream of writing...at 65 soon to be 66 it might seem like an impossiblebility, but I am Journaling my big butt off... I am working on turning my mistakes into testimonials/affirmations... idream of writing, inserting pieces of myself and my valleys and mountains life experiences into fictional novels...thank you for this great speech it is very encouraging and inspiring.
Some people like big butts, lol.
So, so authentic and thoughtful. He is letting us in deep on his own psyche, and what he has worked out for himself, and telling us how he finds his peace and place. I don't know another person who is so open, revealing, thoughtful, and insightful. Much respect.
What a beautiful spiritual person. Love this guy. He’s so awoke. True human being
That statement of eliminating who you are not to find who you are is so profound. Best advice to give young people who are just becoming adults and have so much input from the world around us
Where is that line? Can u give me the time
@@Drawaditi9:13
Holy shit. One of the greatest speeches ever.
True and Powerful .... Positive and Honest ... Application seems to be the reason for lack .... Thank You ..
So many people have taken the I don’t give a care about how much someone can do with the words they say can cut like a sharp edged sword stuck in someone’s side in a rib. And all anyone ever does is just keep grinding it in deeper yet it takes only one person to smile and share some happiness and shows us joy and all take the time to love instead of reminding ourselves of what is being hated and eliminate the hatred and only bring joy and peace to everyone. Love this speech.
I agree so much time is spent dwelling on the people who hurt us and say things they don’t mean as a person in a short lived life being angry and complaining it’s so much wasted time and so much of life is wasted being angry and upset and agitated we end up only have lived a unhappy life and it takes our peace and joy away from our souls and every day we are here it eats away the good and pushes out the bad and if we allow the horrible ones out of us .
Wow wow and wow again ,I spent 2 days listening to this stopping it and taking down notes , so many metaphors and quotes blew me away and really made me think not just think but understand... outstanding.. it just a shame those behind him didn’t even look awake !!!. Not an once of appreciation crossed their faces, well their loss, and a big loss at that ..all of us leaving comments were awake and very appreciative. Thank you
I agree, for a moment I thought they were statues until I saw an eye blink, then I realized they were live....maybe they were just soaking it all in. Thank you Sir for this inspiring message 🙏
That is true you can have Heaven on earth for me it’s my closeness to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and reading His word the Bible KJV the more you read Gods Word the further you get in Heaven.
Thank you Mr. McConaughey God Bless you and those you love.
This voice
This meaning
This speech
I spent almost 10 times day and night interchangeably, I really started to work on my life path…
I rarely ever comment but needed to here…
Since my separation and divorce from the same man …
I’ve been with him my entire life for 17 years - I am now 34.
Since separation -I’ve been doing the inner intense healing work on myself, therapy and listening to motivational or educational videos at night - such as this is one .. which btw is one the best I’ve come across as far. I’ve been watching one video at night for the last five months and this is one of the top five videos. I appreciate Matthews ability to articulate the message that he wants to spread and stick and I found myself stopping to take notes throughout to make sure that I don’t miss any of those GEMS he dropped.
I will definitely be sharing with my friends and family and thank you and your channel for posting such amazing videos I am a subscriber and I always appreciate your uploads.
Know that you were making such a difference in folks live such as myself during very difficult times.
Thank you for all of your hard work and I know this is coming from not just myself but thank you for all of us!!
💞💞💞💫💫💫✨🙏🏾
I watch this at least once a month to reinforce & remind me that there is real genuine people out there.
This could quite possibly be the most prolific speech that these students will ever hear. It may take years for these students to understand all the words that have been spoken, and apply them in their lives. But at least someday they will look back probably in their 40s and be like wow… This man speaks truth.
I've watched this 100 + times easily to have a full understanding n engraving it in my brain to ELEVATE n SUCCEED .. GOD BLESS EVERYONE 🙏
Thanks for your blessings from India ❤
It's so refreshing, so good, so inspiring to see someone with the influence power as Mr McConaughey's inform our younger ones of what's coming, how to look at life and themselves in the right way... Thank you, M.M., I'll never get tired of listening to it.
@matthewmcconaughey969 Well... That reaction, I'd say, says a lot about a person. And it is my pleasure, by the way💜.
I'm texting from the United Kingdom.
Life hurts often. I'm just happy to have little moments of happiness every now and again.
The five things that define my joy is stability, unity, confidence, spirituality and BALANCE
2 things. 1) I found the 40:47 speech the most powerful thing I've ever heard. 2) Still...I am truly stunned that 1.2k human beings don't like it, and actually took the time to acknowledge their dislike.
I think personally it’s more important to find contentment. If you can be content no matter what comes your way you can be truly at peace
I LOVED IT! Especially at the 32 min. mark when that "Big/Strong!" woman came walking through right behind him(giving a rather stern glance) just as he was saying something about "overcoming your fear". I "instantly" took this as being "a sign" that "HE" should be fearful of HER! I smiled about this and replayed it a couple of times, rather joyfully. And then, upon "going back" a bit further into his talk about "fear" I've reevaluated my "decision". "SHE" was likely "MOTIVATED" into "sucking it up"(the fear) and getting out of her seat and walking right across the screen. And that short, but stern "glance" was her "Acknowledgement"(showing off?) of "SEE THERE! I AIN'T AFRAID!". And if THIS "version" is actually "the truth"... Matthew McConaughey is "healing" people as he speaks here!!!
I love this dude. He can not be replaced and we are better for having him in our lives
We're in a process, the approach is the destination and we are never finished.
I went on a thruhike for 6 months 7 years ago and I stumbled on this speech at the beginning of my hike, listened to it throughout my hike and helped me realize alot of things that is happening in my life, I’ve thru hiked every year ever since and I’ve listened to this over and over just in time I needed a reminder…
Every time life does get tough I listen to this clip. This is one of the best speeches ever to bring you back on track!
Agreed! It's helped me in allot of ways
ive gone through hell and back the last two years after a barn fire doubt self-esteem issues self medicating .my fear of failure have come true this video in the am and at night has helped me beyond what i could have ever expected from a motivational speech theres a million of em but my life was lacking balance. im starting over after 41 years its hard may not make it but I'm here now and I listen and take mental notes translating through my every day. thanks, tim hargrove
I’ve never heard such a speech that resonated with me so much in the point in my life right now. 💕 Thank you for that
So true.
@@rcalante do h
Me too! Hope you’re well we’re all in this together I just broke my long funk and energy and facing fears not avoiding and freezing in fear to make a few texts or phone calls for help. Asking for help is the hardest thing but once I took the first step and just did something toward a goal momentum builds I’m back in flow and taking the small and big wins as success doing and not caring the outcome.
Then you’re just in the moment
It haunts me that the old guy is unknowingly sitting and listning in the background 🥺, never forget, pause, enjoy, smile, take a deep breath, and remind yourself of how beautiful life is 😊 always try to atleast say hello or compliment someone a day, you never know how much it actually means.
If you feel lost or need guidance,this will definitely inspire you!! I can't put in words how much inspiration it has given me.what a great guy really wise .thank you thank you thank you🙏
I watch this and cry my eyes out. So personal and absolutely soul finding.
Such an impactful speech.
I'm goin thru hard time at the minute and I came across this speech and know I've a new found life after listening to him and wat gets me the most is to erase who you are not to find who u are thank you Matthew Jason in Ireland is so thankful 🤗
He has a great book called Greenlights you should read it 😊
This was such an inspiring video I have been having a hard time finding what I REALLY want to do in live what I'm really passionate about and this speech just opened my up to a world of things I was missing. Thank you Matthew McConaughey!!!!
Love the line "What you are NOT." Very true, very powerful.
I'm from Portugal, you can imagine English is not my first language, but I still got good enough be like 12 and saw Contact and all that touched me - it touched me. This person is special. The many different movies he's been in is an undeniable proof.
For me this is like, why keep endlessly hoping for Jesus, when you have humans like him around? We are it if we can muster like he does all his life. Even if we can't, someone like him can do. Keep trying to be the best you can for everyone around you, eventually another great person like Matthew will come. Not just Jesus, the fellow person you grew up with.
Cheers all.
Heard this audio before. But never saw the video. One of my favorites ever. Made me like Mathew even more.
God bless 🙏
Same here. First time I watched the video but I’ve heard the audio multiple times. It seems like the people in the background have heard it multiple times too lol, they look unimpressed lol
One of the best speeches ever!
He just keeps giving me reasons to adore him. Loved this speech! 🥰
This is one man's view of the world and himself. Not yours. Happiness is a state of being not the result of a favorable outcome. Some times Happiness results from that. But I can smile just watching my dogs play and it makes me happy. We all have the capacity for good and evil. Sometimes what we are is forced on us and sometimes we choose it based on survival or acceptance.
His speeches are so great
SO much truth in one video, this guy has indeed been through the Hero's journey. I only wish we could hear the applause at the end of this speech!
Checking in with those 5 main value systems is huge, having balance and the awareness is the key to living a "balanced" and true life to who you really are
I don’t know why I’m crying watching this.
Thank you Matthew for your wisdom. You are at the cusp & border of the land of Good and Evil but we can’t cross to the truth because wisdom, good or evil is contained there and many don’t cross over to the Truth. Soon a choice will be presented to cross or stay in the finite wisdom of Good & Evil
I have always like Matthew as an actor but I had no idea he's such great human being, plus super eloquent to boot. I'm truly impressed - huge kudos Matthew!!!!!
Thank you I saw this after stressing all night and wanting to just settle for a life that i know I want and deserve better so back to working for what i set my original goals for. Doe it all once and potential was said to be good. Why not now make them great . Im destined to live,teach and learn what we all deserve.
The best speech ever. Thank you Matthew McConaughey. Must respect.
Run for President Matthew this country needs someone like you!!
I've listened to this several times and it always helps me.
My secret to life is living moment by moment, when you live day by day minute by minute your life is less stressful and all anxiety leaves and you are able to perform 4 jobs a day rather just one job. I own over 80 properties, groom dogs, i enjoy our vacations, 4 grandchildren and i jog 2 miles every day. Some will say ," how do I do all this in one day?" I never sit down and I live moment by moment. God bless everyone. Some people will never find the happy medium because their life is drama which is all they will ever know. Humans are creatures of habit. Good luck to those who won't let themselves live their lives moment by! moment. Great speech Matthew
Best point: “Don’t leave crumbs.”
What a very smart and humble man . So much wisdom here in his talk . He is also one of the very few actors I liked immediately . Thank you for this great video .
Thank you, Matthew! I work in a very competitive environment, joy is so much profound than happy. It helps me every single day.
Life has been multiple highs & lows, I have seen the third Eye, yet my circle does not acknowledge these truths, so my life has become a battle of Egos, Truths & a breakdown of my husband's stage 4 Cancer. He lived his previous life running Marathons, 17 to count & we as family were absence towards his training & obsession. I took care of everyone in his absence & obvious obsessions. DINNER WAS ALWAYS ON THE TABLE. I want to envelope my Own energy, to be what I thought Always to be Selfish, I have Always neglected myself for my ultimate goal of unconditional love.
I enjoyed listening to this, was sent to me by my uncle in my hard times. All what Matthew says is so true and right. Thank you for such powerful motivation words.
Yeah I could listen to him all day. He talks sense in todays society which was in an older society that has been lost. So inspirational
" an honest man's pillow.. is his peace of mind.." thank you Mathew
This is a line from the John Mellenamp song "Minutes to Memories" off of the Scarecrow album. If I recall, he is a big Mellencamp fan.

The world would be a better place if everyone heard this. BEST LIVE LESSONS!
Well , I must admit. Something’s and people in this beautiful world still amaze me. I believe this world the people on it are always learning. After your worst days there is always the tomorrow perhaps finding a temperance in life will show you life is a Balance . Everything in moderation and balance within yourself will provide the results you seek. I love this speech. Remember always the biggest power in this world is not hate and destruction. Ask yourself who am I? Do I have Love within me? How do I share this with the world? LOVE is the greatest gift you have ever received. Never forget that. Who Are YOU?
This whole graduation speech is fantastic, I truly don’t think it’s possible to define how good it is, life changing maybe, but I think the ending is the best…
14 minutes in , "crumbs" SOOOOOO SOOOOOO TRUE!!! I guess ole Matthew McConaughey is a pretty good ole dude. I enjoyed his talk and will listen this again.
Mathew McConaughey did a really great job with this, it hits hard for everyone love this
1st time watching this 3-9-23 it's crazy that the only person to have her eyes closed is THE ONE OF FEW PEOPLE THAT NEEDS the attention every time THEY ARE on the the house floor NEEDS to actually has TO HEAR the words he is saying!!
Well said and well respected because of it. He has life experience you can tell by how well he articulates his thoughts. Look at the professors. As engaged as the audience. This is what real wisdom being shared looks like.
I have learned this outline for personality evolution in different words nearly 50 years ago. The phrasing was different, but the truths were the same. This warmed my heart and brought a cozy smile to my face.
It's good to see detective Cohle got his life together
Fawad Bahrami I spit up I laughed so hard at that. Lol. Right on....
why is this not the top comment?
Alright, alright, alright indeed. 👊
Yeah that was classic af lmao
Perhaps one of the best speeches I've ever heard. Each truth is relatable.
Undeniably one of the most influential characters of our time.
My first time listening to this, I need to listen again and take notes. This was so deep. The ending really is what I need and want to make friends with myself. Letting go of guilt and hurt has been so hard for me. I would love to go on a retreat somewhere and cleanse, purge rid of all things that have held me down for too long.
really feels good to see that there are people with similar mindset as you. the man portrays the future me.
