Matthew McConaughey argues that life's hardships, the yellow and red lights, are necessary for growth. Without them we stagnate. His book Greenlights frames obstacles as stepping stones toward outcomes we can't yet see.
If life was nothing but green lights and we didn't have yellows and reds, things that make us pause, hardships, crises, times for introspection, then what the hell would it all be for? We need the yellows and the reds. That's how we evolve. That's how hopefully there's some ascension to our being. That's how we give some credit to time and growing older. If we were the same person today that we were 20 years ago, then what— I mean, what the hell are we doing?
If you haven't read that book, it's one of the best books I've ever read in my life. Green Lights, Matthew McConaughey. Conaughey, and the audio version is dope because he reads it. His perspective on these things is so great. I won't even— go check out the book. But you do learn to find value in difficulties, and I, I try to look at them now as like, oh, this is leading to something great that I don't yet see.
