Trust me, this man pulled me out of a very dark place.

I'm 21, I'm going to Social Science and Humanity University, I learn International Relation, and I'm an online English teacher, I spend time teaching children and I love that, I devote my time and energy to teaching, it's my ikigai, I read books, watch this man videos, and I feed God's always with me. I appreciate everything in my life. Thanks to this man, I got a schedule, I got a persistent sleep schedule, I read book and write, I don't use social media. I can live by myself, cook, clean up, washing up. I'm a traditional girl, I prefer staying single rather staying in a toxic relationship. I love this man.

"It's better to live courageously than cowardly," says the guy while controlling his cry. That just makes it so much more significant because one who knows more about him knows that he has really faced many people just insulting him when he isn't insulting anyone back.

What is the point of living? Muddling through, struggling, suffering that is the point. Bear your struggles with courage and declare to the world I choose to live.

I like the fact that he cries occasionally. It helps me trust him.

I've been listening to jordan since a year ago. I was just 18years old. Now I'm almost 19 but still addicted to weed en playing video games. But I just deleted all of my video games. And decided to take to highest responsibility I can bear. And you see, this took some time of thinking and procrastination. But everyday the sun rises there's this reset in my contentious that tells me. It doesn't matter what is if what could become is better to create.

I am 21 I’ve been listening for years and I am finally cleaning my room. I am taking responsibility for my life and finding purpose in this suffering. Thank you Doctor Peterson. You have changed my life.

In case you didn't know, JP had a bad benzo addiction that he confronted and went through his own personal hell to get himself out of the clutches of chemical dependency and the root causes behind it. He cries because he has lived what he is teaching here. He knows it, from his core to be the truth. Some view him as a failure or as weak for becoming actively addicted to something, he has walked the path that so many broken people have been down before and he understands the road and the pathway out of there better than most. Listen to him

Honestly I love it when he gets emotional, it hits my soul in a good, almost heroic way.

Speak the truth. Even if your voice trembles and you hands shake. Speak the truth. Peterson is one of the most inspiring people on the planet. I don't believe in everything he says. But I know in my core, that he believes it. And that's why I listen to him.

This guy changed my life. Hope I meet him one day.

The Buddha also teaches that life is suffering. Until you awaken to the reality of it. Look into Alan watts, Sadhguru, Taoism. Life is beautiful. If no one is physically torturing you on a daily basis. Life can be and is amazing and beauty. Once you realize that your mind is with in your 2 ears. And you can teach it to work for and not against you. I love all of you and wish you all the best in life.

Few beings have spoken so directly to the heart of life. This is why he changes people, they hear his truth, which is everyone’s truth.

We are the agents that transform the potential of being into reality. The creator of worlds and all that is good.

This man is truly a treasure for humanity!

At 18 I remember always wanting the truth about how I could find purpose in life, and the answer I would always get from my family and friends was, "misery is the curse of intelligence." I'd keep thinking how terrible it was that I hadn't achieved anything, but people would say nobody achieves anything so young. I feel sad that most of them carry these feelings even to this day, but it is wrong. I failed college and messed around with drugs and alcohol, and found myself utterly suicidal. Now I am planning to become a contractor, have a healthy schedule and have a partner who lives with me. She has a hard time verbalizing things, but she pushed me to find work and help with chores around the house. That alone fucking changed my life big time. JP says clean your room, but it's unbelievable to think just how powerful that is. When I clean my home, and have the money to survive, it becomes so easy to write, and workout, and go out with friends and eliminate the dread of immediate catastrophe. Really, it's incredible. Still very pessimistic about life, but it is not less worthwhile to see how things unfold than it is to just quit the game altogether now. The smallest responsibilities, an approximate aim, and hope. Powerful stuff.

The irony is, Peterson didn’t red-pill me, the media’s outrage over his message did

This production is not only meaningful, but well done. Beautiful job; just beautiful.

I would like to hear him expand on what “responsibility” means to him. Many young people have fear of that word and feel it means “blame”. Responsibility to me is exercising my internal power and ownership of my life.

Cant say it enough BIG PROPS PETERSON my life has improved so much on so much levels i dont think i could write 500 essay and cover it,in just one of his lectures THANK YOU

This guy………😢❤️

I have always tried to make sense of my own life and I think I come to terms with Jordan Peterson responsibility gives meaning to life. Thanks for this video.

Beautiful speech. His emotions coming through somehow makes it even more true and fundamental.

There are some many things I love about Jordan Peterson's deep and insightful messages, among them is his great capacity to verbalize the essential nature of humans beings and many of the problems we face in this visit to this world... he's a well of profound knowledge, yet despite all this and despite the fact that I can't exactly put my finger on it I feel his prophet like preaching echoes the prevailing mantras of western culture and reinforces them by constantly putting out there the messages of status, dominant hierarchies, your proper role in society, do this or your life will be a catastrophe, etc, etc. Even though many of the things he says are true, are well presented and articulated, it's obvious that he's a product of western culture. The problem also is that he presents his ideas as if they were the only objective reality we humans can live in. There are many valuable ideas, insights and lessons to extract from his speeches, but sometimes it surprises me that as much as he likes Carl Jung work he has never adopted his insights about Eastern wisdom and mysticism.... and when he does he usually treats them as some kind of side note.

I wish I could do more than just like this video🙏🏾❤️💯🏁. And Yes.... I woke up at 3 today.

Mind blowing to see such precise intellect mixed with heart felt emotions. KZfaq brings all the best people to the entire planet

If JBP seemed even more emotional than usual, earlier in the day him and his wife had found out she had cancer of the kidneys.

Dear: Jordan.. I constantly look for things to help grow and gain self improvement. You consistently make me question, analyze my life and make adjustments, be fluid as possible and look at things from all angles and you’ve help me achieve that. I’m aware of the challenges you’ve faced to an extent and I want you to know I appreciate your work and the thought you put into it. I wish the best for you and your family. You respond to your responsibility as a human being regardless of life’s trials and tribulations. You make a difference in the world for the better even though it can’t be easy being you. I live my life by a few equal rules which you’ve helped contribute.. remove ego, don’t care what people think and stay virtuous. Sweet and simple. Thank you sir

Absolutely love this. He spits truth and helps us conceptualize and verbalize what's in our minds already a lot of time

Mr. ‘Peterson, I didn’t lied about myself even in one wards, thank you very much for helping me with your kindness

Hi everyone, if you read this, it probably means that you can hear something in Jordan's voice what attract's you. It is his emotional message for me. You see, being addicted, Alcoholic and easily obsessed with everything has been an escape for me from my emotions. Thereby, I'm 19 years old and 140 days sober from everything now, and my emotions are slowly coming back to me. Normally I would use or drink or play video games by now, but I found something better, I accept now the fact that I feel. Trust me, it has already payed off.

Vision, honesty and responsibility also happen to be key principles of leadership. They are necessary to be able to create things (together) for the benefit of more than yourself. It is really remarkable that Mr. Peterson comes up with the reference to Genesis: Everyone is made in the image of God. I did the same in my book on leadership. To state that in those Devine qualities that we have the answer can be found what is expected of us. Use them to create, build, shape the future. Prove that you are worthy of them. Giving men Devine capabilities to achieve greater things also is probably the earliest example of empowerment (give a person the appropriate means necessary to accomplish the task given). How subtle and brilliant a plan with mankind is that.

👏👏👏👍..so true..however also difficult..but listening to this clip over and over again..it is absolutely true...!!! .just do it..

It is so easy to be around people. They are everywhere and they all need your help. I have always been a loner and get irritated when people invade my space. Love my life.

I'm not ashamed because you see me crying. I'm not ashamed.

Brilliant to say the least!

This was a powerful message.

Life is a beautiful struggle

I glad I am alive. I glad I have ear. Glad I have a brain fortunately this helps me listen to your words because your word light me up inside and I know you are a good man.

say it again and again I’ll say it with you. Your being lifted up.

That was amazing

Set your alarm in the morning. And when it goes off remember why you set it in the first place

You feel his passion about the human spirit. He really motivates you to know yourself and want to push yourself to a different plateau. Thank you Jordan Peterson

"Be scared of life, but be glad you can live one" -Unknown

Thank you!

Thank you :)

I practice courage. I think you're message is true

This is so very powerful

I like him alot... He real... He makes me laugh be cause his truth is powerful... In truth and as you gain in knowledge, wisdom, and understanding you're going to run into great sorrow and grief... Above and beyond, repentence and the desert period... To any of you guys who say you don't have to suffer, your living in the world, and you haven't spent much time with Father or Jesus'...

Wow that is very powerful bless you JP

We all know this. We laugh because it's true. We ignore its but when we confront it we can resist its pick up your bed and walk. It's Biblical so what can we do. We have to decide for are self master of us. Thank you for coming here and studying so hard to delivering us this message.

Awesome

I am crying...it's so honest and heart touchful...it's best,what I have had heard....

This guy gets it!!!

I'm f***ing balling rn tryna watch this

The truth the raw truth has so much power. ❤

Job faced the.test of life.and made it thru.to have his family back his health and prosperity.🕊♥️🗝

I love that Jordan...comes alongside us...puts a loving and understanding arm around our shoulders, metaphorically speaking. He is tentative and unassuming in his approaches ...as he has gone through everything he 'therapises'. Always... aware of entertaining his old demons - he already kicked out ! He then encourages us to not - entertain them either - and keep kicking them out. \o/ ;)

Imagine that you’re listening JBP while working out. Yeap, I do. I would recommend too.

It is one thing to be pessimestic, but something else to help people gain the strength enough to get through the reality of life. This is one reason why I like JBP, he tells people that life is hard, but also that they can be strong enough to overcome the hardships. It is like how Simon Sinek explains the difference between optimism and positivity. Positivity is denial of the negative, while optimism admits that the negativity is happening but understands we can overcome it.

Great video, the music volume was pretty distracting at times though.

Is there any chance you can share the event the clips are from? He has a tendency to wear the same tie (which is great) so it’s hard to decipher which lecture/event it’s from. That being said….he has changed my mindset in ways I didn’t think possible.

Daammn,how proud his parents should be?

What lecture is this from? I like the music but I want to listen closely and sometimes the music gets in the way to listening closely. Love the content though.

Does anyone have the link for the original video for this?

Peterson cited the story of the creation from Genesis as an example of bringing potential to actuality which I think he said is the greatest message from the West. Lest we forget the book of Genesis was written by Moses to the Israelites who happened to be in the East.

12 people don't like responsibility I guess.. I've got a book for them 12 rules for life

Many devotees of religion were taught from childhood that suffering exists in humans because of sin against "God." That sets the stage for ongoing guilt. I don't know about you, but I relate to the following quote ... "Human beings do not like being pushed about by gods. They may seem to, on the surface, but somewhere on the inside, underneath it all, they sense it, and they resent it.” Neil Gaiman, Anansi Boys

Hey Mindset Motivation, can I share your video? I see your copyright disclaimer, but i want to make sure that I can share this, YOUR VIDEO.

I understand where he's coming from, and agree with most of what he says, but you don't ever call anyone useless, it's cruel and heartbreaking. There are better ways to speak to someone without using such a negative label.

Too loud the music is

This is my religion. I'm gathering a basis that God is conscience. To have faith in your ability to make a conscience decision to better yourself threw your community for the persut of happiness. I plan on holding meetings virtually to discuss principals ,laws , beliefs, and how to live life religiously threw conscience decision. It is not a religion/way of life for the weak of faith because without it the greatest test of life cannot be played. And it rings a certain truth in the soul that you are the meaning of life. God is always a figure that drives us regardless of current religious systems but they all have the same principles at the core of them. Taking that and feeling the world around us there are simple truths that all know on a deeper level as unbiased fact. Those are the foundation to take care and love and hope for your surroundings but not to be blind of the truth. That this life is difficult under the best of circumstances but you have a conscience [godly] decision to continue the path to having faith of God threw faith in yourself. There are no limits to you as a creature made in his image.

True. Responsibility is good. You need to have the responsibility to take action against climate change for which we have been warned by the scientific community.

I like Peterson, have watched countless videos of him and have his 12 rules for life book. But watching this video, Peterson is taking things waaaay too seriously than it needs to be. Thus, I am more fond of Robert Greene's perspective on life and I have all of his books too. Jordan is too much concerned about the suffering aspect of life and preaches what "you should do". Robert, however, brings more realism to human nature and encourages you to be much smarter and more strategic operating in the world and with people. Life to me is as simple as this; Do whatever the hell you want to do without any guilt, remorse or even conscience (because those things are only going to hold you back from reaching your goals). And never put too much trust in anyone because we are all acting out of our own self-interest, and nobody truly cares unless it's in their self-interest. Does that mean you're a bad person? Not at all, it means you are being real with yourself and others. Life is the biggest game you can ever play, so just play the best game you can play. If something does not work out or you are not able to get something, simply move on to something or someone else. You are not bound to anything or anyone, and you can do whatever the hell you want. Don't try to impress other people because it's only going to make you and others more miserable. Prove things only to yourself, be the best version of yourself and help others become the best version of themselves. Every day you wake up, the only thing you should be concerned about is doing what is in YOUR self-interest, not anybody else self-interest. Become really good at something and make yourself indispensable. These sorrowful speeches from Peterson with sad music, no matter how accurate it is, are neither going to make you happier or help you take action. Because at the end of the day, that's all there is... Action! So stop complaining and start doing, and always keep in mind; Nobody cares if you live or die unless your rich and famous. Do NOT throw yourself away to others, never cast your pearls before swine. Just keep improving yourself and achieve the best things in life. Fuck everybody else :)

The music is too loud

Very occasionally someone comes along who is special, someone the world needs , someone humanity needs. JP is the light. If this was 2000 years ago he would be called Jesus. This wonderful human being has opened my life to truth and hope. Thankyou Mr Peterson .

Must youtube reflective and inspiring videos show windmills. I know; complete out of topic but the windmill thing is getting repetitive, I felt like saying it. On topic: suffer a little, live a little and laugh a little, enjoy them all.

Great video but background music like that makes it a bit cringey imo

People understand 1 thing about yourself is you are f"cking amazing , and you can do it

😍

Those who live in a culture where starvation is prevalent, don't have any hope, or way to escape their reality. Only those of us with full bellies will be on the internet, giving out advise.

Been thier and its not nice. I decided to start get real meaning.

Ig you wake up in three morning and feel like trash then you did something wrong the day before. Whether that's smoking, working too hard, eating too little, suffering a loss, your room is too hot... find out what that is and fix it right away.

True: humans can do great things: in the last 200 years slavery was abolished, child labor was banned, 5 days 8-hour workday became the new normal, we have civil rights and free education and health care ( most of the developed world except the US) ...... That was the result of collective action and individual responsibility. It was not easy because the establishment violently did try to suppress all these....

This nigga spittin

Pain is inevitable... suffering is optionsal

Hail lobster

Fucking master🙌🙌🙌

Man.. the video was great but cut that brass noise in the back. It annoyed the hell outa me.

He is very pessimistic that's why he is crying. He could also enjoy the present moment as it is. Future is only a concept. All we have is the present moment. Don't project yourself in the future. It doesn't make sense.

I'd like to say that He could well be the second coming but that would cause people to try and assasinate Him, just as they did with Jesus, Martin Luther King and John F Kennedy.

Are you talking to the Baldwins, the people hooked on booze as if that is going to make them better at their job when they are already great?

I really like Jordans intellectual capacity, his world view, his ethics, his rationality, he is a guy I would like to trust seeing as a leader of a huge country, the climate change issue, the WHO, the UN what else. BUT: from about 10:00 in this video he looses me when he is talking about 'a god's, about 'a genesis' and stuff. I was raised as well by my parents that I should believe that there is a Christian god, but it made never sense to me even as a child. So what shall I do with him after he discloses he is believing in an old white bearded men floating in space and creating life and universe in 7 days???

And it was good...simply describes what God did in creation vs the effects of evil that were to come. The rest about human potential and western ideals is mumbo jumbo.

What suffering?? Why do all these videos talk about life's hard times and suffering. It's all self inflicted "suffering" and stress. Name one thing that is suffering?

How the fuck did you get a 6 figure income 2 years after getting out of jail? Maybe he bought a convenience store or something? Or maybe some sort of technician diploma?

God created us in HIS IMAGE...does it make atheists GOD-ISTS who practice GOD-ISM?? and is that a deity hate crime?
