At the same time, don't be afraid to quit. If a dream doesn't work out, there's always another dream waiting to be discovered
100% agree
sometimes you don't have to quit on your dream at all but just take a different approach on how to reach it 👍🏽
Truth. Your time is valuable and sometimes it doesn't take long to realize you don't want what you thought you wanted, or that the reality of the path to your "dream" is not fulfilling you. As long as you keep trying and are willing to apply yourself when you find the next thing :)
Yes! I think you should give it a fair shot, experiment a bunch along the way, and quit when you're sure that you don't enjoy it anymore. You've gotta know the difference between a bad day and a dream that's reach the end of its road.
@I WANT ŞĘX !!! SEE MY VÌDEÓ wot
There’s nothing more satisfying than getting one step closer to achieving your dream
Beautiful ❤
👌🤟
How you know it is not jus another wish and how do you know it is worth use your limmited time on this earth on some dream? You guys have dreams?
@@321tms2 you know when you just can't ignore it..
I don’t know, a cup of coffee is pretty satisfying ☕️
This was so good! Great conversation.
You are so awesome!
U're amazing
Haha my favorite youtubers watch each other, love this
✨🤩
My favorite Creator😻
The recent shift in Matt's narrative/cinematic style feels so much more genuine now! I dig it and am inspired by it.
Thanks, Riley :)
Living in Australia probably had an impact on his American mindset. Aussies are the most down to earth people
I really like this aspect of minimalism - being content with where you're at. Materialism can easily overshadow your dreams, making you think you need to go big or go home. While there's value in having a larger impact, you can be content with your impact at any level. Think about that small band you like or that stellar local restaurant - both aren't huge, but you get a ton of value from them.

Well said!

THIS is the under-told story! 👏🙌. Most features you see like this are so reflective (back before I “made it”) and this one is so honest and present.
Oh my gosh, hi Kathryn!!!! Two of my favourite RUclipsrs in the same place! Wow!!
Indeed! Nice work Matt. I'd love to be "making it" with my YT channel (teaching people to code), but the truth is, it takes a long time, and it's hard work. I'm so glad to see content like this and other big YTers showing that it takes time/grit, and it's okay to work (a job) too.
Yes love both these youtubers!
You hit the nail on the head! Great comment. - Josh & Kalie
Agree 100%!!
Beeple made an artwork every day for 14 years and just sold an NFT for $69 million. Some people are calling it an "overnight success", but in reality, it was years of hustling.
that's sick! i've been following him on IG for a long time now and i didn't know that. good for him, he deserves it!
So true you see this in the music industry where someone has been gigging for years as an unknown and they release a single that just go’s off and it seems like they came out of nowhere.
« I thought all you had to do was get a record deal and yo things start moving
But that's not the case because most of the times the artists you hear
You keep on thinking that artist is new but that artist has probably been at it for years »
- NF
did not know about the 14 years part, that's mad!
Falling in the love with the process, especially as a creative can be such a better narrative than hero-ing success. Start, try, fail, learn, (insert timeframe) and that's all there really is :) Great video

I can actually relate to this. If you told me 5 years ago that I was gonna be a software engineer, I'd probably laugh my ass off. I didn't have a degree in computer science but I've always wanted to get a job related to computers. 3 years ago I started studying by myself, it was tough since everything was so foreign to me. But fast forward to now, I am now working as an engineer in one of the biggest tech companies in our country. Am I the best guy in the company? Hell no, but what's important for me is that I finally made it where I've always wanted to be, and that for me is already a huge win.
Congrats, aiming to do similarly 🥳
@@fireystella thanks! It's definitely achievable, through hard work and dedication. The journey is definitely rough and expect a lot of failures and rejections but it's well worth it in the end. Good luck! 😁
@Nar at Google
The app Mimo is very helpful. It’s like the less psychotic version of Duolingo...
I have a similar story, I sucked at programming when I was in high school now I am a software developer and actually doing a damn good job I think! I think it is the only job that allows me to live how I want to, work remotely from different places in the world, grow everyday and be paid really well for that.
"What do you gain from quitting? Nothing."
I'll embrace that quote.
Well, actually, you gain free time and energy for something that might work better for you. Sometimes something that you were really passionate about just becomes a chore that you don't enjoy anymore and brings no value to your life and at that point there is a lot to gain from quitting.
@@rauha38 I totally agree.
I'm referring to the sentence through hurdles you encounter throughout your journey when things get rough.
When it's not fun anymore, you could look for the next challenge. 👍
Also not quitting might be expensive in terms of opportunity costs. I think you should know when quitting is ok and not stubbornly trying to sugarcoating your miserable doing + perspective
I like that they say it how it is. 90% of us wont be the best. To do something to gain insight, learning and to do something you enjoy is fine.
Well said Jasmine! :)
Honestly i think that was HORRIBLE advise,if we go in thinking we are that 90% that will not make it wouldn't that just turn out that most just fail..so why try?
Anything i do i go in as the top 1% mind set that its all or nothing as O-town said.
I like Elon's idea on this he said at an OIL meet up long ago
"If you are going to create a business or idea, make sure at min. it is 100% better than the current best idea or product, and no matter if your bed is a floor or a mattress keep the mind set your GOING to make it and don't slow down"
I have read a few books on the mind set as well, Neuro programming type of books that have proven if you go into something already mentally feeling you have been successful and made it, you have ideally already laid the foundation of success and now its no longer "IF" but its "WHEN".
Ether way, anyone going in thinking they are 90% not going to make, save your money and time your going to fail because you started off not even believing in yourself. If you can't believe in you, who can?
@@RockDavid i think it also comes down to the definition of "make it". Success should be defined by yourself. What makes one person happy, wont be the same for another and also how they see, feel and be successful will also differ. I agree with you David and your points make sense. I think the 90% comes with some context with it. As to your point "why try" - well a lot of people do and are successful and will make it - where many do not! And this can be due to not willing to go the lengths of grind & persistence to keep on keeping on, (pivoting, adapting, sticking to the process, understanding you why or even understanding your end game) and others don't make it on the basis of what someone else has defined as successful.
@@RockDavid I don't think that's the advice they are giving. I think what they are meaning is that if you commit to something and chase a dream. You need to be okay with things not working out, but they don't say that you should strive to be "average" they are saying if you commit to something and put in obsessive work things still might not work out how you want and that's okay. The people he showed as an example were two people who dedicated 3 years to their podcast with daily hardworking and chasing to make it to the top of the business and things just simply didn't work out. They never planned to just be average. Hope this helped.
"If we were going to be doing this for money, we wouldn't be doing it today"
Brilliant mindset 👍
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂”Hopefully he’s paying for lunch” “Na he’s a tight-arse, he’s a minimalist” gold, lads!
So been a musician for 20 years now. This channel pays the bills. I do music on the side. The truth is it's not just the long term. Sometimes you just are an average joe. Like I can admit I am an average musicians so despite 20 years I'm not as big and popular as the biggest death metal band there is. So got to realize that talent is also a large component of the equation.
I love your keto recipes! And your music!
I love undying inc
That broccoli cheese soup has become my comfort food in the pandemic. Thanks brother❤️
Luck comes into play as well yeah
Wow
This was great! Matt is the absolute MASTER of making docs about 2 dudes chasing their dreams!
Whoah! Unexpected crossover! Hi, Andong!
Hi andong🙌
Save the Uygur people. Byctt China! who is kllng them. Byctt France who banned religious freedom.
Every generation x/z person should see this video. This expectations of egocentric greateness in our mind created by I dont know who or what has to stop
We overwhelm ourselves with to big expectations that we place on ourselves
Mainly the addition of social media and marketing having such a powerful grasp over our perception of life. I deleted all social media with the exception of Instagram whose app I check once a week, Linked in for professional stuff and youtube for just relaxing and content that I love and my mental has gone up incredibly. My projects are now growing tenfold and my satisfaction/happiness have made me happier aswell. Now that I am not comparing myself to marketed images of success I feel so relieved and happy, social media is a powerful tool but a powerful drug aswell.
@@moderndilettante6896 I uninstall instagram and im happier. But then i miss a lot of content friends share to me, and download it again. Its a love hate situation
To everyone out there; whether you’re running towards your dreams or simply just mentally resetting, I hope you are well and just know that everything will work out the way it’s supposed to; it’s a part of this beautiful journey✨❤️
Big difference between Americans and Australians. You'll never hear an American say "It's okay to not be the best in the world."
Aussies are much more chill. There are pros/cons to each mentality. Americans are more ambitious on average, but that can cause feelings of constant insufficiency.
It’s all about the work/life balance!
is that anecdotal? or is there research that backs that impression up?
We do have an self-alleged cultural theme we label “tall poppy syndrome”. In the context of success, Uber success or plain good fortune, it just means the idea that if you get big enough here, then somehow you “deserve” to be “cut to size” - that’s the negative version. The positive is that self-aggrandisement is quite often looked down upon i.e. “I’m going to be the best the world!!!” (mind you, we DO love it when Australians win world champions/Oscar). Like it’s okay to think it, and work toward it, but NEVER to say it out loud. Maybe that’s what the comment at the top of this thread is getting to. But people are people. A lot of the supposed differences like above are not contradicting cultural behaviours. IMO, they mostly flow from different linguistic styles ie. The Australian accent “sounds chilled”, like the German accent “sounds harsh” (even when telling a joke). I don’t think there is any REAL difference relating US to Oz, impacting local individuals attitudes about working hard, obsession, perfectionism, education, talent and/or luck and the weird combinations of that which creates the MJs verses all the suburban basketball teams, described in this pretty funny analogy...
Wow. This is actually more inspiring then if they were to actually “blow up”.
Moral of the story. We all can’t be like Matt Davella, but we shouldn’t stop trying to do our own thing.
"We are now defining what success should be, based on outliers"
Damn!!
That hit us too, bro. Wow 🤩 - Josh & Kalie
This just assured me that I'm sane, I'm not crazy when l feel like leaving a hefty paycheck behind and moving towards doing something that I actually enjoy! Thanks!!
All the best man! Hope you do well..whatever you wish to..
Good luck with that !
Go get it man
Ashu... Agar acchi khaasi backup hai toh theek hai....warna kharche kam karna par choddna nahin 🤣🤣
All the best bhai.
I'm kind of doing the same thing right now.
Define your own success and don't look around to see other definitions.
Yes!
Shoutout to the out of focus Vegemite behind Matt's head (great vid btw, love the chemistry between you all!)
We spent a solid 30 minutes placing that Vegemite in the perfect spot 🤣
@@mattdavella this is why we love you matt
oh wow struthless nice seeing you here, i love your videos!! hope to see you collabing with matt or josh and tommy soon, seeing that you're all in australia now
omg struthless!!!! i love your videos omg
Get struthless on your vids Matt woohoo!
''you can start small, you can start simple, idc how perfect you think it might be, i just care that you start pushing things out in the world that you care about"'
needed to hear this today . Thankyou Matt
'Redefining success based upon the outliers'... SO GOOD 👏

I love how transparent this is and even after 3 years they are not where they had hoped to be, they are still happy and positive!!! Life lesson !!!!
This one warmed my heart. Found myself laughing with you guys throughout the whole video. Chasing our dreams really doesn't have one formula. It's beautiful to see people who just choose to show up every day, and make that the way they dream.
It’s almost been a year since I started my hobby and this motivates me to continue and strive. Thank you. Keep grinding y’all!
3 Years Rule : We are gonna be dedicated to the process for 3 Years and see how much money and success we will have and then will decide to continue or not based on that
* 3 Years later : Fuck Money and Success, We fell in love with the process and will continue to do what we do whatever happens.
Well food costs money and not your experience, so does your rent amd your staff dont work for you so you can feel happy they gotta feed themselves and their family
This was hilarious and inspirational! Started making RUclips videos and hitting my 3 year mark soon. I haven’t grown at the rate I’ve wanted, but have enjoyed the process and have no regrets!
The good-hearted laughter was wonderful !! Thank you :) still smiling from the good vibes reverberating.
This is a beautiful video Matt!!! ❤️
Laugh like crazy, not what i expected when watching a “motivational” video. Its kinda satire , but raw and real. The broll chat is so great 😂
Is matt davella get hacked or something? 🤔
I just started my “3 year goal” last week with 11 followers and I don’t even look at my views right now. I know it will be low but I’m doing what I love. So I get how happy they are even though their expectations when they started it wasn’t the reality
🖐🖐
Absolutely loved this- there's nothing wrong with having to make ends meet while pursuing our passions; if anything it's just testament to our resilience and commitment to doing the work we really want to do.
These guys are so honest, but still so humble. It’s proof that the joy isn’t in the achievement but the learning and the journey
Loved this, a realist not instagramable version of happines and success.
Matt this was so so well put together, smiling the whole way through
This is probably one of my favorite videos from you. Very genuine.
This is my favourite video of yours, Matt (and I have seen almost all of them, watching your bicep grow). Super important message that everyone needs to hear.
Loved this episode! Such a great reminder to “just show up”... do the dang thing... and keep going for the sheer joy of it. Too often (and I’m guilty of this myself) we fall into the trap of wanting to monetise our hobbies or passions, but - is that really necessary or the end goal? The process of showing up and learning as you go already opens up more possibilities and opportunities you would never have thought of if you hadn’t just started. So... enjoy the process! 🙌
Most people think that success is solely measured in accumulation of wealth. I find this incredibly sad.
@Matt D'Avella No dice. Granted investing in Bitcoin like 5,6,7 years ago was a hell of a gamble and it sure paid off but now pointless.
The very natural and human comments made in this video made my day! Matt, thanks for showing us the *real people* behind the content! It is so refreshing!
“I just care that you’re pushing things out into the world that you care about” Thank you for this video and for the loving reminder!
This video is basically Matt stalking friends who are fine with not being competitive. :) And laughing. Lots and lots of laughing.
Just wanna say it means so much that you hearted my comment... You're the only RUclipsr I care that hearts it because I know that you schedule your time so well that you mostly wouldn't do this. It's not an attitude of outside gratification, just a thank you from one of your fans! 🙂
This felt like watching a short documentary. Pure talent Matt!
This is probably one of the most, Uplifting stories that I’ve seen on mats channel and I love this philosophy! Everyone’s always trying to climb to the top yet they can’t realize that not everybody will be able to do that but you can still do what you love and people backing you and supporting you from behind!
This is a great video Matt! Thank you. My Dad (who’s in his 70’s now) always says that being contented is the most important thing. Some guy will always come along with the bigger boat and the faster car. But if you’re happy with what you have that stuff doesn’t matter. I love all of your content but this video really resonated with me. Thanks for reminding us of focusing on what we love being more important.
One of the biggest lightbulbs I got from “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” was this obsession our society has with Exceptionalism. If you do something it has to turn out to be the BIGGEST, the BEST, super SUCCESSFUL, and all those things. When in reality, it’s more than great to be the “best basketball team in the suburbs.” That’s freakin life man, if you’re happy with what you do then who cares what others expect/want from you.
This is actually the video I needed right now. For about 1,5 years now I am into filmmaking and photography. My dream is to make a living off of it. As you pointed out it is always difficult to look at the long term goals. I was struggeling a lot lately and had a lot of selfdoubt.
For example I uploaded a few videos on youtube and I think they turned out pretty good. But then I see the numbers and get frustrated even though I try to ignore them as hard as I can.
But you are right. Even if my dream doesnt come true I still had fun along the way. But Ill keep trying my best =)
Cheers!
Keep going and trust the process I’m in the same boat but it’s the journey that matters
I love the idea of giving things a lengthy span of time. I just started something and I have no expectations. This video helped me put some things into perspective.
Awesome video as always man!! I followed this mantra everyday since I started changing my life after going to Thailand in 2018. I now have a small video business and was able to quit my job at walmart. I make about the same amount I did as I worked there. But the work is so rewarding and I get to meet amazing people all the time and feel like I am in control of my life. It took me about 2 and a half years to get to where I'm at. And I wont stop. I always try to inspire others to go for what they believe in, because you can fail at what you dont love, so you might as well fail at what you love. Life is so much bigger than we think it is. And once you find out that you have the power to be anyone you want to be, you open up a whole new life for yourself.
A wise man once said “compare yourself to who you were yesterday not who someone else is today”
Whenever your thinking about giving up: remember why you started in the first place 💯
man this video is giving me goosebumps...as a small creator sometimes we might feel losing sense of direction don't know where we are heading to, what is the end game..glad you guys are here giving out positive energy, I mean it.
Matt your commitment to describing life how it actually is, is so appreciated. Kudos to you brotha 🤝
That mindset is so powerful, holy christ!
Loved this. Super good.
Save the Uygur people. Byctt China! who is kllng them. Byctt France who banned religious freedom.
It is just so rare to find a video about this topic with such sincerity. Great job Matt, Josh and Tommy!
Awesome to see you exposing these guys, the daily show is such a great podcast!
Why can't passions just be hobbies or leisure activities? I feel we put too much value on economical value before starting any endeavor
True
True
After 20 years of office work, I see great merit in having a hobby or leisure activity going in one's free time. I don't love what I do, but it pays the bills and my hobbies bring in the happiness.
I gonna quit my job. And this video helped me to realize that I do right choice. Thanks Matt
Oh my goodness, thank you for including all the bloopers and funny moments. Those are the best!
I think this is the story to tell on social media. The struggles and doubts we all have while chasing our dreams. Thank you
i love how they're roasting matt in the broll ✌️😂
🤣🤣🤣
This has to be Matt's funniest video yet! Thanks for the truth and some laughter!
True❤
💯💯
Thank you for this video Matt, it's really what I needed today. i had a big fight just about what I need to do in my life and what is being forced by my parents (mom mostly). it's been a depressing day and this helped a lot. I've been following you for about 2 years and never commented, but this really hit home. All the best from Croatia. See you in three years (hopefully). Much love :)
I truly needed this, Matt. Thank you for sharing that we aren't failing because we're not at the top!
I learned to Give Up on my dream, I spent countless hours and trainings, self improvement, hard work and perseverance to keep with the challenges unfortunately no matter how hard I try, I can never be a Hamster. 😓
But your children could be hamsters 🐹
I cracked up when you started asking about how much they actually made.
Matt! What are the odds?! I have this assignment where we have to talk about how "Goals get us where we want to be" and this video is perfect! I feel so inspired to write about the things you mentioned because what you said in the video is true! Thanks, man!
Love seeing the joy of life in your videos. All of you are just awesome!
I use to be a perfectionist. And obsessed with final result more than the process. But now I just want to pay my bills do the work I love and have a happy family.and I don’t think it’s sad to not be at the top of tops at all. Good wideo Matt.
I was getting bored and you uploaded it at the perfect time 😃😃
Can we just take a moment for how amazing this video is made? It really looks like Matt poured so much attention and dedication into this video, I really admire that
I watched your previous video a few weeks ago, and seeing the after-three-year version is so enlightening!
Consistency is key! You live life day by day, and in each one of those days hold a bundle of choices. Those choices COMPOUND overtime, always keep your mind fixed on long-term (higher consciousness, over short-term(survival instincts)
Matt always has the best videos
Success takes time. The bigger the goal the harder the work discipline and perseverance.
What a refreshing video! You all seem to be so happy to just be around each other having fun. Love it
“Swap 3 for 4, 5, 7 years.”
This was a great talk! We tend to follow rules defined by others. But what works for one may not for another.
Very true, I had to realize that
Even if you do anything right you can still fail
Lol.. when young people figure out they are ordinary... dont worry guys this realization comes to all of us in the end.
Most of the people want to have a job that pays enough and isn't making every day full of suffering. "Chasing your dreams" is unreal for 99% of the people. I find this kind of channels quite disconnected from the real life.
For most people it's not the matter of "Living the life you always wanted, achiving your dreams and being fullfilled" but rather "desperately trying to make your life not extrimely miserable"
I really appreciate the bloopers in this video. Makes it feel more real and like I was there in person enjoying the company of all three with genuine fails and laughs. Great work Matt!
This has just helped me remember why we do things that we love. I’ve been sitting on an idea for the year where I write and release a song every month. After I saw this video I finally posted the first song after holding back. Thank you.
An interesting documentary with the three of you would be fantastic.
Sometimes I takes 10 years to become and overnight success
It's not impossible to achieve your goals, but it won't be easy.
ahh thank you I been needing this video. I have been struggling to keeping myself together these days. we love you Matt.
Your videos are like a refreshing cold shower, Matt. “Comparison is the thief of joy” has been stuck in my head recently. Social can be an endless spiral of comparison for me and leaves me feeling pretty low. This is another solid reminder to look back at how far I’ve come with photo/video skills vs where I think I should be in relation to others.
Good, but right now I'm needed different video: "The real truth about choosing your dreams"
What video did you need?
Same. For the last 12 years. Lost. Totally lost.

Your videos always have so much real tangible advice - thanks Matt! Positive vibes for anyone reading this!
I gotta say, I really appreciate you uploaded this video and I am obsessed with the last few videos for their unique message. I can relate so much with this one, and it's so true that we define success with the examples of outliers. Great work!!!

•Nothing is beautiful without struggle• 🌸✨
you're such a content machine!!! nailing it each and every time! gosh, loved that sooooo much!
Thanks Matt. I usually watch, like and move on with my browsing, but wanted to chime in. The truth of chasing your dream is that it inspires yourself and others. Success is always best measured against your former self rather than others.
When you actually don't scroll through the comments while the video is playing. That's how good it is.
Thank you so much for this video, it's an important message!! :)
I'm still young but I have a big dream.
I want to work as a clothing designer in my own clothing store. But I want to be COMPLETELY different from any other clothing store. I want it to be the most eco-friendly possible.
I'm talking about green factories, some in my country, some in developing countries. In the same building as the factory in there would also be a mini kindergarten and a school (don't worry about exposure to pollution, as the factory wouldn't produce almost none of it), so that the kids could be learning while their parents work. (I tought about wayyyyy more details but I'm not going to write everything here, it wouldn't fit 😂)
Also, green transportation of the clothes to the consumers, green pacaging, green eveything haha.
I would try to pay a good amount of money to everyone that worked for this.
I would have tons of campaignes to different causes, both social and ecological, too.
My dream is probably impossible, but I think about this e.v.e.r.y. single day. I hope I don't give up, but honestly I don't know.
Thanks for reading and have a good day ❤️
(english is not my mother tongue, sorry for any mistake)

Now i want to wear your (future) brand lol where can i follow your work??
@@yeet-xm1nu ohh thanks that means a lot ❤️
But I'm in school, I haven't even started studying arts, to then study design and then do something... So you can't follow my work because it's unexistente haha
But maybe I should start doing something now.... I just don't know what to do. Do you have any suggestion by the way??
MATT!!! THIS VIDEO IS SOOO INSPIRING AND I BROUGHT TEARS IN MY EYES.. IT REMINDED ME THAT CHASING YOUR DREAMS IS WORTH IT WHETHER YOU BECOME EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL IN IT OR NOT!!! YOU JUST CRACKED THE CODE WE ALL NEEDED!!! THANK YOU !!!!
Thank you for caring 😩🥺 we needed this content. Not only is it deep but I was laughing so much! We can feel the energy from y'all.
