Minette asked Matthew McConaughey:

Hi Matthew, I just loved your book...what a treat it was to read and an extra treat indeed to listen to you reading the audible version 😊. My question is, in the book you talk about stops and stays on your life journey. With the stops, did you know these were stops rather than stays at the time you were living them or just at the time when you were choosing to move on? Thanks so much!

Matthew McConaughey Both. Many, upon entering them, I knew it was just an experiment, a rental, a stop not a stay in my life. I’d say most of them I entered with the open wonder, and even hope that they maybe would-could be stays. I have always gone into any relationship (with people, career, etc.) with an eye, head, and heart to SEE the best in it, and in seeing the best in it, be open to growing WITH that person or position. Sometimes I know its just a stop going into the situation, sometimes I realize it well down the road, and sometimes I’m still here, staying.

Olivia asked Matthew McConaughey:

Hi Matthew, your book is very extraordinary and I continue to use it to inspire me. Not only does it contain deep meaningful moments but also many lifelong lessons of pain and love. In your book, you talk about greenlights almost in a surreal yet achieving way. During these moments were you ever anxious about greenlights suddenly turning red or do you find ways to prepare yourself for those moments?

Nikki Junker asked Matthew McConaughey:

You have been able to look at some of your childhood experiences as happening for you not to you. Also, you are able to see them through a lense of love. How were you able to avoid the victim mentality like many with similar experiences?

Book Nerd

Book Nerd asked Matthew McConaughey:

First, My twin sister and I are huge fans of yours! You are such a positive person in a world full of negativity. Your book made me think to look past the negative and focus on the positives/Greenlights in my life. My question for you is: Out of everything that you have experienced in life, what was the most profound moment? What was that greenlight that changed everything for you?
