The Time Jordan Peterson Gave The BEST Life Advice - Chris Williamson  

You see, you've got to be HONEST with yourself.. and that's a real hard thing to do, mind you. Why do you think so many people live in delusional bliss? The first thing you need to do to make your situation better, if that is indeed something you truly want, is to admit that part about you which pains you so deeply and accept that reality. "I have shit myself" And what'll happen is you'll instantly feel 10lbs lighter.

@@yunbha4418bravo

You ever look back at a time that seems distant, in that moment you held back, because you were too afraid of what the outcome of you speaking up would be, you ever think back and realize that it wouldn’t of mattered what you said, as long as it was the honest you. What you said wouldn’t of mattered because when you think back you realize that you could’ve kept it real when you didn’t, that’s what bothered.

The trick they don’t teach in school is that you don’t need any talking or listening to remedy this unfortunate situation. Remember that we can literally just leave. Like, agh you shat your pants…. What a robust excuse to go home and take a much needed shower. Technically, the longer you are chilling and being alive and stuff, the more likely you are to have absolutely annihilated your breathable nut cradle apparel!

@@Ashhh4422hahaha bru I love you! 😅❤️🥸

And it’s bathed in a shower of truth

Poetry is philosophy

poetry was always viewed as philosophy until only recently. edit: correction, ancient west hated poetry, late ancient/early Middle Ages until the Renaissance poetry held a high place, Romantic era revived poetry in the 18th, declined again towards the end of the 19th century, and returned again somewhat in the 20th.

It sounds like something straight from the 'New Age Bullshit Generator'. Give it a spin. It spits out nonsense like this with every click.

When you are going through Hell, aim for Heaven.

That's the exact thing I thought

I immediately thought of this quote by Churchill!

didn't Churchill lead like 100000 Australians into a massacre in a Africa?

​@@hoboninjuh8057Yes, and then he went to fight in the trenches to redeem himself.

And you, brother!

Amen. Hoping I get this career job. Been in my head for years it's time I take control.

Thanks. Not sure why everything has to feel so personal.

you can get those lyrics from an old Peter Gabriel song. And it sounds much better.

"If you are going through hell... keep going." Ducky, NCIS.

Whew......🎯 😳

@alantheleader Incredibly well put! And the awareness part is like exercising, it needs to be trained regularly, not just recognized once and then expected to be there forever.

This is the cure to disease

@@Leggo.my.Ego. spot on!

You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Jesus is the answer💙

Truly understanding the world around you only makes you feel more sadness

​@JustinMccombs-su6qi ..but when most of the common people are good at heart, sadness is reserved only for the few.

And the "to feel everything oh so deeply" is rupi Kaur 😅

Oh yeah well that shakes beards guy probebly said it before them!

Yes! The short!

I'd have to think JP has been there and understands how it feels. He understands the only way to overcome pain is to fully embrace it. I came to this realization at some point in my life too.

If it think that advice is succinct then I don’t think you understand the meaning of the word. It was vague, not succinct. Succinct advice would be detailed, simple and precise.

Unless it's about religion.

He replied to the question but he didn't answer the question.. he did give him some advice to turn the curse into a blessing. The obvious (slightly autistic) answer is that it is whatever you perceive it to be and if you let it be that, it will only be that.. Peterson gave him a positive path forward. Well done JP.

No judgement, just genuine curiosity, but I'm wondering how the advice is "actionable" from your perspective, if you don't mind. ✌️😁

This is the cringiest thing I've read in awhile. Did you all circle jerk too?

Yes, much better.

If you can walk through hell and stay standing through it all, then not even the satan will have the power to knock you down

Only by asking for help will you get through. If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent. Sacrifice is not necessary; forgiveness is.

Si don’t overthink things. It’s a choice. You are no different from anyone else.

​@JK-vc7ie not always a choice... different people think either different depths of sophistication. Clearly your brain isn't capable

"Just stop it bro" Wow thanks I'm cured

@@JK-vc7ie What a way to assume. You don't even know him.

@@chrishill8429 I don't need to know him. I know the truth. I know humans. We are all humans.

Could you elaborate spirituality if you didn’t mind

​@@saucyalfred8576 what... ? You don't understand at all

​@@saucyalfred8576Too lazy to go watch them and yourself and find out

⁠@@saucyalfred8576I will help you my friend. Spirituality starts when you start to realize what we are. We are existing on 3 planes of existence simultaneously. You’ve got to realize you’re a spiritual being having a physical and intellectual experience. Do not neglect your spirit. The more you understand any science the more you can connect it to life and spirituality. Learn about real history. Objective history, not the story told by the victors. Learn about religions. I’ve come to understand after reading several religious texts that the underlying message is very similar throughout. Read the Bible, Quran, Bhagavad Gita etc. Whatever interest you. When learning everything don’t take it like it’s the only possibility for truth. Truths change over time. Especially in science. If you weren’t gifted with a superior system it will be hard for you to absorb this information just never stop learning. Be genuine. I’ve learned so much that I can actively control certain energy centres when I meditate. Through kundalini practices. Whether or not something is a placebo doesn’t matter. All religion and faith seems to be a placebo to me. We have worship genes in our DNA that are EXTREMELY pertinent. I believe when you max out faith you genuinely physiologically change the structure of DNA. So remember. A placebo that works is still something that procures genuine changes therefore it’s technically not a placebo. If anything start with breathing. 98% of humans I meet don’t breathe properly through their diaphragm. As baby’s we breathe solely through our diaphragm and stop doing that as we grow up because of social norms and constraints on general knowledge. Jordan Peterson is a great way to start understanding spirituality. He can communicate ideas very effectively and efficiently. Learn the laws of the universe. Try and understand what GOD is to you. GOD to me is an energy, a harmonic, a field that connects all, yet is the substance in between. GOD to me is my DNA. My ancestors guiding my body on how to react to every situation, emotional, physical, spiritual. GOD is whatever compelled me to take the time and write this comment here for you. They say heaven and hell are places you go to when you die. Yet I read the bible and it doesn’t actually say that. People read the bible WAY TOO literally as if it was written yesterday. It was written thousands of years ago, in a language before English was even a thing. It went from Latin, Greek, Hebrew, English etc. You think a translator thousands of years ago could perfectly translate the text? Even when google translate today gets things wrong? Read in between the lines. Don’t take the very words so literally. Heaven is a place you go to when you do good for yourself and others. I believe this to just be a mental state. Same way where if you do sin you go to hell. (Mental state) Your brain will not allow you to simply forget your sin. You literally go to hell. A hellish state of mind, body and soul. I could go on and on for hours about the floods that reset humanity and how the garden of Adam and Eve actually looked, what Sumerians are etc. Book of Thoth and the emerald tablets… etc

No I mainly focus mental,physical, financial as my core traits

Jesus did it better. If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent. Sacrifice is not necessary; forgiveness is.

@@robertdouglas8895 You missed the point

@@RNicky.Larson The point was not that sacrifice is virtue? It's not. It's to be avoided through forgiveness.

Proud of you man! Sounds like you litterally crawled yourself out of a mental hell, keep it up man! Your story is almost mine to a T

I had a similar journey. Just standing up made me wildly dizzy. Now I can deadlift 315 lbs and bike 20 miles. Keep up the hard work!

I'm not sure about that level but he's amazing at taking what they have said and done amd how they think and putting it to a modern use. He brings back the values of the past and uses famous quotes in a poetic way

@@austinsatterfield6792 I can respect this response. Thanks for your input.

Why doesn't this have more likes? SMH.

you mean this short over and over?

I feel this. I just listened to it 5 times… the message is so on point…. If you know you know if you don’t knowc you’re blessed.

i hear it too

@@GnosticMaximus yes,

Yup, I had to do a repeat myself (don’t typically watch shorts cause of serious context issues) Wisdom has always had a “tone”. Whether or not one can hear it or recognize I suspect is subjective to them alone. However, what is unique about this digital world is putting “wisdom on repeat”. I am beginning to recognize the beauty and power of this. The tone is beautiful, uncorrupted and hopefully transformative. It appears to echo across space time and people. Which is why we want to hear again and again like a marching beat towards truth. I will leave it there for now regarding the dark use of wisdoms tone as marching orders towards “truth” played on repeat in the hands of a naive fool /mis manager or tyrannical monster…. and for that matter everyone in between. This was an amazing replication by Chris of fundamental wisdom he found through Dr. Pederson. Now Passed on to you and I. Its probably best we act accordingly. Thanks for sharing, Take care Jeremy.

It’s pretty clear you don’t have the same issue, because the people who need to hear advice the most never listen. It’s a curse

@@MagerBenefits its pretty clear you do have the same issue because once you stop being buried in your own consciousness, you realise that humans beyond being crude, ignorant and unsophisticated, hold potential for immense growth. Don't make such sweeping generalisations. Its both a blessing and a curse.

Curse because not eveyone can handle deeper level of pain and suffer

@@dauirkerimbek1413 keep telling yourself it's A curse and you'll definitely live the life of being cursed You speak Your existence Into your own world

@@killer6969🙏 very well said !!!!🙏👍as the Bible says every single one of us have an "infinite" Transcendent worth.

Without suffering one could never be truly happy

Oh ya. Me too. I'm reinspir3d and needed this

Me 24/7, these really help me get through it

Well he dealt with it by becoming addicted to benzo’s so I don’t think it he is a good example of it

​@Tobias8842 He beat that problem. Guaranteed you've never taken career risks for the truth or created or helped a 10th of what he has, so you can't criticize.

@@barbarasherman4870 my room is a lot cleaner than his is

Nah, he's just grifting you. It's pseudo-profound nonsense. Explain it in your own words. Good luck.

@@barbarasherman4870 my room is cleaner than his

Lmao

"greatest". Also it's a word by word poem of rupi Kaur

More like a brocast

Do you read? Or do you listen to podcast and shorts like this? I don't read but live for knowledge like this.... I'm listening not reading

Thank you for doing it for me

Petersons version means a lot more

Beautiful.

I love Jordan, but that is from Nietzsche.

@C0WABUNGAITIS not everything Nietzche said was wrong or nihilistic

Yes. This one gets it, Father

Yessir they all do... Nigerian here. ❤ Aristotle, the Indians, they all stoned.

Yes harry. Yer gunna do spells n shite

Same, lots of us do in this time

I may regret asking, but….. why?

@@kevinheilmanwoodworking7015 because this is cringy, pseudo intellectual, I’m 14 and this is deep, men discovering empathy type shit. It’s just and eye roller to put it shortly

I guess you have the poetic analytics of a middleschooler?

Would never thought seeing rabbi nachmans name in this comment section. Awesome

I knew of him before Peterson actually! Great suggestion

Do something for yourself ;D

@@nothat1pop897 I create masks for people who already wear too many

It’s this new-age stoicism pseudo-philosophical grift. They’re preying on young men who are addicted to their phones and lack direction or strong senses of community.

all self development and business have the same ideia, probably its just written different, but that different makes the change, sometimes a person say something in a way that help a group of people to understand better Also most of those books says the the best way to learn something is through repetition take "outwinding the devil for example"

You could never get that sort of advice anywhere else

@@jasongonzazlez4349 Yes you can, you just have to look for it. DO THE WORK.

Say anything poetic and ill judge you mate.

It is an impressive piece of advice. If you feel more deeply than those around you, the best way to live is to embrace your condition in the world, rather than seeking to become alien to it.

Nobody likes a contrarian

His political and religious beliefs make it hard besides he's definitely an intellectual when it comes to psychology.

@@kenich2611 Can you explain, “His religious and political beliefs make it hard”? I’m not sure what you mean. Or how that effects people seeing and understanding him as a person.

​@@kenich2611 people think everything is political or religious, if that keeps you from listening to smart people then your choosing to be an idiot out of fear if hearing something you disagree with.

​@@treeknome2642modern collectivism breeds ignorance. Some people only listen to people they agree with a d arnt open minded enough to remove the the people talking from the actual conversations. Basically if hitler said "2+2=4" they're logic is "well hitler said it so I know it's wrong"

​@@treeknome2642theu assume ignorance of the other parts based on belief. Quite wierd
