Youโre not unhappy โ youโre ungrateful. Half the things you complain about today are things you once prayed to have. The job, the relationship, the roof, the people โ somebody is begging God for the exact life youโre scrolling past. Perspective will fix what your mood canโt. Count it before you curse it. Gratitude is the cure nobody wants to take. Sit with that.
Matthew McConaughey reveals the difference between a nice guy and a good man
"A nice guy gets along. They don't necessarily have discernment or judgment, not sure what they stand for or stand against. It's like yes, yes, yes, sure"
"A good man has ideals that they stand for and they stand against. And when they're tested, a good man is not a nice guy"
"Being a good man is a lot harder for good reason. Not going to be the most popular. Not going to be always the most affable"
"It also doesn't mean you got to be a dick. It just means sometimes you got to go, I believe in this, this is for me, and that is not for me"
"A good man's not looking for trouble. But if it comes, and if something he cares about was trespassed on, a good man does what he can to stop that"
The fear of going backwards is hurting people:
1. Taking a job for less pay
2. Selling your big house for a smaller house when appropriate, or even renting
3. Breaking up with someone that isnโt right even though youโve been together for 4 years
4. Taken a lesser title even though the business is better
โฆ the โtake the step backโ is often the thing that launches people into happiness but their fear of judgement on the step back is stopping them from happiness. Itโs unfortunate because a lot of that is based on society's current POV and judgement - not people's true decisions.
If Drake has realized anything after the Kendrick beef, it's that he'll never win with "the culture" and the "real hip-hop" crowd. This isn't about him winning anything. This is like Iron Mike saying "I don't even want the title, keep it. Just fight me. I just wanna hurt 'em."
