Greenlights, by Matthew McConaughey

Alright, alright, alright

“A sign you should continue with what you are doing”

You may believe these signs come from the universe, god or by chance. All that matters is you pursue this Greenlight when it emerges.

One part life guide, one part autobiography, you are presented with this journalistic masterpiece from American actor Matthew McConaughey, as becoming near the half century mark on his life - he himself decided to revisit the journal he had been keeping for 36 years to see what could be gathered from it.

Nothing but a sheer life lesson with the adventure he has had it seems.

From living a vivid life as a backpacker in Australia, to an Oscar award winning actor, the globetrotter laminates highs known as Greenlights through his lifelong search for enjoyable time of love and fatherhood.

Going through the stages, the reader is presented with a section, journal entry from 9-1-1992.. as follows 10 Goals In Life.

Written two days after finishing filming his first ever movie “Dazed and Confused”, fourteen days after his father moved on, I won’t spoil it all, but if I could select a couple..

Number 4; Chase my best self.

Something myself Samuel has been trying to achieve for sometime. But as you read again, you’re already chasing. Where is your best self?

You may never know.. as long as you keep chasing, you will keep being better every day.

Another life goal mentioned on the list, number six, take more risks.

It’s easy to get comfortable, but if you avoid the pedestrian level of life, you may find a new venture just around the corner.

Take that risk, chase forward and enjoy the reward.

Which would take me to goal number ten of McConaughey’s;

“Just keep Livin”

As it describes.

As I conclude this short review, I encourage you to pick up the book if you are looking for a journey which could take you down new and unexplored pathways of your own adventure.
