Jordan Peterson - Face the Demons of your Imagination and Grow Up 

Kimo Sabe ❤️

Thank you the comment, so true. Better than my dad at least, hahahaha.

yes he is. After a while with his guidance and help you can't help but to call him dad

@@michaelbark3893 he's a good Zionist dad

haha love it!! 😆

He speaks like a father

Evan Green, I would call his speech a general talk about care - true care. Not post modernist oppression rant about how weak we all are. If everyone urged and supported each other to what we are afraid of I truly believe society would be better off

Facing Your Dragons: The Beginning hey man do you have any advice, I desperately want to get a job but so terrified of being around people and I feel like I’m going to mess up and get fired.

Well, he is a clinical psychologist. He is really interested in helping people in harsh situations.

NOPE that’s funny bc I was questioning harsh... maybe both are in question.

This is a good point. I just realized this. There are many great speakers, lecturers and thinkers who are wise and admirable but after awhile I get tired of them or need a break. However, it's not the same with Dr. Peterson. I could literally listen to him non-stop and not get tired of him. Something about him.

Why'd you type it like that

Damn... This motivated me. Thank you

Also, the word "motivation" has been sorta tainted today (all the get rich gurus)

He’s like the trainer who is in your corner giving you advice before the bell rings and the next round begins.

Watch videos to face truth man!

Actually, motivation is something that you do because you are forced to do.

this was really an eye-opener for me. Really good perspective to look at the things that frighten you

"Aha!... Dragon! Treasure!" -Jordan Peterson

qwertyuiop123456789 The uninitiated might think that Jordan Peterson is some character from a high fantasy story.

Nice photo. In Korea right now, love the country.

Treasure is behind the dragon, you only get the treasure once you defeat the dragon

grats andre the dragon slayer

You can add a plus 2 to your stat 🤓

You feel like you've get some livechanging advice from a warmhearted place. * * * Your Knowledge and charm has increased!

Jordan’s “pearls” never cease to surprise...”I see something I fear...this means dragon; AND gold...right here”. We have nothing to lose by trying to beat the dragon; at the very least there is only learning to be had - even if that particular dragon wins that round. Knowledge is second only to air!

I’d imagine it’d be more like “what does clean your room mean in general?” If its a more generalized philosophy course. If its a higher level then maybe “what would cleaning your room mean for you?”

AND that fifteen seconds he takes after is great. I would love to know what that was.

Brandon Brophy I agree

Very well put.

The horror ....the horror.

Watch the movie "Good Will Hunting" if you haven't already. Spoilers: it is about a kid with exactly that kind of problem. And my GOD it is a wonderful one.

how did it go?

Gotta first pull yourself out of the victim mindset before you interact with people or you'll leave them damaged forever.. Work on yourself

But did u smash

Same.

Key part, screen recorded, added to vault

A DC oh, get it together. He was thinking about what to say next.

I like to believe he was holding back tears during that silence, touched by the fact that the audience gave him some hope for humanity.

otoolex hahahahaha

Turn me on coach!

so's your mom

Great comedic timing on his part! And he didn't even intend it! 😂 uncharacteristic/unanticipated comedy is my favorite kind of comedy.

We know what he is talking about. Ever tried completing an end of year exam with minimal time left?

@@pieismylove5875 me, me, me.

Hououin Kyouma! AHA !

ha gotcha!

true lol

Hououin Kyouma! Clean your room bucko!

Hahahaha

Was looking for this comment lol

I see what you did there.

Lmaoooo.. AHA!!

Why do you think he's against it? Besides that it's a cancer that destroys whatever it touches?

@NOPE public speeches behind your own back, that must be really something

being forced wont help you, you have to do it of your own accord. Peterson talks about this. Being forced brings negative fight or flight response, willingly doing things that scare you brings about a feeling of accomplishment.

Matthew Anderson - nicely summarised.

Your predicament sounds pretty shitty, and I can't imagine what it's like for you. Also, I don't know anything about you or the details of your situation, so what I have to say is very speculative. Having said that, this sounds something like a Harvey Weinstein scenario, so maybe there's some leverage possible for you here in the wake of the #metoo movement. But you've likely thought of that, so maybe not. My intuition is telling me that the more something requires you to sacrifice your values, the more likely it is to be a mirage, or a "let down" as you put it. That is actually a big part of what addiction is, btw. It lures people with a taste of heaven, "touching the stars", peace, whatever (depending on the drug of course). Then it takes more and more to get less and less of a taste, until the only reason you're using is to feel normal and to avoid the hell of withdrawal. In the meantime, you've had to sacrifice all your values such as loyalty, honesty, etc. to sustain the habit. Is your dream an illusion, an inevitable letdown? I couldn't possibly say. But have you spoken to dancers who are already there? Are they genuinely happy? Are they experiencing everything that you imagine it to be? What are the downsides? And if they claim it's great, can you tell if they're rationalizing (to justify what they went through and might still be going through), or if it's genuine? Also, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "touching the stars". It could entail a need for recognition (which I definitely recognize within myself), or it could also imply an experience of transcendence. Recognition comes to very few, and I suspect it's very overrated (I wouldn't know personally). But experiences like transcendence and meaningfulness are different. My faith is that these things are available to everyone, and that nobody is required to sacrifice their values in order to experience them. That's actually part of what makes them so great; they don't leave a bitter taste due to the requirements of attaining them. When it comes to these sexual predators, or any external circumstances which you ultimately can't be guaranteed to "defeat", at the very least, don't let them defeat you. New possibilities will open up that you never saw before. There is always a way, not to every external result (e.g. becoming a dancer), but to every internal result (e.g. meaningfulness and transcendence) So in the process of transformation that comes with facing our dragons the result may or may not look how we preconceived it would. It may or may not show up as what we thought we wanted. But it *will* show up for those who go through the process. Personally, my greatest (and unintentional at first) achievement in life, and most meaningful and rewarding experience, has been raising my two children to the best of my ability. It has required a lot of sacrifices (e.g. I've been a barista for 14 years so I could be there for them, instead of using that time to pursue a better paying, more socially respected career). But I never had to sacrifice my values. Quite the opposite. I've grown tremendously, and I'm not sure what would be more meaningful than that. I'm just a random guy online, but I hope these words will be of some help, and I wish you the best of luck.

I hear what you're saying. Maybe I should transcend my being to find other ways to achieve my dreams and keep what morals I do have alive; I was so ready to feed them to the lions man because I do want fame. I deleted my comment, so as to not keep personal business out there too long,, but thanks for your reply.

chini with, to be honest, I regret using the word transcendence because I'm not entirely sure what it means to transcend one's being. But if it means something to you and if you think you can genuinely do it, then great. I do believe it means something, I just don't know exactly what it looks like, or if it's an appropriate way to deal with your particular issue. What I do know is the value of orienting oneself toward a meaningful purpose. It can help one endure and overcome a lot of hardship and suffering. Things which are probably unavoidable in life and the process of growth. Also, there's nothing wrong with wanting fame and recognition. It's good to be aware of it, and be careful not to let it drive you to do anything that's not in your best interest.

Ammer Reduron "Metaphors"

cheers dude, typo, no native but perfectionist hehe

But that's nice but in life though

I LOVE this perspective, thank you!

Joe Geraci I think Christian Fundamentalists give it crap because of Satan worship or whatever.

We come to terms with only actually having control of just ourselves and thats fine, go away.

Its okay
