“You are exactly where you need to be.” This quote has helped me a lot.

*“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.” - Albert Einstein*

The "perfect" versions of ourselves aren't going to help anyone. Thank you for being authentic.

What helped me is realising that mistakes are part of life and it is how we learn, it is normal to make mistakes, don't beat yourself over them, just learn and do your best not to repeat. If you are not making mistakes you are not trying anything new or pushing your boundaries

Really like the part about authenticity! And I agree and for me the hardest part is being authentically me on camera. Since the camera seems to reduce your personality output by 30% you essentially somehow need to be 130% of yourself to come across as 100% yourself (even to close family members) At least for me, so doing that without that extra 30% becoming un-authentic is very difficult

The feeling of “always feeling behind”. That one is so so so relatable man

Constantly procrastinate fully giving my all to my channel as I feel I can’t be as authentic as I’d like to be. So I needed this video 👏🏻

This is so important. I do videos about weight loss, mental health and self improvement (not advertising, just sharing my perspective) and I recently realised that i also fell into the trap of only sharing my successes and not my misteps. The road to success is hardly ever a straight line.

So true

I think you're doing a great job and being an honest down to earth guy is a rare thing nowadays. Many fights we have are against the feeling of not being worthy. Even though you continue moving forward with your content. Keep up the good work!

Matt, I love how open and honest you are. Feels like I'm in your living room chatting with you

*We’re all just figuring it out…. One breath, one step, one hug at a time* ✨❤️

Appreciate YOUR authenticity, Matt. The reason why I even bother to watch your videos is because of how simple and humble your content is.

That feeling of being behind is something I’ve struggled with a lot. Appreciate the video 🤙🏼

Your honesty is refreshing. I have largely removed myself from social media over these past few years because I just can't stand to see people trying to project an image that I know isn't all true. Your videos are great and I think I like you even more now than before.

I don't know about the feeling of "being behind" and the constant reminder that you should to take it slow. I'm from the opposite side, I do stuff way too slow and should go at it faster, but you motivated me for the last couple of years to do a little bit more every week/month. And you know, step after step, it starts to add up. Thank for that Mister self help Guru.

Matt, the degree to which we are living similar lives is incredible to me. All your recent videos have been an almost direct reflection of my struggles. Keep it up, it helps to just hear someone going through what I am.

Loved the realness and honesty in this video Matt. Sometimes we forget people who are online who put themselves out there aren’t perfect, they’re the same as you.

Man, the feeling of constantly being behind really hit me. I’ve been struggling with this for quite a while now, and it’s always been something that I’ve kept inside and never shared. I have the exact same fear in that I’m afraid that’s how I’ll always feel, and you have no idea how relieving it is to hear someone else share the same feeling/fear. Makes me truly realize that we all go through similar issues and that we’re all human. Thanks for sharing this video, Matt.

Preach! In the city I live in people are so engulfed in their bubble lives on Insta to show off every meal, party, shopping etc. they have no idea what is actually going on in the world. It’s very sad to see.

love you, Matt! i appreciate the effort you make in showing your truest self, rather than your “best” self. it’s really something we all need and something i am learning to do both for myself and others too, especially in the online space!

Love how you called out how weird this whole internet creator thing is. It is pretty weird. Love ya

Woke up late, had a bit too many drinks last night, and missed my morning ritual but glad to start my day with some AUTHENTIC content from matt.

I’ve been watching your videos for the past two years and I wanna say that the evolution of your videos is insane. We’ve seen different sides of you and have seen you grow over the past few years. Thanks for being vulnerable and for making KZread videos!…even if they’re filmed the day before haha

I had actually unsubscribed from the channel for a while. I felt that the emphasis on being soooooo productive was not aligned with slower living. Owning less, freeing time, are a way to enjoy life. Not to fill it up with only « productive » activities. I came back to the channel a few months ago and really enjoy the topics you bring and the way you present them. Bravo on saying that you’re not perfect 😊

Thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing your truth. You’re doing incredible man 🙌🏼 I’m so similar, I go through periods where I’m not motivated, lack focus, or not driven. Then I judge myself for what I haven’t done or what I’m not doing, instead of all the amazing things that I am consistently doing. It’s all fear of being judged by some imaginary expectation, usually unreasonable, that we set for ourselves. I try to share those ups and downs in my social media content, because I agree, that kind of authenticity brings people together, it puts us all on the same level, living the human experience. ❤️

Thank you so much for openly sharing your journey and the tips you have learned in the way. I’m currently going through a major crisis in my life. I often think about my past relationships and feel as if My life back then was better , I feel like I lack social interactions, I’m struggling to be consistent on my assignment for school and I always double doubt to fully go on filmmaking even if I know deep down I’m pationnate about it but videos like this one gives me hope that I’m not alone experiencing those things and if you are going through the same things but make the best out of it I can do the same just as well

I struggle with always feeling behind too! I can't believe you feel that as well. That really resonated with me and makes me wonder if it really is an internal shift than actually reaching a goal. I see you and everything you've built, including you Master KZread class, and I see you as the model and someone who has it all figured out it and on their path. Thank you for sharing and reminding us that at our core we are deeply human responding to our inner world. Also, loved "it's always going to feel weird." I feel weird too! I wonder do people get used to this feeling?! I appreciate your work. Thanks for all the work and good content you put out!

This was really good advice, There's so many times that I wanted to be original, but wasn't because I was afraid it wasn't "the norm". I just need to stop being afraid of what others think.

Surprisingly, this video is the best one that resonated with me. Though every new video Matt posts is like a wake up call from all the crap I've done in between his uploads.

One of your best Matt! I found when I'm feeling behind ( a lot ) and stepping on it, the effort to slow down and allow myself to go deeper works. Even being broken and expressing my rock bottom gets me motivated and in a better place. The cycle isn't as intense lately.

That audience gasping clip was my favorite thing!

It's very cool of you to talk about being true to yourself and being authentic to who you are. This topic is so important.

Really needed this! I was no social media until I started using instagram just last year, and what I've observed is that you are always trying to put in your unauthentic version of yourself something which you're not, and then you get depressed over seeing other people uploading all of their happy pictures thinking well this guy must be having the time of his life while you're just posting a fake version of yourself, and maybe they think the same about you so it's all mutual, but at the end you just end up feeling terrible and low on self worth, and then the cycle of procrastination and sadness begins, it just degrades your quality of life in general, therefore I believe it's important to be authentic in what you do and just take pride in your own growth and accomplishments rather than procrastination and being sad over how less you are ass compared to others

I love the authenticity that Matt puts out on his channel. I imagine it's therapeutic for everyone.

I think you sharing your flaws and mistakes makes you a nice guru indeed. You don't tell, you show. Thanks Matt!

Love the honesty in this video bc life never happens the way we plan but hard work and openness to grow authentically is a lifelong challenge.

Thank you for being always authentic.

Your openness and honesty encourage and motivate me a lot, and I am happy and relieved to know that a successful and influential person like you suffers at times like us and struggles to reach. Thank you very much.

You are my inspiration for starting my KZread channel. Thank you so much Matt!!!

Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. I needed everything in this video today. That feeling of being behind has been strong the past several days. Thank you for reminding me that we are never alone. That someone else absolutely understands what we are each going through

Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing Matt. We are human and beautiful tapestry of virtues and imperfections.

Its really a love that in his videos there is no ads. ❤️ Really appreciate it man.

I appreciate your authenticity I know that it is one of the scariest things to be. Keep up the great work and remember breathe and be!

Matt, I love, LOVE your videos. You are my favorite youtuber by far. Just because you are so down to earth and sincere. I am a very sensitive person and you showing your sensitivity is extremely comforting. Thank you very much!

Wow as nursing student and trying to be a doctor some day I feel you. You’re like a super star to me. Always productive and all this stuff. You inspire me to be more productive and do more. On the other hand, I beat myself up a lot when I’m not productive, when I procrastinated and do a lot of decisions based on emotions. However, you have helped me a lot. I learned to not compare myself and accept I’m not a robot. So hearing your flaws and opening up to the world really made it relatable to me. Thanks for all the help.

they use Instagram as a public resume to show everybody how great their life is.👌

Feeling behind. I ALWAYS feel that way. Core foundation of my anxiety. Thanks man

When you say you aint perfect its like you cut off the gap we have. I feel we are connected. As if we talk irl. Idk, maybe cuz finally i could see you as entirelly human. You make mistakes i do daily, still having anxiety, procrastinating doing workouts, eating snacks and yes purchasing something stupid. Thank you matt, now i got it what the meaning of "grow and develop"

Hey Matt, longtime viewer here. You are a good guy and the personal stuff like "the feeling of being behind" is exactly what helps me the most. It's so fucking freeing to know that you are doing what you're doing because you need it as much as I do. Loved this vid!

Hey Matt, you are truly amazing. All of your tips regarding procrastination , minimalism, building the routines etc. helped me alot to improve my self in 2021. I started following you since my exam preparation in US, and now I’m in US. Thanks a ton❤️.

You are who I needed to listen to right now. Thank you!

Thank you again Matt. This video resonates so much for me and also helps me feel more connected to who I am…hard working, curious, creative and riddled daily with the feeling of being behind. I had forgotten to share this with more folks and collaborators, that being vulnerable IS part of the process. So grateful for all of the work you and your team do. 🙏💙

To those reading to this… Here are my 10 extra tips to INCREASE your daily manifestations that I’ve learned over the years..👇🏾 1. Practice gratitude every morning. When you wake up, list everything that you are grateful for and feel that gratitude in your core. Feel free to write things down in a journal so it is easy for you to remember. 2. Replace your negative thoughts with positive ones. Every time you feel a negative thought coming on, make a positive spin on it right away. 3. Take ownership for things that happen in your life. It's easy to blame others however you will feel much better when you realize that most issues stem from us. 4. ALWAYS believe that good things are about to happen. By being open to new possibilities you are inviting abundance into your life. 5. Remember that like attracts like so you get back whatever you put out, whether it is good or bad. So do good AND received good. 6. Meditate for five minutes a day. During this time focus on how you want your life to be; but place your focus on how you feel AND feel that feeling as if you have already accomplished those goals. 7. Step outside of your comfort zone. Stop playing it safe and make that decision to finally go for your dreams. 8. Focus on activities that make you feel truly happy. When you are truly happy you have the best vibrational frequency to manifest your desires. 9. Avoid the naysayers and surround yourself with people who only lift you higher. Downers will be downers, don't let them drag you into their misery. 10. Don't be afraid to dream and know that you are always supported by the universe. Hope this helps! - Your Friendly Neighborhood Coach ❤

For me, you do seem authentic Matt, and that's why I keep watching you.

Thank you for the humility and the transparency. I have these same feelings but I have an entire different life path so I appreciate this feeling of community through these shared feelings.

We need more of this honesty online

*I worry about the past, present and future. Each day is a new day but in my mind its a new day to stress out about random crap that doesn't even matter. So I have slowed down, and thought about the project in a positive outlook. Your videos are inspiring and I am glad you are sharing your journey!*

I'm glad Matt isn't perfect, embracing our flaws or overcoming them is what makes us, us.

This is probably the best video I have watched on the platform, this is exactly what I needed to watch at this point. Thanks Matt.

I think so many people like u because u are relatable , it takes a lot of guts to say that you fail , even though u are trying super hard!! 👍

To be honest. Those "vulnerable moments" i apreciate at most and videos like this are the real reason why i subscriped you.

Starting the course todayy!!! soo excited! Thank you Matt

I moved. I fell off my routine. I have struggled creating a new routine. I’ve gone back to old artistic outlets and am being self compassionate. Having a newsletter helps. Thank you for this video!

Wow, most real video I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t believe how much relatability I experience with his feelings & experience!

Hi Matt, I really appreciate these types of videos. When I watch YT videos I usually see this lack of authenticity. The problem is that it's something we are so used to see that we start thinking it is the real world and we forgot that after all we all have our problems. Sharing with us your normal trouble, you are helping us to remind ourselves that there is nothing wrong with our everyday problems!

I really needed this video, plz keep up the good work , I’m always waiting for your video every week 🤍

This was an amazing video, Matt. Thanks for being so open and vulnerable about your struggles. It always helps me because then I know that I am not alone in this.

I love when KZread notifies me this, "someone subscribed to your channel" that ALWAYS makes my day!!

The struggle is what makes you relatable. Honesty always pays up.

"I cannot shake this feeling that I'm behind" - Wow, that really hit me! I think we're always surprised when we hear successful people say they feel like they're behind, but it's also reassuring in a sense. Maybe we should accept that we're never going to feel like we're on top of things, and that's okay. We don't have to wait until we have 3 million subscribers and huge biceps before we decide we're enough.

I love the topics he talks about.

@mattd’avella you actually changed my life matt. living more intentional, being mindful of what i use and don’t use, and what other things i being into my life. the biggest lesson i’ve learned from you was from being persistent with goals, one being that i’ve got about under 6k of debt left out of 17k i had earlier this year of student loans. and making a lifestyle change to join the air force and seriously take the idea of living simply to heart. it’s been a rough ride so far but i really do appreciate your authenticity and the honest messages you share, thank you matt.

Hi, Matt! I discovered your channel a only a few weeks ago & have spent that time with you playing in the background as I proceed with relocation. Brief synopsis... 58, American (half Italian, half Irish), have lived in Berlin, Germany for the last 21 years & am moving back to my mother in Massachusetts in 12 days - phew! Your authenticity is what kept me listening & watching & I will continue to do so. Thank you for all your hard work. Mark

Thank you Matt for your openness and for sharing with us a human experience ,That’s help a lot I truly appreciate it ❤

UGHHHHH I feeeeeeeeel this - the feeling of feeling behind - that is too damn real man. Great video - breath of fresh air.

I want to thank you. You don't know me, and I know you by only the videos you've made. But you have introduced me to minimalism, Waking Up -app and good coffee which all have had great positive influence on my life. Probably most importantly, your "start before you're ready" -video made me realize I have always been preparing and never actually started. I owe you my gratitude. You have most definitely touched me and made my life better, thank you so much.

Yaay, I joined the KZread course just on time. I am so happy to learn from you and put your wisdom into practice. Thank you for everything you do!

I respect your honesty 👏 nice to see a youtuber being real.

Love it Matt! You're the most authentic creator I know!

Hey Matt, Thank you for this video!! Feeling behind in life I can greatly relate to, appreciate you sir. Stay safe.

I like your phrase "crisis of authenticity". It's one of the things I've come up value in my "real friends".

Recently hit 100 subs Matt and you've been a big inspiration in starting my KZread channel, dropping in to give you a big thank you for the advice you've given over the years and I hope my videos add value too!

this is one of the most amazing videos ive seen- thank you for making it!

Thanks for sharing it feels good to hear at this time of my day ! I'm going to focus on me now and not stress me out about things I want to finish but am not in the mood for

Matt, you're awesome. Thank you for sharing this.

I remember the coffee audio recording from a video back in 2018! Was in my senior year high school when I started watching your videos. Brought back some good memories!

And all of these flaws are why I look up to you. Thank you for showing us it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Just to push, incrementally, a little harder everyday.

Good days or bad days, both your content and attitude are always really valuable help or thoughts provokers. Big thumbs up ! 🤘

The feeling of being behind in life resonated with me Matt. Thank you for sharing your 3 pieces of advice and always being honest in your videos. Refreshing storytelling.

*The fact that you are watching this video means you are at least part of the way to creating a better life for yourself. All your regrets are in the past, this is your oppurtunity to make the decision to start creating for yourself the life that you want!* *Incredible video!*

This is a REALLY important video! Thank you, Matt, for sharing your thoughts and feelings in between your “normal” content - it’s a good reminder that we are all human, each with our quirks and flaws. On internet you can sometimes forget that.

Matt, I really enjoy your videos. I've been following your channel since 2017. There's always something that keeps me thinking (in a good way, of course) hours after I saw a new video. Thank you very much for all you've been sharing with us!

This. Is. Amazing. Just you opening up like that, I love this. Let's do this more often
