“You have a light that you have to bring into the world and if you don’t bring it into the world it becomes dimmer and when the world is a dim place, it can get very very very dark”
Ill comment here so more people read it. Despite the fact that Im still not sure what to think of him (and in no hurry to blindly jump into a specific side), I think that his ideas of what a person should do to elevate themselves to their true, individual potential, are valid. Breaking down this advice and applying it in a way that best fits your life (positively) will only help you, more than it will harm you.
@@SK-rs1hu that ties back to what Dr. Peterson is saying here: take care of yourself like you’re someone you genuinely care about (i.e. a friend, a family member). Once you begin to do so, you’ll not only feel better about yourself, but you’ll also come to a place where you’re able to bear the weight of life’s trials and tribulations.
I freaking love this guy. He’s emotional at times, yes, but he’s very intelligent and knows how to get his message across and cares about what he says.
That he get's emotional sometimes is what I like about him aspecially. Smart people with some kind of a facts only attitude are harder to connect to if you yourself are more of a feeler in my oppinion. I think it makes him very human and authentic.
He really, really cares. That's something that I took away from listening to much of library. He has a genuine love for people and humanity and knows that we all have the potential to bring great good into the world. That's why I can't ever take seriously anyone who criticizes him disingenuously or mocks him - you don't have to agree with everything he says but to dismiss or insult someone who is coming from such a place just speaks incredibly poorly of the person doing the criticizing to me. I'm looking at you Olivia Wilde, you disingenuous witch.
Listening to this man can really help you out perspective on things Especially when you're just a dumb kid trying to get his way in the world and being hit back hard when confronted for incompetence It's been one of the better things to have found this man's teachings
It all boils down to decisions and choices that we make every waking hour. If you can choose what’s right, and moral, most of the time, instead of what feels good in the moment, and do that consistently, you are well on your way.
Young’uns are so lucky. Kids are not dumb. Kids are way smarter than ppl give them credit. When I went to school, in the 70’s 80’s and 90’s they said to ask questions, so I asked but they never answered and didn’t push the subject. Even for HW once the bell rings it’s time off for them. You guys will make less mistakes than us 50+ yo’s & have better physical, emotional lives, bounce back faster and make more money. You live in a great time. Don’t waste it.
@Israel Méndez yea. I have nothing that anyone wouldn’t like. There’s a reason I have no friends, family or support system. Because they couldn’t see anything they wouldn’t like.
I tell the teens I work with all the time that “you would never say mean terrible things to your best friend so why say them to yourself? You need to treat yourself the same way you’d treat your best friend”.
There’s nobody in the world who’s going to love you more absolutely than yourself, even a mothers love wanes when her time comes but you have you from the sweet beginnings till the bitter end and every moment in between
I think looking at History of good people who spoke about truth, about what really matters and had the courage that Jordan Peterson displays regularly, he's in danger in a world where powerful people are in those positions mostly because of being the opposite of Jordan Peterson and his outspoken courageous embrace of truth will anger them. We need Jordan Peterson so much in a world that is angered by truth.
There a full version of this? I would love to hear this explanation fully fleshed out because a RU-vid short honestly doesn't do someone like Jordan Peterson justice he really goes indepth with the concepts he presents to people.
"STAY DOWN," Mr Peterson. I personally consider this subject content to be the most important subject facing Humanity at this point in time has been and will be. I greatly appreciate you and I thank you kindly. Job well done keep up the good work. Now carry on Soldier!
Wow now he made me cry and actually feel like I need to move and do something! Haha I'm going through a breakup and I feel very lost, not only about my breakup but about lots of things in my life, like my relationship with my family, wanting to be more independent financially, trying to understand where is my place in this world, not having many friends and feeling alone in a huge universe with no motivation to do something. I think I'm depressed. It feels like I'm not as excited as I used to be, but I'll try to improve and move even if I don't feel like to. I'll start psychology this year and I'm praying to God that this will make my life change for the better, cause I'm really wishing to be happy and to feel alive and important again.
What convinced me that J.Peterson was a voice to listen to, is that he is actually the first one in my opinion to admit and explain how life is difficult; There are motivators who says that life in reality is beautiful, that we can have an optimistic way of seeing life and reality but J.Peterson scientifically and precisely explain why life and reality is a tragedy and I needed to listen to the truth
When you try to convince people that they're just amazing and wonderful with no problems, eventually the reality of their own selves will prove that wrong and they won't be able to sustain trying to pretend they're better than they know they are. This is the best approach: yes, acknowledge the reality that you're not great. But also acknowledge that that's the case for literally everyone else too. You aren't especially awful compared to others. And you are entirely capable of good and usefulness in spite of the latent failure you can sense in yourself.
Let your light shine in spite of yourself. Someone may be on a dark path that needs lit. Until you get your mind off yourself and help others, your issue will never be resolved. I learned this lesson from experience. It works.
Damn Doc! you hit nails left and right on the head. When truth rings it hits all corners and is heard by the masses, bc we share that with glee knowing it will provide comfort to the soul
Sing it out Jordan, you have it to guide us in order to simplify as we give attention to our hearing, thankyou, inspiring us each time tuning in. Short sharp bursts of this condensed wisdom in which you have fluency, just the way we find it, come across the words and as it trips us up when necessary, is exactly as we need it, are blessed by it and as you share it abroad that we our here continue to learn and reassess our own , at times, dilemmas , daily grind, wonders and queries in and of life and living. Thankyou. Needed.
Well, if I could put something valuable out there then: Self-love comes from a place of "looking back at yourself". Some might say that this is also the place from which comes "self-hate" and I agree, but difference comes from position of reference. You can look from position of "how I'm compared to others" but you can also look at your self from "what I experienced." I think the second place isn't an easy place to face, however going back through those experiences gives better clarity of yourself, what can i build up from there, what I want from myself.
A person recently teased me saying I waist time watching JP videos and I said Watch like five minutes of him and then you can tease me for it all you want. He did and I haven't heard a word since. Lol yesterday I heard him quoting JP ... Magic!! 😊
Wonderful to hear optimism emerge from realism. So many motivational messages are based on euphemistic language and unrealistic positivity. JP manages to keep it 100% real yet still leaves you feeling good about yourself and your place in the world. Amazing man.
i respect him so much because he’s articulated so much of what i could never explain because i couldn’t fully grasp my thoughts. i’m young n thought of a lot of this when i was younger but can never fully explain to others what i men’t but i agree with a lot of this because it’s like the pieces that i missed make it plausible
He is exactly right... I told many people in my life not to be afraid to be yourself! Tonight at my local pool hall a female took her wing off ( as the world stared at her in surprise ) and she was unaware or she simply didn't care. I told her " I take my hat off for you, for not being scared to be yourself, that makes you more beautiful than your appearance!"
