I couldn’t resist sharing this woman’s incredibly powerful story with you today.
She faced one of the most difficult, biggest setbacks I could ever imagine in her love life, and came to me for advice on how to get a guy to like her as more than a friend.
Maybe you struggle with your own insecurities (like I do).
This video is going to give you the #1 practical mindset shift to shatter those pesky doubts within minutes…

Stubbed across your page and am very much curious.
Love the way you look at life and how you operate.
This video raises a concern for me when you suggest bringing my world into perspective so I appreciate what my life has given me.
I struggle a lot with comparing my life to those who are on similar paths. I’m working hard to get into a career that I have been turned away from for a number of years. I meet people, lots of women, who are already accepted into training or working in the field. All I seem to do is size them up and compare. Wonder how this person got in and I’m still fighting to get a piece of the pie. I’m quick to compare their life, who they are as a person to me.
For me, to put someone else’s life into perspective of mine is very much like comparing. My question is, what’s the difference, what am I missing? And also, if there a way to train my thinking from comparing all the time?
Good questions! I assume that perspective has to do with appreciating what you have, without regard to anyone else. What in your life do you appreciate? Did you finish an education that should allow you to enter your career field? Comparing says, yes, I have the same education as people who easily enter the field. Perspective says, there are people who can/do/will not even finish the education.
And I just ruined my makeup….what a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing this <3
Hi Matthew,
I don’t even remember how I got to watch your videos, it must have been one of those strolling around on the web looking for something to learn or explore.
Anyway, this Sunday’s video made me cry.
I’ve been for a very short time of my life in a wheelchair. Almost lost it at that point. Without the genuine love of a few priceless people in my life I probably would have lost it.
The woman you mentioned in your video is a STRONG BRAVE lady, and yes this should make us realise how lucky we are. I love my life, I love life, I love all people who love their life, who love life.
Is there a way of changing someone who doesn’t? I come across people, even old friends who don’t see that, and sometimes I feel like slapping them, just to wake them up, I obviously can’t do this, it’s just terribly frustrating.
I was wondering if there is anything than I can possibly do to change their prospective without being patronising, mostly to let them see and believe that they are lucky.
Perhaps you have come across yourself those situations, perhaps I can find in your experience something that I can make mine.
Thanks a lot for your time.

Hi Matt, I totally agree with Sarah it would be great if you could please make a video about how to broach the subject of disability whether it’s mental or physical or emotional with someone you’re interested in and how to get them to see The person you are instead of your wheelchair/walker or disability or what they would have to do to be with you instead of thinking of it as a burden how do you get them to realize that you can take care of yourself and that you are independent even though you might ask for help at times. Thank you much love and happiness :) xx Rawan
WOW!!!!! I will never look at Life the same way again. And I’ll never look at your work the same way again. Although I believed it was good work, even very good work, now I think of you as a Gift from God. You are able to touch the lives of so many people in such a, (positive doesn’t even begin to describe it) EPIC way. Thank you for being YOU, Matthew Hussey.
Wow, pretty powerful and right on the mark. All the more reason to make the best out of life. I would love to know what suggestions you gave her. I am sure they would be helpful to everyone.
Matthew, I cannot thank you enough for this video. I am a person with visual disability and it has been my one and only insecurity which has gotten me depressed since my diagnosis. Thus video has helped me to get through the day and just be happy with being me. I will use this video everyday to help me cope until it is ingrained in my brain :(
Thank you very much! Love your videos! Keep up the great work!
Sharon
Hey Sharon I also have a visual disability and I 100% agree with you it is hard to always feel positive about yourself especially when dealing with a constant struggle like that. I do not mean to pry but am really curious about your story and would like to maybe email back and forth a bit.
A beautiful and powerful reminder!!!! I SO love your depth!
Matthew,
What a great way to give us all perspective today. It’s all relative right? The truth is, if someone doesn’t like us for who we are right now- and that includes looks, they probably are not the right ones for us, and if they do just like us for something as fleeting as our appearance, than it’s very likely they won’t accept what truly makes us individuals; the good, the bad, and the ugly. Thanks for really showing what an awesome heart you have today, and for sharing what you learned with all of us. Great lesson.
They’re looking at me and just seeing the amount of responsibility they have…
First, I’m thinking that I’ve been too much responsibility (emotionally), and that’s why everyone walked away from me during the past year.
Second, I’m thinking that we ought to see the responsibility to each other. Not always meeting physical needs due to disabilities, but to remember not to neglect each other. A relationship is a responsibility to another person.
Disability can do that to a person
And how people treat you!!!
Loved your video and would love to listen and learn more
Wow! Powerful! Thanks for that…Hugs! It is always about perspective…My brother said to me…when I was going through my divorce 9 years ago… “Julie…be thankful for what you have…there is always someone out there…worse off than you…You have your health, a job…a roof over your head…What else do you want??”…He was right…you have to be thankful & have gratitude for what you do have…The glass is half full…instead of half empty…;) <3 I look forward to your videos every Sunday Matthew…Keep them coming!
u r gorgeous
Thank you, Matthew Hussey, for this beautiful message.
What a touching story!
Your hairline actually looks attractive! The same way that heartthrob from Beverly Hills 9021 had (forgot his name- he played boyfriend of character Kelly) ;-
Your nose great as well – I would never guess it could be an issue for you!
Thanks for being vulnerable. I actually had to read few times when you said ” my insecurities” in email just to make sure you really say that :)
Thank you for being compassionate. Thank you for opening up and sharing your vulnerability. I have a deeper level of respect and love for you Mathew.
I have a friend whom was seeing the world like this and living the same scenario in her early 20s, she has met a wonderful man who sees above and beyond her disability and loves her so much! The care he provides to her is never a burden or a chore, its a extension of the love and devotion he has for her. He never complains, its never too hard and its wonderful.
Ahh. It would be so much fun and so gratifying to come to one of your retreats, Matt, and to meet you and your people! xoxo
Thank you, Matt. This is a powerful message. It made me realize how stupid my insecurities are. Not that I’ve never knew about it, but I tend to forget. Thanks!
Wow. That’s all I can say. This brought tears to my eyes. I have been in the midst of some struggles — nothing like this and not related to relationship specifically, but the notion of perspective is so important. Thank you.
