I have always enjoyed Matthew McConaughey in movies and interviews. I have always been able to see that he is authentic and wise. Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey is a autobiography that showcases how he has gotten to be that way. He is honest with himself and with the readers. McConaughey is an inspiration in all his art.
“We all step in shit from time to time. We hit roadblocks, we fuck up, we get fucked, we get sick, we don’t get what we want, we cross thousands of ‘could have done better’s’ and ‘wish that wouldn’t have happened’s in life. Stepping in shit is inevitable, so let’s either see it as good luck, or figure out how to do it less often.” Matthew McConaughey
If I were to be critical of anything about the biography memoir, it is a creative effort to use McConaughey’s handwritten thoughts to make this nonfiction book more interesting. My only problem with it is that the writing is so small that it is very hard to read. I love the poetry throughout the book and the pictures and the layout.
I got this book from my personal collection. You can get your own copy of Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey on Amazon.

Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I needed to read this book. I bought it several months ago but it fell into my hands when I needed some inspiration and inspiration I found. Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey is a nonfiction autobiography memoir that is filled with real life. McConaughey does not sugar coat anything but he also finds the ray of light in all situations and that is how he keeps moving forward and challenges himself towards excellence.
Raised in Texas, he wanted to be a lawyer until he had studied long enough to find his true calling of being an actor. He has been writing all his life. Travel was important to him and helped him cultivate his humanitarian outlook. This biography showcases McConaughey’s true art; life. This book is a must read.

My name is Summer. That is how you can call me. I hope that I am a blessing to you. I am not perfect. I will fall again. But I am forgiven. For anyone reading this that isn’t a Christian, unapologetically, I am a Christian, but I believe there is room for lots of beliefs and religions in the world. It is not my intent to offend people with different beliefs than I have and I would be open to open-minded conversations with no goals of changing anyone’s mind, but sharing information. If you are interested in becoming a Christian…Do you know Jesus? Do want the Holy Spirit to fill you and give you understanding and salvation? Ask Him. Want someone to pray with you? Contact me.
If you would like to know Jesus as your friend, but want to make this amazing commitment by yourself please pray something like this: Thank you Jesus that You are the Son of God, the God that created heaven and earth. Thank you Jesus that You came to earth in the form of a man so that You would be able to empathize with my humanity. Thank You that You did this in order to fulfill the promises You made at the foundation of the world. I realize that I am a sinner and do things that hurt myself and keep myself away from you. Thank You that You died for my sins so that You could defeat death and bring me into Your life. Please forgive me. I ask You to be Lord of my life. I ask you to heal my hurts and show me what my new life, empowered by You looks like. Thank You for Your mercy.
