You never lose... only learn.

Don’t worries about “losing ”. It also matters who will become/ the type of person will you become after going all in

Very true. You are damned if you and damned if you don't, but you can ALWAYS pick the best route to make your proper sacrifice. So like Jordan Peterson is implying, it is much better to go all in to become a Doctor in order to save lives than to become a Garbage truck driver picking up trash (not that there is anything wrong with that, but you get the point). The higher your aim, the higher your goal, and the higher your values, the better for yourself and everyone around you. It is as simple as that, though oftentimes hard to live by. You have rivals, enemies, competitors, pressure from peers, friends, and family, all around you pointing their fingers at you, judging you. You must learn to detach yourself from ALL of that and trust 100% in yourself and your own actions. Let the results speak for themselves and never let anybody else really know what you are up to or what you are doing. You only got one shot in this life, so make the best out of it. Keep your hands and nose clean and stay on the righteous path towards honor and glory. Nothing in life feels better than striving to overcome obstacles and achieving your goals. Trust me on this one!

If you're prepared to lose, you're not truly aiming to win.

I don't understand it

And it’s an interpretation of Jesus no less

Hey man. I need your help I know what i need to do on life but i just can't make myself do it i can't stick to disciplined daily schedule i just play video game and waste my days in depression and every time i start improving my life i just go back to depression and video games and masturbation i even stopped contacting friends.

@@m_m2928 submit yourself to Christ and God and he will set your paths straight 🙏

@@m_m2928 start with helping someone else. Your life is a mess and you have no idea how to fix it. But you can take out another's trash or give someone a ride to work. Youll feel it.

@@98andrewmorgan My life is a mess mainly because I'm a people's pleaser. all my life i have helped people I know and people i don't, even when I was in high school i use to write homeschool for others because they asked me to do it for them, i could say no, but i didn't, i just help others when they ask me, and where did that get me? I'll tell you where, it got me to Depression, Loneliness, isolation. failure in life, and poverty, because i don't take care of myself, and those people that i helped most of them are taking care of them self.

*welllllllll said* I say all the time, that we simply dont realize the level of information and wisdom that this man blesses us with.. especially because hes SEEN it! reading his books is like getting experience from actaully living multiple lives in one

So good to see scripture laid out in practical terms.

See what. More vague bullshit.

Whoa, I have him pegged as an enneagram 5. I'll need to think about this.

Centuries of Christianity have tried to share their "hype"...but they got mocked and crucified...

@@RespectWong as a pro Christianity is person, let's not forget that Christianity did plenty of it's own crucifixions and persecutions throughout history. Try not to get to self righteous and victimy

What's the video?

It's an ideal, it's supposed to shame you. But don't get paralyzed and think you have to be that ideal. It's really something that should always be a bit better than you so you can aim at something and not stay the same. So it's more like the end goal and realizing you almost never match that ideal.

​@@JoeMcKenzie888that's particularly the purpose of the ten commandments. They are impossible to obey, but you should still aim to obey them.

Biblical Series VII: Walking with God: Noah and the Flood Link in the description (first line).

This is the sermon on the mount from Jesus. Matthew chapter 5

That is a sacred question... Pray for the answer.

Start with cleaning your room

For me was first getting tô know who I am. Then experimenting what I thought that could be a passion. So at first just try going after what interests you

In this case, what do you want?

you've got to be more specific

Michael Neppel That's a great question. I was starting to think to myself that that would be definable by every pereon. But then I started thinking maybe there is something like an equation for it, something that while being subjective can be described objectively, like X = (some sort of phrase or question that makes one imagine their highest good). But what is meant by good? Is it high moral virtue or is it the best someone can do something for example, such as a composer aiming for their best musical work? Hmmm...

Good and Evil, Light and Shadow, Yin and Yang, Truth and Lies. Could it be that they are the same thing? I dunno Im thinking out loud here. You cannot have one without the other. What is good for you, might be evil/bad for someone else. Who decides? You? or the other? Also you could be praised for doing the "right" thing but as well you could be praised for doing the "wrong" thing. War is a good example. Or the above example in the comments with the A-bomb, that it could actually have said millions of lives as it ended the war. So we praise the USA for killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people to save more? Who knows. I think aiming for the highest good is a completely abstract idea. Could it be just aim for the highest good that you believe in? No matter what it is? Even if its bad for someone else? I tend to believe that this might be the case. We know what we have to do but most of the times we don't do it. We might aim but we never shoot at what we have to do. I will go to the gym next year, I will stop smoking, I wont cheat on my partner, I wont lie to my children. Things that each individual thinks but fails to actualize. Sometimes it takes "bad" things to create "good" things. Is aiming for the highest good, putting action into your own individual rational thought??? Help! :D

its a subjective experience for each and every one of us, as existentialism is a subjective philosophy that relies on the existentialist to create his own meaning and value system in a nihilist post modern world. therefore, the greatest good is something only you can figure out for yourself.

Michael Neppel how do YOU. WE implies a collective mindset in which we all conform to a central idea of what a higher good is. That's not the case here because no one other than YOU can define higher good for yourself.

I would conceptualize the highest good as striving toward actions that benefit the widest array of people possible, starting with yourself and your family. 1. Be radically responsible for yourself. Tend your mental, emotional, and physical health every day by reading from a good book. The Bible, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, Pascal's Pensees, Practicing the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence, any book by St. Augustine, The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis, etc. 2. Be kind. Be kind to your family. Be kind to those you live and work with. Be kind to your fellow drivers, and those you encounter in day to day life. 3. Take a brisk walk every day, and drink enough water. Don't eat junk food. 4. Don't do or say or think anything that makes you ashamed of yourself. 5. Volunteer. Find an organization that helps people in need, and sign up. Habitat for Humanity, Meals on Wheels, whatever. Serve your fellow man with a smile on your face. There is nothing that lifts your spirits more than being of service to a human being in need. 6. Whatever you do, do it to the best of your ability. 7. Cultivate a cheerful heart. The world needs kind, giving, cheerful people. Yes, life sucks donkey balls sometimes, but whining about it not only doesn't help, it makes it worse. Don't make your life or anyone else's any harder than it has to be with a bad attitude.

The highest good is considered as the best, and selfless thing you can do towards other people in this world (helping others, say the truth,...)

Highest good. The best that you can treat yourself and others that wont have negative effects on others, yourself and the world around you. Heheehe .. just my two cents.. :-)

It means gym is life And you better be making gains.

The real answer is what it actually says "seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness." But JP is giving it a more secular application by saying essentially to "aim for the stars" or to think of and strive for your greatest dreams.

Read the description

I'm wondering too

@7Ekklishes like what

@KiD. it would help if everyone wasn't saying vague bullshit including jordan

@KiD. real helpful, bozo.

@@dantedarcy make me, you loud mouth clown. Thanks for the laugh, your pathetic little power trip attemp was great entertainment. You're powerless in real life so you run your mouth online, no one sees you. 🤣

I think the people who REALLY strive for the highest good do self reflecrions and meditations to check their thoughta and deciaions in the process, so ir they are REALLY aiming for the highest good, it is very unlikely to happen. Also, even if one fails, he will understand that he had made the wrong decision and go for other options

What is working for the kingdom of God? What does that entail

@@paulgreengod Being more in tune with the Spirit of God, growing by him and doing his will including preaching the gospel to others; that his soul was a sacrifice for sin like Isaiah foretold "When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand."

Not quite : When we align ourselves to a goal then its easier to arrange other matters that facilitate that goal. i.e. We know what we are aiming for and thus not distracted by the stuff that is irrelevant. There is no promise of a free lunch in all of this.

Which really kind of sucks if you're both hungry and lazy.

Philip Jones please can you elaborate. My friend recommended him but i don't understand this guy one bit.. He is trying to interpret Bible, then he brings pinochio, he is all over the place, I am really confused, he says to try to achieve the highest good (but the highest good for society or for me?) and tgen he says that there is no guarantee that our daily problems of food and other basic needs will be fulfilled without any trouble, that its a leap of faith, so theres no guarantee but we should still do it, why? I don't understand any of what he is saying.

Aim and ACT for a good so HIGH (for you AND for society), that the promise of accomplishing it one day will justify and give value to the daily suffering you will have to bare along the way.

It sounds like he's saying "Find your goal and focus on achieving it. By doing so you'll be less likely to go astray. Which is why so many people fail - they become aimless and when you're aimless you achieve nothing. But when you have a clear goal you'll do what needs done and get what you need to achieve it, part of which includes your daily needs."

You may want to drown, but I doubt you'll want it once it's happening.

Leonardo Ramírez - Totally agree

How's it working

@@paulgreengod Start off with small waterfalls and work your way up. Don't stick to the rivers and the streams that you're used to. The songs advice is for lazy and non-ambitious people.

Sincere question: where is the big divide between God and the idea of God? Are they not the same thing? Or rather, can they not be the same thing? Our understanding of God is limited by our humanity. We only see so far. We only think so deep. Is the face of God so clear that it's wrong to find divinity and actionable wisdom and presence in the idea of God?

Well, we have made it this far might as put the faith in humanity.

For the idea of God to work a litreal God isnt necessesery. Or in other words even if god not exist we should still take the god advice from the Bibel (or at least Jordan peterson interpretaion of IT)

Joe Lewis didn't solve it, they were pathologicaly astrayed

They werent paying attention to the effects that their actions did

What utter nonsense.

Congratulations!

not everybody destined to be great. and seems like thats your case

It isnt a promise, clean your room, bucko.

You forgot that there is a kicker....

He said that you should have something that your trying to build or to pursue. It means focusing on what really matters to you... it’s about taking responsibility. Example is Elon Musk and Steve Jobs.. they didn’t give a shit about anything trivial... they just focus on innovation. They don’t give a shit about traveling, buying luxuries they work towards the benefit of the society. The ark parable means, there’s an inevitable moments where there’s a crises that will come everything that is trivial will get washed a way by flood except on the things that you build that matters.

ron johnson we found the triggered atheist

Religion isn't a problem it's humanity. Anything that can get us to grapple with humanity in a beneficial way has value.

It's literally a Bible lecture so gtfo

And what makes you an expert on this? and how do you even know your interpretation is any more accurate?

Dr. Peterson does not promote absolute faith in a christian God. He uses examples from the bible in a mythological context; words to live by. he also uses "Pinocchio" as a moral tale, as in this video clip. So no, his premise by no means begins/ends with God.

When we accept Christ as the idealization of what it is to be human then our struggle is to be Christ-like. To be as close to Christ in action and everyday moment as we can, and this is difficult because we are flawed, born in sin, thus doomed to struggle. I think what's being said here is that putting your relationship with God before everything else *means* aiming for the highest good. Just like aiming for the highest good means putting your relationship with God before everything else. I fail to see the difference between the two. If we live our lives in this manner and doing so provides respite from the storm of suffering... if we live our lives in this manner and doing so brings a measure of happiness and meaning, then we have accepted that there is such a thing as meaning, we have faced down nihilism, and thereby we have won the only victory that we can.

I'm not an expert, however having a relationship with the Author allows me to understand. The Author is God. How? 2 Timothy 3:16: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

I understand what you're saying however it's still wrong. You can't open a sacred book and interpret it any way you want. If he doesn't have the correct understanding it's perfectly fine to seek council rather than assume interpretation. In the Bible, what his doing is called false doctrine. 2 Timothy 4:3-4: 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
