## Resource

Matthew McConaughey reveals the exact goal-setting practice he used at 20 years old, one he forgot about for three decades until he rediscovered it while writing his memoir. He explains why physically writing down and signing your goals turns them into a subconscious, non-negotiable contract with yourself.
