Matthew McConaughey

Contracts I have made with myself, many of which I live up to, most of which I still pursue.

I believe the truth is only offensive when we’re lying.

Create your weather so you can blow in the wind.

Map your direction so you can swerve in the lanes.
Clean up so you can get dirty.
Choreograph, then dance.
Learn to read and write before you start making up words.
Check if the pool has water in it before you dive in.

Create structure so you can have freedom.

Learn to sail before you fly.

Creativity needs borders.
Individuality needs resistance.
The earth needs gravity.
Without them there is no form.
No art.
Only chaos.

The Goddess of luck is fortune,
fortune is the Sister of fate,
fate is the Divine Order,
and the Divine Order is God.
So, as far as I can tell,

The first step that leads to our identity in life is usually not I know who I am, but rather I know who I’m not. Process of elimination.

We need finites, borders, gravity, demarcations, shape, and resistance, to have order.
This order creates responsibility.
The responsibility creates judgment.
The judgment creates choice.
In the choice lies the freedom.
To create the weather that gives us the most favorable wind
we must first remove that which causes the most friction to our core being.
This process of elimination creates order by default, therefore rendering more to go toward, for instance, and less to back away from.
