Expectations vs. Reality

Hey guys, check out this video first before moving on to the second one, as I use it here to illustrate my point.

  • This was a great vlog. I love your movie choice, and your advice? Spot on. When things don’t turn out the way I want them to with a guy, I always blame myself & think, “Well, there goes my last chance!” But that’s not true, I just had a bad experience, I didn’t wreck my life.

    And (spoilers!!!) it didn’t wreck Tom’s life either!

    Thanks, Matthew.

  • you have given me the tool i needed to help my friend! i had no idea how to get through to her and stop her from hurting herself, i was so worried. you have no idea how much you have helped. thankyou!

  • There was 2 things that you said in this blog that really hit home for me “its not what we change externally, its what we change internally” and “change the meanings we’ve given things over time, so it changes our whole outlook and attitude”

    I have never been heartbroken by a guy because ive never been in love (im only 19). However, i’m very scared of the idea of a relationship due to certain events that have happened in the past (family, friends, ect). So the idea of falling in love scares me so much because i don’t want to change who i am. I’ve found that most people change for worse when they fall in love, My life is pretty amazing right now, i have so much going for me, im happy, confident and have so much to look forward to! i dont want a guy to spoil that. i also don’t want to hurt (no one does). So i’ll date but i haven’t had a serious relationship for over 2 years. Everytime i come close, i run. However that line “change the meanings we’ve given things over time, so it changes our whole outlook and attitude”. Has just made me realize that i shouldn’t let other peoples mistakes effect how i live my life. I shouldn’t be scared of falling in love or being hurt because thats life. I cannot live my life to the fullest without experiencing every moment. my fav quote of all time “dream as if you live forever, live as if you’ll die today”

    Thanks matt, Your amazing :D

  • Matthew, how can u come up with this idea? Ur so genius. Our attitudes are upon everything I believe. Ur video just killed me too.

    I appreciate ur existence, I’ll always be supporting u as long as ur still here. Thank you so much :)

    p.s. I feel a lot better by the way.

  • Matt,

    I just want to say thank you for sharing this with us. You have no idea the good this is doing for me right now. Just the exact words are the exact right time.

    God bless you!!!

  • Lol you’re showing off your chest now. Figured flashing your guns wasn’t enough?

    Great insight in this video, btw.

  • Thanks Matt – shift your thinking… shift your heart!

    Constructive and productive advice (nice to know it happens to guys as well! Well, not nice but you know what I mean…)

  • Thanks for making this video. I finally understand more about the pain I have. How I have shutting down everything cos I was so sure that he was my soulmate

  • Matt,
    You made a really good point. It’s helpful for me and i’m passing it onto a girlfriend that I think could really use it.
    Thanks a lot! Keep it up!

    All the best
    Kris

  • Thank you so much for this video … very inspiring … and yes my inner dialogue is mostly made up of believing I lost someone special or I’m not good enough … but I’ve been working on changing that so that each time I get rejected instead of saying “i’m not good enough” … I tell myself “I love myself” … even if I am not feeling it at the time … my motto is “fake it til you can make it” lol lol and I am beginning to take steps to actually feel it and not just saying it … this video resonates with that theme of changing the way I view rejection and how to manage it in a positive manner :) Thanks so much, your advice is always greatly appreciated!

  • wow, you are amazing matt! this has really spoken to my heart. thank you for sharing this with me, with us. God bless you. I am inspired:).

  • I thought showing the clip from 500 says of summer was a wonderful way to demonstrate your point. That is definitely a great point, will be sure to put it into use when I am rejected in the future (bound to happen with anyone!) and when re-thinking rejections of the past. Thanks so much!

  • Wow! Thanks for the great info and video that shows reality vs. expectations. I’m just beginning to date someone that I have known & always thought highly of for over 10 years & am involved in the same semi pro sport as he is. I knew him prior to him becoming a professional athlete (didn’t go to his head whatsoever) but now he’s coaching so see him in that capacity on a regular basis. I think that the length of history I have admired this guy isn’t going to do me any favours nor is the fact that if we begin a relationship and ‘it goes south’ for whatever reason, I will still be in his company. He’s like a gentle giant with a super honest personality with other good characteristics too (far from hard to look at – lol),& is in my eyes, a really great guy. However …. He’s currently facing some huge challenges in his personal life, issues that can easily effect us so time will tell if this man is going to become part of my life but if not, no reason to be heartbroken as now can look at it as you mentioned Matt …. Like most, I have been through some really painful break-ups that have taken months to recover from yet never thought what you shared today. Pain & breakups can be looked at in an optimistic way as we then are given an opportunity to get closer to our soulmates …. Someone we are all hoping to find❣

  • Hey Matt!
    I just wanted to let you know that these video blogs are awesome!! You really do motivate me and inspire me not only in a love life kind of way but to become a better, happier person and I can not wait until next week! You cant imagine how much good you are doing here, so thank you so much, its truly incredible!!!

  • Dear Matthew;

    Though I never even went on a date with him, I loved one boy more than any other and when he started dating my best friend, I did feel that my “soul mate” was lost. I now know that this thought was not true, but you were able to word it perfectly. Thank you for that. I also thank you for this blog as it gives me hope. By the way, do you believe in “true love” or “soul mates”?
