:) we’re always proud of theo

I noticed that too 😂

Theo is the rural man's JBP

hes like "this kid gets it!"

that was a great example.

@@Domn879dude exactly. Unfortunately I know so many friends who still avoid the harsh reality of life - the journey will be painful but so fulfilling. They want to avoid that pain. But avoiding it and the void at the end is so much worse. I always have known I wanted to be successful of course, but I was nihilistic, messed around and was a dweeb of a man. Maybe I didn’t know EXACTLY what I wanted to do, but my one takeaway from JP and bit of my own advice is that as long as you have a direction that’s better than nothing. I just finished top 10 in my law school, got buff in the last 2 years and overcame about 5 long term ailments from saving from part time jobs to pay for surgeries/medications. Being disciplined - From going to the gym, law school, sticking to a job - I have improved so much as a person, and even if this was never my ‘dream goal’, discovering what that actually might be is so much easier now because I HAD AN AIM, just at something. Aiming at something and going for it will make you level up overall, which opens door after door to aim more precisely in the future. I have more money, a more presentable person, more compassionate person, more social person etc. from doing all these things.

What advice? He doesn't say what to do at all. Make goals? Everybody knows that

@@michaelhauser6440 you would be surprised how many people hear “write what you want down” but then never bother. That’s the advice. Define yourself and the life you want and then take the all else step every damn day.

It sure is

​@@michaelhauser6440 Peterson's way of explaining things just resonates with a lot of people. I was depressed and anxious for about 10 years and people around me would give me advice, but Peterson was the one person who got through to me.

Lmfao

😂😂

😂 Oh, man… that was brutal. Maybe it’s a fashion of sorts?

Thank you. Freaking stupid hair

Good song

He won’t be that way for long, i hope not tho

@@anessoltani whys that?

when he wasn't!?

@@Renovatio2142when he had a benzo withdrawal, and shit like that

@@anessoltanii hope the same for a miserable person like you. have a nice day.

How you achieved that perfect life ?

@@user-xn4ho4mb3d I didn't fully achieve it. I am blessed. The most important point is about the journey. Aiming for a perfect life and then attempting to achieve it in a healthy and loving manner is what I believe Jordan is describing. So even when "the perfect" life doesn't happen, the memories and people in my life as a result of that journey is what can be fulfilling. That's my opinion and that is my experience. I hope you experience those things, too!

"but I have a beautiful wife" -- So you go through the pain of a divorce and then you get married again? I guess some men never learn.

@@johnnastrom9400Falling down is hard but not getting up after will make you more miserable than anything

@@johnnastrom9400You sound like you have a story to tell

Your TV and search bar analogy is spot on my friend.

this is a good analogy

obly option is to throw out the tv and get a dumbphone, thats for only calling and texting

Remember you’re not an anxious person , you get anxious, same way you can feel calm

Well he was talking about getting lost in a figurative way.... Just saying that for you and the others 61 morrons approving your comment

@@christopheredig2332 He never said that's what it meant, reminiscent anecdotes are a thing y'know.

Yes I am very anxious

So true. At work I feel motivated because often I have well defined tasks to do (or create them myself). At the end of the day in my own free time is when I feel the most angst because I don't know what I "should" do

💯

What good of a job is it if you constantly have to entertain yourself with pointless work, it’s more then that. finding meaning to exist would be a better use of your time.

@@madmax-sr1to someone could hate their job but it still provides value I guess. Or maybe they can't afford to just quit their job and find themself. Bills to pay and all that

True and also if every human followed their dreams the world would collapse....think of all the shitty but necessary jobs that would be vacant if that happened

that is a sign of an infantile, a.k. a. not fully developed personality. I sufffer from it as well, but in reverse, grown up too quick, now my life is crumbling and I notice what I needed and can't have cause it's too late I'm with you there man...the struggle is egal and brutal

@@gordonhoax7206 Thats interesting to hear the reverse. I think i'm getting better at realising my own regressive/negative thinking and trying to move away from it. sometimes you can find amazing people unrelated to you to help you through. All the best.

What state did you move from sir?

@@desb3459 I'm a woman but I moved from California

Great joke, but if you take it seriously it's hard coping. Because some do.

You got this 👊🏽

Keep setting goals. Don’t give up. The hardest thing I’ve witnessed with friends that are experiencing new sobriety is feeling all the emotions. Drugs numb emotions and this can be overwhelming. Feelings are like waves we can choose the ones to surf. Try not to get stuck in the negative emotions. Stay positive with yourself. Make a daily affirmation that you will succeed and reach your goals. God bless you on your journey. ❤

You need therapy and medication. What you're going through is common after long term opiate addiction, been there myself. But it can be managed and dealt with. But you will accomplish that by working with your physicians and mental health professionals, NOT by listening to a racist edgelord like Peterson. This is what he does. He preys on people going through difficult things and wraps up basic concepts in flowery language and esoteric terms to make it seem as though he saying something profound when in fact he's just STATING THE OBVIOUS. Keep pushing on your journey of sobriety but FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST do not fall down the Jordan Peterson rabbit hole. You're on a good path and listening to this idiot will only drag you backwards.

go to Thailand and bang hookers

I feel like the hardest part about becoming better and working on yourself is the realization of how much you already missed out on. When we start working on ourselves we realize how much potential there would've been if only we started earlier. So we go back to the numb life, because we don't even want to know what could be. Does that resonate with anyone? I feel like the frustration you're feeling towards yourself right now is the best sign that you're on the right track 💪 hold the tension and keep moving forward it'll teach you a lot - just don't take it as a sign that you're moving in the wrong direction! The tension, the potential, the overwhelming feelings have always been there in the background, you just decided to numb yourself to them.

My problem is constant goal shifting , can't stick at anything... Severe Social Anxiety always stops me doing what I want.. Start Prozac tomorrow... At 46 aimless and pension less it's worth a shot. See if it can kick start me to tackle long buried childhood trauma.. I read to many success stories online not to try. Even a 30% reduction in symptoms would be massive. *BARRY* 🎉

Trailer park party tonight

The same here. I wish you good luck. And a happy new Year :)

@@jeffdourado Happy New year!

Schools in America are religious institutions of the ungodly. You don't need an education to follow Jordan's steps. Use education only to learn specific skills to accomplish your goals or find another way. I did. It can work. You can do it.

mr Yoda?

well... compulsory schools were based upon the Prussian model of producing soldiers silently obeying tyrants ready to die anytime so...

Schooling is designed to confuse and condition you, not to equip you with valuable.

@@georgemulford2910 youre so right. Very true

They won’t! Dr.Jordan Peterson is taking this to The Supreme Court of Ontario & get it overturned! ❤️🫶🏻🇨🇦 5:46

I dont think he gonna let em do that

Ha! Those people are going to get what they wished for - a re-education, but not of Jordan. They’ll be questioning their careers by the end of their first session.

Those clowns are gonna get absolutely schooled

I think this is a fatal flaw in being brought up in good times. Not sure about you but I had to work REAL hard in my 20's and 30's to dump the "your special!" garbage that started really ramping up in the 80's and 90's. I am sure there is a massive collective of folks that feel they have utterly pissed away the potential they were built up to believe they had and would unleash on the world. They started all the "advanced classes", our parents pushed sports and lived vicariously through us, our grades became weaponized and our peers made competitors. We turned it into squid games and every one of us was told we'd win. That hurts when you hit 30, 40, 50 and you ended up just a regular ass human like the 99.9999999% of us. You are not aimless or lost. You're human. Right there with you, mentally. Maybe just looking at it a hop or two removed.

To much individualism leads to social fracture and civilastional decline

Never too late my guy

Right after 1920 when we stopped mass killing each-other we got very bored and domesticated

start with what you dont want and be specific with it. then ask yourself what you'd prefer instead whether possible or not. you'll get there soon. maybe the want you'll find will be big and impossible but give it time with you and spend time with it and it starts to become a smaller and achievable goal. this gonna take time but it will definitely happen. it took me a few weeks but I am kinda looking upwards now, still no goal but Ill figure it out eventually, im confident.

I understand... And I'm the opposite. I constantly wonder, what's my purpose here? Just to do the same things over and over and it makes me sad. Just knowing, tomorrow is gonna be a similar day, or, it might be your last

@chrissummers4394 Everything you have described is you being within your personal comfort for way too long and suppressing your true potential and desires in order to maintain or achieve more within that zone and job/life. I might not be the best advocate for this as I'm 25 (not 40), which I can imagine makes a difference. However, what I can tell you is that everything you said apart from the age difference discribes me 1 year ago. 24, bright career especially for my age and environment, woman next to me, overall healthy friendship and family, but far on a deeper, mostly at the time unconscious level - I was aimless which affected my wellbeing, my relationship, my health, my looks - everything. Long story short, I left the company I worked for, shortly after broke with my girlfriend back then and at the same time some close family members of mine were having major health issues at the time. I started to self-reflect the last 5 years of my life, reliving them day in day out, day by day, trying to recreate the journey - who I was after graduating - who I'm now. What did I achieve, what did I lose from my previous personality and character? Why did I lose certain traits and habits I used to love? Why did I create this bubble of illusions that's centered around my career and growth on corporation level? Where did I do wrong or took for granted the woman next to me? What do I miss about myself, what do I want to start doing again, how do I want to look? What messages do I want to pass on to everyone close to me and the world in the future? How do I achieve that, what's the plan - logically? Visualise myself and everything as much as I can. Do not overthink but get going, then reflect on the experience and adapt on how to overcome the challenges or how to change the current short terms goals of mine. So, in order to feel driven, pressured and eventually fullfillment, you have to get yourself out of your comfort zone and that in my opinion is your work and bubble of day in life.

Find a something outside of your job. Helping others brings a lot of satisfaction. Volunteer etc..
