Matt Joseph Diaz

I’m uprooting my life to try something new and different in another city in another state. In the time leading up to the actual move, I’ve found that a bunch of weird fucking shit (for lack of a better term) has showed up out of nowhere.

I know that the world can seem like a scary and terrible place, where it feels like the threat of judgment and exclusion is constantly looming. That’s because it is; but there’s so much more love and kindness on this planet than evil and suffering. There is generosity and spirit in every human being that runs so deep, you’ll find it hard not to fall a little bit in love with each and every one of them.

This week Matt talks about the new job he never expected to have, and how changing your career path isn't just perfectly normal — it shows how much you've grown as a person.

"The universe is a big, dark, cold empty space — but you're not any of that. You're a light."

This Monday, Matt talks about female comic characters. Batman? How about BatNOTSOMUCHMAN.

This week: Find what fuels you, and don't beat yourself up if what's fueling you right now is "surviving."

This week, Matt talks about fear. What happens when the worst thing you can imagine happening, actually happens?

Welcome to Monday Motivation with Matt Joseph Diaz! Every Monday (obviously) I'll be serving up some motivation to get you through the week.

Happy Monday, Ravishers!
