My wife and I -- my wife and I -- Camila -- we spent most of last week on the ground with the families in Uvalde, Texas, and we shared stories, tears, and memories. I needed to free myself from them Who was I? So, me, how do I define success? Number six. Guilt and regret kills many a man before their time. From can to want. Its a cause and effect quid-pro-quo standard that we cannot sustain Were not watching ourselves on the jumbotron performing the very act that were in the middle of. These are the crumbs. OK, I got nothing against money. Matthew McConaughey: (12:43) Matthew McConaughey: (33:42) You hear me? You may know him from a good amount of movies, but I now know him from the 5Minutes Speech not a movie. Now, theres always an initiation period with these trips. Having the courage to act on it. It was not a ticket. It is result reliant. But what is it worth? In 1992, I got my first job as an actor. Now, in rewatching the film, and youll agree if you know Wooderson, Wooderson is not a guy who would ever say, later, and then come back to see if you were sure you didnt want to go. One was in high school in the early 1970sa time when a high school GED got you a job and college degree was exemplary. My point is, I should NOT have been in THAT scene, I should have exited screen left and never come back. I want to skip the flattery and the attaboys. And when Larry finished his story and was about to walk away, Coach Royal put his gentle hand on his shoulder and he very discreetly said, Hey, Larry, you got something on your nose there, bud. Larry immediately hurried to the bathroom mirror where he saw some of the white powder that he hadnt cleaned up his nose. Most from experience, some of them I heard in passing, many of them Im still practicing, but all of them I do believe are true. Time slowed down. What success is to you? These are faith-based obligations that we make on our own. I think it was 150 grand. In the job market? I think fear is a good thing. See, I crossed the truth that morning. He purged his sins to coach. I got rid of my lucky and faithful American cat. So I got a friend over one Friday night, were having a good time and Im telling her about how happy I am with my setup. Theyre adventures, one, but theyre also a purge. Eliminate who you are NOT first, and youll find yourself where you need to be. A blue ribbon, a statue, a score, a great idea, the love of our life, a euphoric bliss. Thats not the first step. A few hours later I returned to camp and packed for my continued journey onto Machu Pichu. Do this, and let them tap us on the shoulder and say, hey, you scored. Let them tell you You won. Let them come tell you, you can go home now. Let them say I love you too. Let them say thank you.. But we all want to succeed, right? Whether thats prayer, meditation, a walkabout, being in right company, a road trip, whatever it is for you. I like to see whether or not Im in the debit section or the credit section with each one. The place where what we want is also just what we need. So I stayed awhile. Short and sweet or long and salty? Matthew McConaughey: (36:51) I mean, lets admit it. All right.

The sooner that we become less impressed with our life, with our accomplishments, with our career, with whatever that prospect is in front of us, the sooner we become less impressed and more involved with that and these things, the sooner we get a whole lot better at doing it. Thirteens never done me wrong. That side when we humans underperform or act out of our best character. Well, instead of denying these fears, declare them, say them out loud, admit them, give them the credit they deserve. Rules to abide by in the name of accountability. For instance, sometimes say my careers rolling. Oilers up 283 at halftime, 353 early in the 3rd. Offers may be subject to change without notice. What do we gossip about? But its not. But whats it worth in the job market out there today? We shouldnt create these restrictions on ourselves.

And there are not enough cops in the entire world to police themIts on YOU. These are not the lowered insurance rates for a good driving record. Matthew McConaughey: (18:00) I mean, I get butterflies every morning before I go to work. I also thought about what I WANT to say. Mom and dad, since we were young, they teach us things as children. Were obsessed with failure, we dissect failure in our failures. Where we dont have to look over our shoulder because were too busy doing what were good at. Our best friends lie to us. Good afternoon, everyone. Usually because were not in the right place to do so. Get over it and get on with it. Matthew McConaughey: (10:12) A limit where we think its all too good to be true. And he had picked up a bad habit of snorting the white stuff somewhere along the line. 1,116 Sponsored Ad We as human beings tend to seek out happiness whether we realize it or not and the truth is, happiness is not as simple as we want it to be. Joy is the feeling we have from doing what we are fashioned to do, no matter the outcome. And my anxieties were greatly eased. But what IS happiness? They aim on the other side of the target. Because you just eliminated the whos, the wheres, the whats and the when that were keeping you from your identity. Life is not a popularity contest. Matthew McConaughey: (06:31) DONT DRINK THE KOOL AID!! Dont try to make it that way. And at one particular party after a bathroom break, Larry went confidently up to his mentor Darrell, and he started telling him a story. Remember Darrell Royal? Because we arent thinking of the finish line. Its an if, then cause and effect, quid pro quo standard that we cannot sustain, because we immediately raise it every time we attain it. I dont know. Got my college degree in 1993. No. So give yourself a break. Again, it just happens and it happens every day. All of these badges and banners and expectations and anxieties I was carrying with me. But I am here to talk brass tacks. And if we get that far. He told him how embarrassed he was and how he had lost his way in the midst of all this fame and fortune. I was naked. And when you do, you get stronger, you get more aware, you get more respectful of yourself, and that which you fear. Matthew McConaughey: (22:38) Nothing that we Homo sapien earthlings do is unbelievable. Remember, joy is state of being you can cultivate with time, patience, and practice, and believe me, it is well worth it! Should never come out of our mouths. Under Title 17 U.S.C. Maybe its a happy marriage. Well, by the end of the shoot, by the end of the film, those three lines and turned into over three weeks worth, and it was mine. Or that computer screen, that computer screen that keeps giving us an excuse not to get out of the house and engage with the world and get some real human interaction? So lets flip the script. If youre looking for a good way to spend your next 10 Those people, those places, those thingsSTOP giving them your TIME and ENERGY. I find that most of the times our obsession with what is wrong, just ends up breeding more wrong, more failure. WebIsn't it the time you try GNatural? Few hours later, I returned to camp. Thank you for having me. You see, happiness demands a certain outcome, it is result reliant. Now theres always an initiation period with these trips. Well, it was the night of the 12th day in my 21 day trip. You dont have the answers and is probably pretty damn scary. Translated on-screen subtitles for videos. Humility is not vogue anymore. It is considered one of the best motivational speeches of all time. Trust me, too many options. Many of you dont even have a job at all. McConaughey had me completely captivated from his first word to his last. So we have to consciously put ourselves in a place to receive that clarity. Because we arent thinking of the finish line, were not looking at the clock, were not watching ourselves on the Jumbotron performing the very act we are in the middle of. Take the lid off the man made roofs that we put above ourselves and always play like an underdog. People are telling me Im good at what Im doing. Matthew McConaughey: (24:12) Tastes so good going down but makes us feel like crap the next week when we feel lethargic and keep putting on weight? You didnt pay that guy back the money that you owed him and tonight you just saw him three rows behind you. I was naked, literally and figuratively. The sudden fame Id just gotten was somewhat unbalancing. When were depressed. See, happiness demands a certain outcome. Webmatthew mcconaughey motivational speech Matthew McConaughey, producer and Academy Award winning actor, delivers one of th Special offer: $45 off with code But for most of you, the future is probably still pretty fuzzy. Right? We get better at themand have more to dissect. She washes my clothes, the dishes puts fresh water by my bed, leaves me cooked meal sometimes.

I was settling into camp, Id already hiked 80 miles to this point and had a three-day trek to Machu Pichu ahead of me. The maid. So this director of that film, Richard Linklater, he kept inviting me back to set each night, putting me in more scenes which led to more lines, all of which I happily said yes to. That college degree? Life is not easy. Or say my spiritual health could use some maintenance. Number five. Number seven. Defining ourselves by what we are NOT is the first step that leads us to really KNOWING WHO WE ARE. Get some ROI. No, were in process, the APPROACH IS THE DESTINATION and we are NEVER finished. Now, out of respect for you and your efforts in getting your degree, I thought long and hard about what I could share with you tonight. Thank you for having me. Please update your browser at http://update.microsoft.com. Hopefully, were both going to be happy on both accounts. When do we write in our diary? I was present, out of my own way, not anticipating next, embracing only what was in front of my eyes, and giving everything the justice it deserved. We got commitments, we got deadlines, fix this, do that, plans, expectations, and they all make it hard to get clarity and peace of mind. It means you got an education. He was a friend of mine and a good friend of many people. And that college degree in 93 did not mean much. I was lonelydisgusted with the company I was keeping: MY OWNand doing a pretty good job of mentally beating the shit out of myself. And after that, the whole trip is really fun and smooth sailing. TIME may receive compensation for some links to products and services on this website. A few hours later, I awoke on this thirteenth morning to a rising sun. Frank Reich and the Bills come back to win 4138 in overtime for one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history. But dont take my word for it. Alright. Im worried about you and me. At that moment, for the first time on this trip, I had stopped anticipating what was around the corner, stopped thinking about what was coming up next and what was up ahead. I just want to be happy. I hear that all the time. But unbelievable? And its not our right to say or believe it is. Instead of creating outcomes that take from us, lets create more outcomes that pay us back, fill us up, keep your fire lit, turn you on for the most amount of time in your future. But if we stay in process within ourselves in the joy of the doing, we will never choke at the finish line. To actually take it into our daily lives and practice it. You. You see happiness. Matthew McConaughey: (11:59) He told him how embarrassed he was, and how hes lost his way in the midst of all the fame and fortune and towards the end of an hour, Larry, in tears, asked Coach, What do you think I should do? Now, Coach, being a man of few words, just looked at him and calmly confessed himself. Happiness is an emotional response to an outcomeIf I win I will be happy, if I dont I wont. Joy, though, is something else. Now, in rewatching the film, (and youll agree if you know Wooderson), he was not a guy who would ever say, later, and then COME BACK to see if you were sure you didnt wanna come with him.. No, when Wooderson leaves, Woodersons gone, he doesnt stutter step, flinch, rewind, ask twice, or solicit, right? Because it increases our NEED to overcome that fear. If I dont, I wont. So turn the page, get off the ride. I have two older brothers. We end up intoxicated with them to the point of disillusion. MR. MCCONAUGHEY: Thank you. These are whats important to me in my life. Ask yourself how it works for you. How about that food that we keep eating? What was up ahead. You ever felt that way? Think about it. Why? But back then making my first film, getting invited back to the set, cashing that check and having a ball, I wanted more screen time. Say the fear out loud, admit it, give them the credit they deserve. And that is the place that Im talking about. Short and sweet or long and salty? We can dissect ourselves into self loathing if were not carefuland I find that most of the times our obsession with what is wrong just breeds more wrong and more failure. Try to be outside much more than inside. Coach listened as he always had and when Larry finished his story and was about to walk away, Coach Royal put a gentle hand on his shoulder and very discreetly said, Larry, you got something on your nose there bud. Larry immediately hurried to the bathroom mirror where he saw some white powder he hadnt cleaned off his nose. How about that bar that we keep going to that we always seem to have the worst hangover from? To help others? I think it was 150 grand. Why? Forgot the punch line to a joke in front of 4,000 graduating students at the University of Houston commencement. Most from experience; some of them I heard in passing. Lets admit it, we all got two wolves in us, a good one and a bad one, you know what Im talking aboutand they BOTH wanna eat We just gotta feed that good wolf a little more than the other one. Thank you, good luck, and just keep living. Well, I didnt want it there. Why? You know what I mean, fumbled at the goal line, stuck your foot in your mouth once you got the microphone, had a brain freeze on the exam you were totally prepared for, forgot the punch line to a joke in front of four thousand graduating students at a University of Houston Commencement speech? A sugar doughnut or some oatmeal? Money. Im in south of New Orleans a few years ago, and I went to a voodoo shop. And I say thats okay. These are whats important to me in my life right now. You leave crumbs today, they will cause you more stress tomorrow. Im talking about the ones we make with ourselves, with our God, with our own consciousness. All right. And you know what can happen when we do THATsometimes we dont like what we see. The local Sherpas I was traveling with even noticed, calling out to me, sois luz Mateo, sois luz!! Even the local Sherpas I was traveling with, they noticed calling out to me. Give others and yourself more credit. Im not worried about the monkeys. Getting the funk. Define success for yourself. Checks and balances. Matthew McConaughey: (00:01) You witnessed it. What are crumbs? The greatest snipers and marksmen in the world, they dont aim at the target. Matthew McConaughey: (11:05) Soaked in sweat, I [inaudible 00:40:40]. For instance, sometimes my career is rolling (in the black) but I see how my relationship with my wife could use a little more attention. I let go of the guilt. Number eight. See how Im doing, be forced to be my own and only company, to have a look in MY mirror. This may cut a little close to the bone since the geography, but I think we all were there and we will all remember where we were. All those are reasonable aspirations. Or maybe youve had that feeling of Oh my God, life cant get any better, do I deserve this?. Traveling towards immortal finish lines. So the question that we got to ask ourselves is what success is to us? He does not stutter step, flinch, rewind, ask twice or solicit. Here we go. And I noticed two scenes that I really shouldnt have been in. Surprisingly fresh and energized, I dressed, made some tea and went for a morning walk. We write our book. So you see every day, every week, every month and every year of my life, my heros always 10 years away. I know thats what I want to live. Well, instead of denying those fears, declare them.

You may know him from a good amount of movies, but I now know him from the 5Minutes Speech not a movie. Now, theres always an initiation period with these trips. Having the courage to act on it. It was not a ticket. It is result reliant. But what is it worth? In 1992, I got my first job as an actor. Now, in rewatching the film, and youll agree if you know Wooderson, Wooderson is not a guy who would ever say, later, and then come back to see if you were sure you didnt want to go. One was in high school in the early 1970sa time when a high school GED got you a job and college degree was exemplary.

A blue ribbon, a statue, a score, a great idea, the love of our life, a euphoric bliss. Thats not the first step. A few hours later I returned to camp and packed for my continued journey onto Machu Pichu. Do this, and let them tap us on the shoulder and say, hey, you scored. Let them tell you You won. Let them come tell you, you can go home now. Let them say I love you too. Let them say thank you.. But we all want to succeed, right? Whether thats prayer, meditation, a walkabout, being in right company, a road trip, whatever it is for you. I like to see whether or not Im in the debit section or the credit section with each one.

Thirteens never done me wrong. That side when we humans underperform or act out of our best character.

For instance, sometimes say my careers rolling. Oilers up 283 at halftime, 353 early in the 3rd. Offers may be subject to change without notice. What do we gossip about? But its not.

Matthew McConaughey: (06:31) DONT DRINK THE KOOL AID!! Dont try to make it that way. And at one particular party after a bathroom break, Larry went confidently up to his mentor Darrell, and he started telling him a story. Remember Darrell Royal?

But I am here to talk brass tacks. And if we get that far. He told him how embarrassed he was and how he had lost his way in the midst of all this fame and fortune. I was naked.

Because we arent thinking of the finish line, were not looking at the clock, were not watching ourselves on the Jumbotron performing the very act we are in the middle of. Take the lid off the man made roofs that we put above ourselves and always play like an underdog. People are telling me Im good at what Im doing. Matthew McConaughey: (24:12) Tastes so good going down but makes us feel like crap the next week when we feel lethargic and keep putting on weight? You didnt pay that guy back the money that you owed him and tonight you just saw him three rows behind you. I was naked, literally and figuratively.

TIME may receive compensation for some links to products and services on this website. A few hours later, I awoke on this thirteenth morning to a rising sun. Frank Reich and the Bills come back to win 4138 in overtime for one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history. But dont take my word for it. Alright. Im worried about you and me. At that moment, for the first time on this trip, I had stopped anticipating what was around the corner, stopped thinking about what was coming up next and what was up ahead. I just want to be happy. I hear that all the time. But unbelievable? And its not our right to say or believe it is. Instead of creating outcomes that take from us, lets create more outcomes that pay us back, fill us up, keep your fire lit, turn you on for the most amount of time in your future. But if we stay in process within ourselves in the joy of the doing, we will never choke at the finish line. To actually take it into our daily lives and practice it. You. You see happiness. Matthew McConaughey: (11:59) He told him how embarrassed he was, and how hes lost his way in the midst of all the fame and fortune and towards the end of an hour, Larry, in tears, asked Coach, What do you think I should do? Now, Coach, being a man of few words, just looked at him and calmly confessed himself. Happiness is an emotional response to an outcomeIf I win I will be happy, if I dont I wont. Joy, though, is something else. Now, in rewatching the film, (and youll agree if you know Wooderson), he was not a guy who would ever say, later, and then COME BACK to see if you were sure you didnt wanna come with him.. No, when Wooderson leaves, Woodersons gone, he doesnt stutter step, flinch, rewind, ask twice, or solicit, right? Because it increases our NEED to overcome that fear. If I dont, I wont. So turn the page, get off the ride. I have two older brothers. We end up intoxicated with them to the point of disillusion. MR. MCCONAUGHEY: Thank you. These are whats important to me in my life. Ask yourself how it works for you. How about that food that we keep eating? What was up ahead. You ever felt that way? Think about it. Why? But back then making my first film, getting invited back to the set, cashing that check and having a ball, I wanted more screen time. Say the fear out loud, admit it, give them the credit they deserve. And that is the place that Im talking about. Short and sweet or long and salty? We can dissect ourselves into self loathing if were not carefuland I find that most of the times our obsession with what is wrong just breeds more wrong and more failure. Try to be outside much more than inside. Coach listened as he always had and when Larry finished his story and was about to walk away, Coach Royal put a gentle hand on his shoulder and very discreetly said, Larry, you got something on your nose there bud. Larry immediately hurried to the bathroom mirror where he saw some white powder he hadnt cleaned off his nose. How about that bar that we keep going to that we always seem to have the worst hangover from? To help others? I think it was 150 grand. Why? Forgot the punch line to a joke in front of 4,000 graduating students at the University of Houston commencement. Most from experience; some of them I heard in passing. Lets admit it, we all got two wolves in us, a good one and a bad one, you know what Im talking aboutand they BOTH wanna eat We just gotta feed that good wolf a little more than the other one. Thank you, good luck, and just keep living. Well, I didnt want it there. Why? You know what I mean, fumbled at the goal line, stuck your foot in your mouth once you got the microphone, had a brain freeze on the exam you were totally prepared for, forgot the punch line to a joke in front of four thousand graduating students at a University of Houston Commencement speech?
