Life's Not Easy

about

Most of the spoken word taken from a Matthew McConaughey speech.

lyrics

Life's not easy, it is not, don't try to make it that way.
Life's not fair, never was, isn't now. Won't ever be.

Eject
You gotta make it right with this thing.

We obsess with failure. We dissect failure and our failures. We dissect them so much we end up intoxicated with them to the point of disillusion.
When do we write in our diary? When we’re depressed. What do we gossip about? Other people’s flaws and limitations. We can dissect ourselves into self-loathing if we’re not careful. I find that most of the times our obsession with what is wrong just ends up breeding more wrong. More failure.
The easiest way to dissect success is through gratitude. Giving thanks for that which we do have. For what is working. Appreciating the simple things we sometimes take for granted. We give thanks for these things and that gratitude reciprocates
Life's not easy, it is not, don't try to make it that way.
Life's not fair, never was, isn't now. Won't ever be.
Eject
You gotta make it right with this thing.
Define success for yourself!!!!
Define success for yourself!!!!
You gotta make it right with this thing.

"Matthew McConaughey's entire speech, given at the University of Houston commencement in 2015, is an invaluable resource on life, how to approach it, learn from it, and succeed in it. McConaughey provides his advice in the form of 13 truths".
“Now they may be truths to me, but don’t think that that makes them mine because you cannot own a truth. So please think of these as signposts, approaches, paradigms, that give some science to satisfaction. They’re yours to steal, they’re yours to share, liken to your own lives, and to personally apply in your own lives, in your own way, should you choose to.” M McC.

I've chosen some positives to share with you.
