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.

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.

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!

[@leslie6733]

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.

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.

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 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!!!

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.

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…

[@lindalangford4470]

Perhaps one of the best speeches I've ever heard. Each truth is relatable.

[@HappyHappy-sb9vn]

I've listened to this several times and it always helps me.

[@jackiemorris66]

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

[@gerthor1473]

The world would be a better place if everyone heard this. BEST LIVE LESSONS!

[@tracybrown1942]

I’ve always loved Matthew because I thought that he’s beautiful, now I see he’s awesome as a human being. What an awesome speaker. His message really spoke to me ❤️ please keep up your good work 0:33

[@karlihoppie3547]

Praise God! Someone using his God-given gifts for the Lord!! Love love love all the Truth in this video!

[@tonygareth221]

Karli Binkley There is no God such as the one taught in the man-made Bible so his “talents” surely didn’t come from the God you’re referring to

[@tonygareth221]

Funny Farm It disappointed me that he mentioned God at all. It ruined the speech.

[@ronnyraves]

Tony Gareth damn you’re really commenting on every post about god and religion on here aren’t you?

[@Mykidsaresmarterthanyours]

Oh my fucking christ.... you stopped the video because he didn't put god in his top 5. Insanity

[@Kickasaurus13]

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…

[@boyzrulethawld1]

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!

[@jamesdean6502]

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?

[@justiceinournation2701]

Let’s Pray: Lord, my joy is found in you. You are my salvation and my strength. Whatever my circumstances, whatever fears or anxieties I have, whatever darkness lurks on the horizon, whatever is happening in the world around me, you are my salvation and my joy. When the world around me seems confusing and hopeless, I pray that you would fill me with incredible hope in your goodness, grace and sovereignty over all things. Help me fix my gaze on you all the days of my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

[@elizebot4238]

I could listen to him speak all day, he can just say random words I will be in heaven, what a man

[@ioanap.b.7770]

Thank you, Matthew! I work in a very competitive environment, joy is so much profound than happy. It helps me every single day.

[@darlaverkamp324]

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

[@garypayne423]

Mathew McConaughey did a really great job with this, it hits hard for everyone love this

[@BrentYoshida]

Grateful for his willingness to share these truths and life lessons. Inspired

[@YoWhoDat]

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.

[@explore__the__unseen1032]

I first heard this speech back in 2017, I hiked for 6 months in the summer of 2018 and this speech was on loop the whole summer, listen to it ever since. Such a great speech, makes you really think.

really feels good to see that there are people with similar mindset as you. the man portrays the future me.

[@andrewmiller4885]

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 .

[@clarissajohnny6479]

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.
