When Life Deals You a Tough Hand 5 Ways to Make the Best of a Negative Situation – Matthew Kelly Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe How Do You Think About Your Problems? 0:00 Look for the Lesson 0:38 Learn From It 0:46 Focus on the Good 0:52 It's OK to Be Sad! 0:55 Keep an Open Mind 1:05 Open Yourself to New Possibilities 1:13 Video Transcript: “Do you think more about the way things are, the way things could have been, or the way things might be in the future? What about when life deals you a miserable situation, do you consider the possibility that something amazing might come from it? Most of us, don’t. At least, not initially. We grieve, obsess, reminisce, and ruminate. These all have their place, but there comes a time to ask what good things could come from this unfortunate circumstance. But most of us don’t get taught essential life skills like this. Here are 5 ways to make the best of a negative situation: 1. Look for the lesson. 2. Study and develop coping skills particular to your situation. 3. Focus on healthy habits. 4. Allow yourself to be sad, but not all the time. Practice gratitude to draw you out of your sadness at least once a day. 5. Explore what new people and possibilities this situation will open your life to. Most of the time we don’t see most of the possibilities before us. This is uniquely true when life deals us an unexpected blow. Open yourself to new possibilities.” If you have not read LIFE IS MES, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #BestVersion

Why You Feel Lonely How Your Greatest Fear Is Affecting Your Relationships – Matthew Kelly – 60 Second Wisdom Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe Video Transcript: “You may be afraid of flying, spiders, heights, and snakes, but there is one fear that dominates the human experience. We all have it. It’s our greatest fear. It sabotages relationships. It produces existential loneliness. We're afraid that if people really knew us, they wouldn't love us. That’s our greatest fear. The real tragedy is that by pretending to be the person we think other people want us to be, we destroy our chances at really being loved. Because when someone does come along to say, “I love you” there’s a little voice in our head that says, “No you don’t. You love the person you think I am.” This is how people end up desperately lonely in a relationship. Hugh Prather observed, “Some people are going to like me and some won’t. So I might as well be myself, and then at least I’ll know that the people who like me, like me.”” If you have not read LIFE IS MES, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #60SecondWisdom #BestVersion

Laziness, procrastination, fear, doubt, instant gratification, self-loathing, indecision, escapism, pride, self-deception, friction, tension, and self-sabotage are just some of the ways resistance manifests its ugly self in our lives and causes us to settle for so much less than God has imagined for us. You cannot become the-best-version-of-yourself unless you wake up every morning ready to slay resistance. Resistance stands between you and happiness. Here are 4 ways to break through resistance and stop sabotaging yourself: 1. Be mindful when you are stressed, anxious, or over-tired, and learn ways to manage these states. 2. Abolish “If only…” thinking from your mind and life. 3. Whatever you are feeling – name it and own it! You are not your feelings, but if you avoid them, they will destroy you. 4. Develop one grounding habit that you do every day and NEVER miss. Run, walk, meditate, read… find your thing and ingrain it deep into your daily routine. And remember, don’t just be yourself, become the best version of yourself!” If you have not read LIFE IS MES, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #BestVersion

Resistance Kills 95% Of Peoples Dreams How to Overcome Resistance: A Practical Example – Matthew Kelly Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe A Personal Example of Resistance 0:00 Resistance is Ordinary 0:39 Resistance Kills 95% of All Dreams 0:49 Where Do We Find Resistance Each Day? 2:15 Video Transcript: “You have to break through resistance in order to accomplish even the smallest tasks. I catch myself in a battle with resistance many times a day. Here’s a simple example: I sit down to write, but instead I start checking my e-mail or thinking about what snacks will be required to write something great. This is resistance at work. Sure, I am an accomplished author and have written thirty books that have sold millions of copies, but just like every college student who sits down to write a paper, I will have to slay resistance in order to even get started. The thing about resistance is that it is so simple, so ordinary— and so paralyzing if we are not mindful of it. This is why most people who start writing a book never finish it. We all know people who are writing a book. I get requests from people all the time to help them get the book they are writing published. They are very keen to speak about the publishing process right now. I always say to them, “Focus first on writing your book. When your manuscript is finished and ready for a professional editor to look at, send me a copy, and then we can talk about publishing options.” More than 95 percent of them I never hear from again. Resistance gets the better of them. Imagine all the books that are unwritten because of resistance. I wonder if Mozart or Beethoven had an unwritten symphony, or if Picasso and Monet died with their greatest work inside them because of resistance. I wonder how many diseases have not been cured because resistance got between the scientist and the cure. I wonder how many things never got invented because inventors succumbed to resistance. How many men and women don’t have fabulous relationships because of resistance? Resistance is a slayer of dreams. Looking back on today, where did you encounter resistance? It was there, wasn’t it? In fact, if you really sat down and analyzed your day, you would discover that many times throughout the day you were in a tussle with resistance. We all battle resistance daily. The first step is to simply give resistance a name. Once you name it, you see it differently. Things that we cannot name tend to build in mystery and become dangerous. Simply naming, defining, and learning to recognize resistance in the moments of our days causes it to lose most of its power over us. It is no longer a mystery because we have named it. The first lesson when it comes to resistance is that you never defeat it once and for all. It is a daily battle. And remember, don’t just be yourself, become the best version of yourself!” If you have not read LIFE IS MES, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #BestVersion

How to Fall in Love RIGHT Be Careful Who (and What) You Fall in Love With – Matthew Kelly – 60 Second Wisdom Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe Video Transcript: “Who and what you fall in love with will determine everything! Some people fall in love with wonderful people, others fall in love with people who are controlling, manipulative, inattentive and selfish. But we don’t just fall in love with people, we fall in love in lots of ways. I remember the first time I hit a golf ball. It is one of the most vivid memories I have. We fall in love with music, running, reading, work, money, things, sports, alcohol, drugs, video games, anger, greed… Pedro Arrupe observed, "Nothing is more practical than falling in a love. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the mornings, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.” Who and what you fall in love with will determine everything!

Are you tired of setting goals and not accomplishing them? Do you procrastinate? Are you afraid to say what you really think and feel?

Did you Make This Mistake This Morning? Can One Decision Shape the Rest of Your Day? – Matthew Kelly – 60 Second Wisdom Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe Video Transcript: “The alarm clock goes off. It’s time to get out of bed. This is your first decision of the day. Will you get out of bed or hit the snooze button? You press the snooze button and roll over. What just happened? No big deal, right? Wrong. You just lost the first battle of the day. Resistance just kicked your butt. Resistance has broken your will before you’ve even gotten out of bed. You will most likely be its slave for the rest of the day. What is resistance? It’s that sluggish feeling of not wanting to do something that you know is good for you, it’s the inclination to do something that you unabashedly know is not good for you, and it’s everything in between. It’s the desire and tendency to delay something you should be doing right now. Don’t be a slave to resistance. Start by slaying it in that first moment of each day. And remember, don’t just be yourself, become the best version of yourself!” If you have not read LIFE IS MES, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #60SecondWisdom #BestVersion

What Would You Do With $100 Billion?! 3 Questions that Put Everything in Perspective – Matthew Kelly Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe When We Lose Perspective 0:00 What Would You Do with $100 Billion? 0:13 What Would You Do If You Knew You Were Dying? 0:35 What Would You Regret if You Died Today? 1:04 The Life You Want to Live 1:34 Video Transcript: “We all lose perspective on life from time to time. When that happens, it’s important to step back from who we are, where we are, and what we are doing, and take another look. Here are three questions to help you do that: 1. You get a call from an attorney tomorrow who tells you about a relative you never knew you had who has died and left you $100 billion dollars. If you knew you would never have to worry about money, what would you do with the rest of your life and what would you do with the money? 2. You go to the doctor tomorrow, she does some tests, comes back and says, “I’ve got some good news and some bad news. The good news is you are going to feel perfectly healthy until the moment you die. The bad news is five years from today you are going to die.” If you knew you only had five years to live, what would do over the next five years? 3. Now question three sounds a lot like question number two, but it’s different. You go to the doctor tomorrow, he does some tests, comes back and says, “I’ve got some good news and some bad news. The good news is you are going to feel perfectly healthy until the moment you die. The bad news is, you are going to die right now.” If you died right now, what would you never get to do that’s important to you? Most people spend more time thinking about their annual vacation than they do thinking about their life. When was the last time you sat down and really thought about the life you want? It is too easy to let another week, month, year slip by without really thinking about it. It‘s too easy to just let life happen to us. You don’t have to settle for the life you stumbled into.” If you have not read LIFE IS MES, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #BestVersion

The #1 Mistake Parents Make – Matthew Kelly – 60 Second Wisdom Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe Video Transcript: “One of the hardest things to do as a parent is to watch our children fail. And yet, failure is an inevitable part of all our lives. Failure is also an indisputable component of success. The temptation is to correct the mistakes in their homework, finish their art and science projects so theirs can be the best in the class, and protect them from failure every chance we get. But all of these are parenting mistakes. It’s hard to watch them make mistakes, it excruciating to let them fail, but little mistakes now massively increase the chances that they won’t make big mistakes later, and little failures now massively increase the chances that they won’t have big failures later. The biggest mistake we can make as parents is trying to prepare life for our children, by smoothing the path in front of them. Our job as parents isn’t to prepare the path for our children, it’s to prepare our children for the path.” If you have not read LIFE IS MES, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #60SecondWisdom #BestVersion

What's Your Satisfaction Score? How to INCREASE Your Satisfaction in Life – Matthew Kelly Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe How Satisfied Are You? 0:00 Your Satisfaction Score 0:09 How to Increase Satisfaction 0:35 3 Steps to Greater Satisfaction 1:05 Video Transcript: “Satisfaction is a beautiful thing, but so is dissatisfaction if we pay attention to it, because it will lead us to satisfaction. How satisfied are you with your personal life? Give yourself a score between one and ten in your mind. Now let’s look at your professional life. How satisfied are you with your professional life? Give yourself a score between one and ten. Now add the scores together and divide by two, and that is your satisfaction score. If you gave yourself a score of 7 for personal satisfaction and 5 for professional satisfaction, you overall satisfaction score is 6. Get yourself a notebook and give yourself a score once a week for personal satisfaction, professional satisfaction, and overall satisfaction. What will happen? First, you will become more satisfied in both areas of your life. Just measuring your satisfaction will drive greater intentionality and that will give birth to greater satisfaction. The other thing that will happen is, you will be aware when your satisfaction begins to drop, and you will know what is causing it. We all want to live deeply satisfying lives. The first step is to measure our current satisfaction. The second step is to do things that drive greater satisfaction in our lives. The third step is to be aware of when dissatisfaction is creeping into our lives so that we can address it quickly, rather than letting it fester. What’s your satisfaction score?” If you have not read LIFE IS MESSY, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #BestVersion

Do You Want Balance or Satisfaction? Can You Have a Deeply Satisfying Personal AND Professional Life? – Matthew Kelly – 60 Second Wisdom Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe Video Transcript: “If you had to choose between balance and satisfaction, which would you choose? The term work-life balance has become very popular in our culture over the past 20 years, but is balance really what we want? Some of the most satisfying times in my life have been working 100-hour weeks, and others have been laying on the beach doing nothing for a week. I’m not sure we want balance. I think we want our personal lives to be deeply satisfying, and we want our professional lives to be deeply satisfying, and we want to know that it’s possible to have both. The world tells us, if you want to have a deeply satisfying professional life you have to sacrifice your personal life, and if you want to have a great personal life you have to sacrifice your career. I believe both are possible, but neither are easy to accomplish. Now, let’s take a look at your satisfaction score.” If you have not read LIFE IS MESSY, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #60SecondWisdom #BestVersion

Work-Life Balance is a Myth! The Work-Life Balance Myth: What do you Really Want? – Matthew Kelly – 60 Second Wisdom Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe Video Transcript: “The work-life balance discussion was doomed from the start. Why? Because the concept itself is fatally flawed. Why? Because your work is part of your life. A big part of your life. In fact, we tend to spend more time working each day than we spend doing anything else. So, when companies started asking employees if they had work-life balance, they were essentially saying, “You’re work isn’t part of your life, and you spend more time working than anything else, how do you feel about that?” No surprise that people didn’t feel great about that. You cannot separate work from life. They are intimately linked. If you have a great day at work, you bring that energy home with you. If you are experiencing stress in your personal life, you bring that stress to work with you. Work-life balance is a myth. Next time you think you want it, drill down a little deeper, and work out what it is that you really want.” If you have not read LIFE IS MESSY, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #60SecondWisdom #BestVersion

The Happiness Cure – Matthew Kelly Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe What Makes Us Happy? 0:00 Physical Happiness 0:13 Emotional Happiness 0:23 Intellectual Happiness 0:43 Spiritual Happiness 0:54 Why Aren't We Happy? 1:08 Video Transcript: “We know what will make us happy. We may tell ourselves that we don’t know or that it is a mystery, but that’s not true. There are four aspects to the human person: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. Physically. If you eat the right sorts of food, and your sleep regularly, and you exercise regularly, how do you feel? You feel great. You feel more fully alive. You’re healthier and you’re happier. Emotionally. When you give focus to your relationships, how do you feel? You feel great. You switch your focus off self to others and what happens? You feel more fully alive, you increase your ability to love and as your ability to love increases your ability to be loved increases. Intellectually. You take 10 or 15 minutes a day to read a great book. What happens? You feel more fully alive, your vision of yourself expands, your vision of the world expands, and you’re happier. Spiritually. You take few moments each day in the classroom of silence. What happens? You get clear about who you are, what you are here for, and what matters most. And that clarity gives birth to greater happiness. Physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually, we know the things that fill our lives with happiness. We just don’t do them. Why? Because we are too busy. Too busy doing what? Too busy trying to be happy. That’s the great modern paradox. Start doing the beautifully simple things that you know will flood your life with happiness.” If you have not read LIFE IS MESSY, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #BestVersion

Ahhhh, you have noticed. We scratch our heads and wonder: Why would anybody do something so stupid? Don’t they know that’s going make them miserable? The answers are simple and surprising. No, they don’t know it’s going to make them miserable. People don’t wake up in the morning and think to themselves: “I wonder how I can make myself really miserable today?” Quite the opposite, in fact. People do stupid things because they mistakenly believe those stupid things will make them happy. And of course, sometimes, you and I, are those people. So, what stupid thing are you thinking about doing? What stupid thing are you already doing hoping it will make you happy? You are on a quest for happiness. We often pretend we don’t know what will make us happy, but it’s not true either/ the truth is, you know exactly what will make you happy.

The-Best-Version-Of-Yourself (in 60 Seconds) The Best Way to Live (in 60 seconds) – 3 Universal Principles – Matthew Kelly – 60 Second Wisdom Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe Video Transcript: “How is the best way to live? The greatest minds of every age have pondered this question. Here are three guiding principles: The First Principal: You are here to become the-best-version-of-yourself and help others to do the same. Make every decision based on whether or not it will help you become a-better-version-of-yourself. Anyone or anything that doesn’t help you become the-best-version-of-yourself is too small for you. The Second Principal: Fill your life with virtue. Two patient people will always have a better relationship than two impatient people. Two generous people will always have a better relationship than two selfish people. Virtue is the best measure of excellence in a human being. The Third Principal: Self-control. Success at anything depends on self-control, in particular the ability to delay gratification. Our health, relationships, personal finances, careers, parenting, and spiritual life all rise or fall based on our ability to exercise self-control and delay gratification. You cannot live your best life if you don’t know the best way to live.” If you have not read LIFE IS MESSY, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #60SecondWisdom #BestVersion

You get twenty-four hours. It is a pure form of equality. So how is it that some people get so much more out of each day? Energy. The differentiating factor is energy. Energy is our most valuable resource, not time. For too long we have been subscribing to myths. Time is our most valuable resource. Stress is bad. Downtime is a waste of time. Money drives performance. Time isn’t our most valuable resource, energy is. Stress isn’t bad, stress all the time is bad. Downtime isn’t a waste of time, too much downtime is a waste of life. Money doesn’t drive Performance, passion and purpose drive performance. One of the easiest ways to improve your life is to increase your energy. Most people don’t follow their dreams because they are tired all the time. If you want to change your life, get obsessed with this question: How would my life be different if I had more energy? You see, our lives expand or contract according to how much energy we have. Here are 5 easy ways to increase your energy level: 1. Drink eight large glasses of water each day. 2. Sleep at the same time every night. 3. Go for a walk every day. 4. Make one healthier choice at each meal. 5.

He is ever vigilant for those in his care. The lionhearted are encouraging. The heart of a lion is full of emotion. The lionhearted are able to name their emotions and express them appropriately. They are tender with lover and children, but can access rage if a partner or child is threatened. The heart of a lion is a hunter. A lion wakes early to hunt for food to take care of his family, but the lionhearted also hunt down their dreams The heart of a lion is confident and capable, without being aggressive. The mere presence of a lion commands respect. The heart of a lion doesn’t make excuses or quit at the first obstacle. The lionhearted are willing to fight. Not for sport or ego, but out of necessity. They fight for their children, spouse, family, career, community and dreams. The heart of a lion honors the soul of the women in his life. The heart of a lion is wholehearted. There are no half measures. When was the last time you did something wholeheartedly? When is the last time you gave you whole effort to something? What would happen if you gave yourself whole-heartedly to your marriage, family, health, career? Which area of your life is desperately in need of your wholehearted attention? The heart of a lion is not afraid to chase a dream, even late in life. Do you see yourself as a lion or a mouse? Change the image you hold of yourself in your mind, and everything will change. It is time to remake your life with the heart of a lion. It’s time to awaken the lion within you.” If you have not read LIFE IS MESSY, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #BestVersion

For Women Only: You Have the Heart of a Lioness – Matthew Kelly Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe Video Transcript: “You have the heart of the lioness. When you are living in tune with your lioness heart you are beautiful, wise, supportive, fierce, loyal, independent, playful, strong, intuitive, brave, agile, bold, determined, creative and aware. This is the women in you. You may never have met her, but she is in there and she is infinitely lovable. Our culture heaps insecurity and shame on women and weighs you down with expectations and judgement. Dehumanization and objectification are disorienting. But it’s time to throw all that off, reestablish your true north, and embrace your unique possibilities. The incessant objectification and insidious shaming of women may have buried your lioness heart. You may have been separated from your beauty and wisdom, but it’s time to change all that. The heart of a lioness is noble. It’s time to embrace your nobility. Don’t believe what others say about you. Silence the inner critic that has been sabotaging you for years. Celebrating your lioness heart begins with what you know and believe about yourself. Don’t follow the crowd, follow your heart. You have the strong, noble, intuitive, and wise heart of a lioness. Get in touch with your heart like never before. It knows what is best for you. Locate your gift and use it to make this world a better place. Step boldly toward your future. Seek out inspiration. Surround yourself with positivity. Cast far from you any toxic negativity that tries to enter your sacred domain of your life. Require more of yourself and more of everyone else in your life. Honor your soul and resolve that anyone who does not honor your soul is too small for you. When doubt and fear come to visit, as they inevitably will, remember, you are not your past and you are not what has happened you. From this moment on, focus on the incredible women you are becoming. The lioness in you is infinitely lovable.” If you have not read LIFE IS MESSY, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #BestVersion

Baseball’s Greatest Lesson: Failure is a Part of Success – Matthew Kelly Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe Video Transcript: “The greatest lesson baseball teaches us is how to fail. It may sound insane at first, but just as failure is an indispensable part of what made Albert Einstein a genius and Thomas Edison a genius, failure is part of baseball’s genius too. One of life’s greatest lessons is that failure is a part of any great achievement. Baseball teaches us more about failure than any other sport. With a batting average of .350 you are the best in the world. That means the best in the world fail sixty-five percent of the time. While he was the Commissioner of Baseball, Fay Vincent described it perfectly when he said, “Baseball teaches us how to deal with failure. We learn at a very young age that failure is the norm in baseball and, precisely because we have failed, we hold in high regard those who fail less often—those who hit safely in one out of three chances and become star players. I also find it fascinating that baseball, alone in sport, considers errors to be a part of the game, part of its rigorous truth.” Powerful insights. Failure is part of success. Mistakes are part of life.” If you have not read LIFE IS MESSY, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #BestVersion

Why So Few Achieve Excellence The Secret to Excellence – Matthew Kelly Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe Video Transcript: “I have seven brothers: Mark, Simon, Andrew, Brett, Nathan, Bernard, and Hamish. Growing up in Australia, all we did was play sports. What sports? Any sport. Football, cricket, tennis, soccer, swimming, running, basketball, volleyball, golf, table tennis, cycling—you name it, we probably gave it a try. Were we competitive? Yes, we were. Ultracompetitive. My father loved sports and one of his favorite things to do was watch his sons play. I believe it gave him a tremendous sense of pride and filled him with great joy to watch his boys out there competing. I began playing competitive sports when I was five years old. Every time I went to training and every time I went to a game, my dad said the very same thing to me: “Matthew, listen to your coach!” Every time. He never forgot. If he was traveling, he would call me on the phone sometimes before a game to wish me well, and to remind me to listen to my coach. When I was about sixteen years old, he was dropping me off for a soccer game while he went to park the car. As I walked away from the car, he put down the window and said, “Matthew, don’t forget—” I turned around, interrupted him, and said, “I got it, Dad—listen to my coach, listen to my coach!” A few weeks later, Dad and I were talking, and I asked him, “Dad, why do you always say, ‘Listen to your coach’?” He didn’t miss a beat. He looked me straight in the eye and said, “Because nobody achieves excellence at anything without coaching.” “What do you mean?” I asked. “You can get good at something just by working hard at it. If you’ve got some talent and you work hard at it, you can get really, really good at it. But excellence, peak performance, being the best you can be at something—that doesn’t happen without coaching.” My father was a student of excellence. He loved excellence, wherever it could be found. He would point it out to us, in business, in sports, in the arts, in politics, spiritually and academically. He was a student of excellence and he taught us to be students of excellence too. So, I’ve got two questions for you: What do you want to be excellent at? and Who is your coach? Nobody achieves excellence at anything without coaching.” If you have not read LIFE IS MESSY, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #BestVersion

Sometimes you watch a television show and you come away from it drained or angry or frustrated. That’s not life-giving content. We become the content we consume. Do you have a healthy content diet? A healthy content diet is the ultimate weapon against HeadTrash. You cannot sit there and just hope the HeadTrash goes away. And focusing on the HeadTrash will probably only make it more powerful. The secret is to crowd it out. Fill your mind with so many great thoughts, healthy thoughts, positive thoughts, uplifting thoughts, life giving thoughts that the HeadTrash has nowhere to sit down in your mind. Crowd it out. We become the books we read. We become the TV shows and movies we watch. We become the video games we play and the magazines we read. Content isn’t just entertainment. It directs our lives and shapes our character. If you want to change your life, change the content you consume.” If you have not read LIFE IS MESSY, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #60SecondWisdom #BestVersion

Growing up I watched Greg Norman choke over and over again, but never more spectacularly than at the 1996 Masters when he squandered a six stroke lead and managed to lose by 5 shots to Nick Faldo. 20 years later, Jordan Speith suffered a similar fate at Augusta, when he inexplicably quadruple-bogeyed the 12th hole in the final round. It happens in golf, but it also happens in basketball, football, baseball, hockey, and tennis. It happens in every sport, in fact, it happens in every arena of life. AC Milan disintegrated before fans eyes in the 2005 European Cup Final. Leading 3- Nil, Liverpool scored three times in five minutes and won on penalties. The biggest choke in NBA history was by the Golden State Warriors, who entered the 2016 NBA Finals as favorites after winning a mind blowing and record setting 73 games during the regular season. They won the first two games of the finals, lead three/one after four games, and proceeded to implode and loose to the Cavaliers. In the NFL, the Falcons 2017 self-inflicted demise is unmatched. They squandered a 25 point third-quarter lead to lose Superbowl LI to the Patriots. Anything can happen on the golf course, football field, basketball court, and soccer field, because anything can happen in our minds. It’s the challenges from within that are often the most difficult in life. HeadTrash is the fiercest opponent any competitive sports person has ever faced. When the best in the world choke, people don’t wonder, why did he do that or why didn’t she do this instead. They all ask the same question: What was he thinking? What was she thinking? Unconsciously, even a casual spectator, knows that the person got lost in their HeadTrash. It not a question of ability. Everyone knows Greg Norman was capable of winning the 1996 Masters. Something very unhealthy was happening in his mind. The same is true for AC Milan, The Golden State Warriors, the Atlanta Falcons, and Jordan Spieth. It was not a question of ability. In every instance, HeadTrash won. Don’t let your HeadTrash get the better of you. Everyone exeperinces it. Now lets take a look at The Ultimate Weapon Against HeadTrash in Part Six.” If you have not read LIFE IS MESSY, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew’s YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.matthewkelly.com Get Matthew’s 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks. #MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #BestVersion
