We can consider our lives through a traffic light metaphor. McConaughey claims that "greenlights" signify positive aspects of life. A road illuminated with a greenlight represents the right path chosen. Walking on such a road, a person experiences ease and confidence without resistance. Greenlight can manifest in various forms: gifts, compliments, success, a smile, and new beginnings. Getting a greenlight can be due to luck or simply being in the right place at the right time.

But life’s unpredictability means you also get yellow and red lights. Life reminds you to be cautious and attentive when you are under yellow rays. It may manifest in situations that deter you from making hasty decisions. For example, at the end of a tough workday, you want to rush to the boss and submit a resignation letter. Pause and realize you are just tired and overly emotional. It's better not to rush but to think everything through with a fresh mind and only then make a final decision.

The red light represents challenges and obstacles, representing a formidable adversary. You can often see it in moments of failures, troubles, and disappointments. In such situations, McConaughey advises perceiving this redlight not as unfavorable but as opportunities for growth and adaptation. This color may illuminate the path to your development through obstacles. You must decide whether to accept the challenge of changing your way of life or surrender by waving the white flag.

McConaughey believes that every light is integral. According to him, by changing your perspective on the red and yellow lights, you can see green. Therefore, when you stop at a redlight or are in a dilemma during the yellowlight, it's a valuable experience. Overcoming such obstacles and breaks over time, you choose the right path.
