every celebrity biography: i will narrate to you the how and why i got into acting/modeling/influencering (?), and sprinkle it with some anecdotes and trauma to be relatable while subtly name dropping to make myself look important.

matthew mcconaughey: it was a dark january night, my dad was purchasing cocaine from the guy who fixed my bike after a bison ran over it after the big flood that took half of our living room...

“Conservative early, liberal late.

Create structure, so you can have freedom.

Create your weather, so you can blow in the wind.

Map your direction, so you can swerve in the lanes.

Clean up, so you can get dirty.

Choreograph, then dance.

Learn to read and write, before you start making up words.

Check if the pool has water in it, before you dive in.

Learn to sail, before you fly.

Initiations, before inaugurations.

Earn your Saturdays.

We need discipline, guidelines, context and responsibility early in any new endeavor.

It’s the time to sacrifice. To learn, to observe, to take heed.

If and when we get knowledge of the space, the craft, the people and the plan.

Then we can let our freak flag fly and create.

Creativity needs borders.

Individuality needs resistance.

The earth needs gravity.

Without them there is no form. No art. Only Chaos.”

- Mathew McConaughey, Greenlights

Greenlights Greenlights Hardcover – October 20, 2020 by Matthew McConaughey (Author) ---Brand New--- #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Discover the life-changing memoir that has inspired millions of readers through the Academy Award®–winning actor’s unflinching honesty, unconventional wisdom, and lessons learned the hard way about living with greater satisfaction. “The No. 1 celebrity memoir of the past 10 years.”—USA Today “McConaughey’s book invites us to grapple with the lessons of his life as he did—and to see that the point was never to win, but to understand.”—Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries. I found stories I experienced, lessons I learned and forgot, poems, prayers, prescriptions, beliefs about what matters, some great photographs, and a whole bunch of bumper stickers. I found a reliable theme, an approach to living that gave me more satisfaction, at the time, and still: If you know how, and when, to deal with life’s challenges—how to get relative with the inevitable—you can enjoy a state of success I call “catching greenlights.” So I took a one-way ticket to the desert and wrote this book: an album, a record, a story of my life so far. This is fifty years of my sights and seens, felts and figured-outs, cools and shamefuls. Graces, truths, and beauties of brutality. Getting away withs, getting caughts, and getting wets while trying to dance between the raindrops. Hopefully, it’s medicine that tastes good, a couple of aspirin instead of the infirmary, a spaceship to Mars without needing your pilot’s license, going to church without having to be born again, and laughing through the tears. It’s a love letter. To life. It’s also a guide to catching more greenlights—and to realizing that the yellows and reds eventually turn green too. Good luck. The short dust jacket included with this hardcover edition is an intentional design choice.

Reigniting Growth

“Most growth happens as a result of many small steps. The key is to keep taking them.” Resolutions and goals often start with grand ambitions, but the road to success is paved with more than just excitement. The real challenge lies in turning those dreams into reality through consistent action and a clear plan. Setting ambitious goals is inspiring, but without a solid strategy and daily…

“We must be aware of what we attract in life because it is no accident or coincidence. The spider waits in his web for dinner to come. Yes, we must chase what we want, seek it out, cast our lines in the water, but sometimes we don’t need to make things happen. Our souls are infinitely magnetic.”
