  • Love it, as always. Especially the last one. I don’t consider myself a very kind person but I try to be better and from time to time focus on other people and making them smile (even when I feel like crap myself).
    The best way to forget about your own problems is to help other people with THEIR problems. The sam rule applies here. So wise, Matt! Can’t wait to practise it :) Have a great Sunday and thank you so much for another amazing video. You’re very very good at what you do. You really are (our supportive:)) Iron Man, thanks for that :)

  • This was one of your best videos :)
    If we human beings LOVE to learn our life will always be exciting :)

    I’ll definately remember what you said :)
    Always loooooooooooooove wisdom :)
    &
    I agreeeeeeeee :)
    We are human & don’t know everything :)
    I believe God knows what is the best to learn today & I’m looking forward to learn it :)

    What I know is:
    It’s gonna be an interesting & exciting day :)

    May everybody enjoy the adventure :
    LIFE :)

    1. Can you delete the message above? :)
      That would be very kind of you :)
      My internet connection went off!
      …switches from on to off very often.
      So sometimes I do not know if the message was sent or not.Last time I had to write everything again :)So delete everything that does not fit here :) I understand it all & I am happy when good things happen :)
      Whatever we Do, may the best happen :)

      1. I believe in reason :)There is always a reason :) May we human beings do what is the best here & everywhere on this planet :)

        Thankful for all we can do As human beings :)

          Matthew Hussey & his team are in my heart :)

          I got invited so many times in the past & still it is the case :)

          So I can really practice a lot :)

          What I know is:

          Know that you are in my heart &
          If it is the best & possible I’ll be with you next time :)

          I understand that we human beings cannot be everywhere at the same time :) & If you tell tell the person you love them, they will understand & look forward to next time :)

          Never stop saing I love you to people you truly LOVE :)
          &
          It is always possible to show you love the person who invited you :) & If the person feels it & understands, it’s wonderful :)

  • Matt, you ARE human and inspite of all your work and achievements remain humble. Another of the many reasons I am attending your Women’s Retreat in October.. Sooooo excited.

    Wow. I am on my way to work in an uplifted mood.

  • Important question to matthew !

    Hi Matthew Hussey ,

    at 1st , great video advice from you.
    I now have something to learn from you.
    and I always write it down in my notebook , another look back later.

    Couple a weeks back , i get to know a very nice guy .
    And it clicked perfectly .
    We had a lot of the same interests, and the contact was super good ,attraction was there also .
    it clicked perfectly .

    after couple off day’s , He told me that he was going vacation for his foundation in sri lanka .
    And that he had promised me to send SMS after 3 weeks vacation to me.
    So after those three weeks he was back from vacation .

    And I always understand that you’re full of experiences in such a holiday . And you want to tell 1st . It to your family and friends
    And you have to fly to equip such a long journey of 10 hours.

    I texted him 5 days later after his arrival back in Netherlands .
    And asked with high value casuel joke , how his trip was in sri lanka .
    I waited for his answer . 1 week
    And heard nothing further from him .

    I have after a week me and limit values ​​show him .
    And told that I ‘m really disappointed that I have heard . Anything from him
    And I liked just to get to know him better.

    And if he does not want to keep the contact with , it’s not a problem . Because then I let it go and I’ll just go on with my own life , which i have now .
    so far, I have not heard from him after that texting from me.

    Matthew Hussey, can you give me some advice , in a video about this situation?

    kindly regards from , chandrakanthi .

  • Dear Matt,

    It is so endearing to hear you come from such a genuine place. It is clear that you have really worked to be where you are and have overcome a great deal of adversity in your personal life also (in many areas)! You really are an inspiration and a testament to those who believe ‘I’m not good enough’ because you’ve felt that way also but have chose not to let that feeling define you. I have a great deal of admiration and respect for an individual like you because you feel things deeply (not only the good but also the not so good emotions – but this is your gift, and where you gain so much of your insight). Above all, I love that your heart is good, it is your most valuable trait. Thank you for giving everything you have got.
    Much love, Zoe.

  • Luckily you explain very well :)
    After all, not everybody understands everything.
    But If you explain it’s easy to understand!

    If people don’t understand something I’ve learned:
    Three words can make it positive again:
    I LOVE YOU

    I.e If somebody invites you and for heart-touching reasons God knows you cannot be there, you can always say:
    You are in my heart & see you next time at the best time :) As long as the person feels loved, I believe it’s good :)

    So thank you very much for your lesson today Matt Hussey :)

    What I know is:
    This is a beautiful place to learn & I truly.enjoyed it :)

    Your advices are in my heart and I will practice all I can practice as good and As much As I can As human being :) may we all learn well <3

  • Hey Matthew,

    There is one thing that is bothering me these days. Actually it is a question. Is it possbile to be too outgoing and sociable?

    I am a very friendly, outgoing person. I don’t find it difficult to start a converstation with a strager, be it a man or a woman.

    Unfortunately my boyfriend ( just by the way, thanks Matthew, your book really helped me a lot in mantaining and perfecting our relation) says I’m too sociable and I should be more reserved. We argue a lot about this. He doesn’t like me talking to other people ( especially men), even if it’s my work and I need to be polite with people, act friendly.

    I’ve always been like that and I’ve never seen it as something inapropriate. But maybe there’s a grain of truth in what my boyfriend says?

    Anyway, I’d really like to know your opinion and answer for this question: Is it possible to be too sociable and outgoing, and where is the line that you can’t cross in interactions with people while you’re in a relationship with someone?

    I’d be soooo glad if you could respond to my questions – these are very important for me.

    Have a great Sunday,

    Bernadetta

  • Hi Matthew,

    Wow I actually pushed myself into going to a Thursday evening cocktail gathering a the Ritz Carlton patio bar in Toronto. It was a last minute invite by my girlfriend whom i consider a “Hub”. I wasn’t going to go because i would still be in my outfit that i’d been wearing at work all day.
    Then I thought of the networking opportunity that i could have. The fact that i would be introduced to new people and what if a great guy was in that mix?
    Sure enough, the party was in a very high end hotel bar and it was full of celeb wannabes, wealthy types, but also a lot of working types like me my gf and another 2 friends that joined us later. So I took a deep breath and stood with drink in hand with ease and positivity (natural smile, eye contact..)
    I gotta say that I had a pretty cool time. I met and chatted with at least 6 new people that were all friendly, and very different. No guy of my dreams lol, but I met a manager from the same company that i work for and I have gained a career connection also.
    So Matt, the point i am trying to make, is that while i am sure i was listing excuses as to why i should not go downtown to that high end cocktail party. I think your bits of advice through the years, combined with my inner voice telling me to “just go to it! you never know!”
    Because no one knew that I was in the same clothes all day and from the conversations we had, they had done the same.
    Thanks xx
    Katherine

  • Hi Matthew, thanks for sharing your advice it always makes perfect sense-
    Slightly off topic, but can I ask advice on how to stay open-minded to meeting new men, when you’ve never had a good experience long-term with a man? Sometimes it’s hard not to feel betrayed and a bit resentful, like you’re just waiting for the next one to leave you too.

    Thank you, sorry if the topic seems a bit blue.
    All the best!

  • Hi Matt,

    This was an incredibly timely video for me. The way you explained it is incredibly easy to understand (doing is the next step). The content for this was phenomenal. I love how you dig deep to find out what the actual truths are (rather than just taking whats out there), and also how you then make it into something so true, and so insightful. I agree 100% with what you said and I will be doing my best to incorporate these tips into my life. THANK YOU. A BIG FAN – NR

  • Hey Matt, I cannot wait to listen to you on 14th in London, your advices are something that are helping me change my mindset in this time of ny life when I most needed it.
    As I’m social anxious, I think I won’t dare make any questions but I will try to get familiar, start small and be generous. Thank you!

    Take care (at least until your live event ;)),
    Ana.

  • You seem tired Matt!!! :) look gorgeous..like always but tired! :) thanks for sundayvideos ! :) ***

  • Cool to find out you can feel anxiety even today, Matthew. Please do a video on how to socialize when you don’t have money.

  • Thank you, as always, for sharing.
    I love your piece on ‘labeling’ because whether it is self labeli g or the labeling of others, either way it is damaging. I work in the preschool environment working with instructors in many different aspects but the most common one they struggle with is ‘challenging behaviours’ (or what I like to joke with them to lighten their mood and frame of mind “oh! You don’t like it when people don’t do what you say?”. These children, as us, are often, just looking to feel understood and even more often trying to figure out adults ‘versions’ of what it means to ‘be good’ and what it is to ‘be bad’. I work with them on #1 building strong, caring attachments with the children #2 meeting them in a developmentally appropriate place and then #3 supporting the child throught their challenge by helping them label their feelings and blocks and being clear and concise about the BEHAVIor that is not safe so neither the child (nor the instructor) gets caught in the labeling trap.
    So many other layers of course but thank you for reminding us it continues on if we don’t look to improve ourselves and our vision of others even as adults.
    You’re awesome,
