It could be coincidence, but since I discovered Jordan Peterson i have quit a 15 year alcohol binge, enrolled at university to persue an engineering degree and joined the gym 😁
Congratulations and well done you bravo - I left a 18 year relationship and happy to be alive thank you Dr. P who appeared in my life after loosing my Father - keep doing you ✨
I watch him often bcz he gives great life lessons. One thing he always tells us is to have children because becoming a parent matures you to a great adult. To those of you who ended up taking different paths in life, you are worthy too. You are as significant as much as you make yourself so go forth, make great purpose in your life.
Some of us who didn’t have children invested in the lives of children as a volunteer coach or teacher or a Sunday School Teacher - i learned many things about children & how to deal with parents
I've learned to parent the child within, who never had parental figures to guide him in life. I don't agree with 1) contributing to human overpopulation, and 2) assuming the drastic & delicate responsibility of creating a life as motivation to change yourself. There's better ways to deal with the challenges of life; ways that don't risk you permanently balancing massive irresponsibility with personal-growth. As someone who had parents that weren't good & mature adults, I'd prefer to parent myself rather than irresponsibly create life & contribute to the increasing strain on our planet's very limited resources.
@fricative247 I beg to differ, I never said that those who have no children bear no responsibility. Furthermore, I said to 'go forth and make great purpose in your life'. For example, I have no children yet I bear the responsibility of serving others, this has been my lifelong career. Additionally, my elderly mother presently suffers from a disease there is no cure for, an added responsibily of mine. No, I am not young nor do I have children.
You’ve got this bro! Never give up! With love you can overcome any obstacles, love is building, creating what is positive, and destroying what is negative
Even if u think it is too late , I’d rather living the next years of my life working on changing my life to the better , knowing that each day I’m making a change
@@MaryMaaseWell 🤔 I beg to differ on that particular assumption because God is the author and finisher of our faith so why wouldn't you care about our Creator and take on a personal relationship with him and actively seek him yourself?
A big part of me hates my life and wants it to be miserable. I can't seem to break through that happy of hating myself and everyone else for not being there for me or supporting me. I had horrible parents and can't stand the thought about fixing my life because i would have to actually take responsibility for myself. It's so frustrating trying to move forward
@@EvanWilliamGtry and have compassion for yourself. Your parents didn’t treat you right, notice how sad that is. Notice how fucked up what they did to you was, and when you can sit with those feelings and start to have compassion for yourself, especially your younger self, is when you may begin to move forward. Best of luck on your journey bro. Peace and blessings
@@biatae2713I couldn’t have said that any better myself bro. I had a somewhat fucked childhood and my parents were alcoholics. For a long time, I use to hate thinking about how growing up in that environment made me the way I was today and would always wish I could have just had happy parents like everyone else and be “normal” like them. That mindset really started dragging me down more and more as time went by, but eventually, I decided to finally change my mindset and acknowledge how fucked my childhood was and started accepting it for what it was. I started to embrace it and eventually became the best version of myself because of it and now im thankful for it and the person it made me today. I know I typed a lot it’s just I’ve noticed many ppl in the comments are looking for advice so I tried to give a short version of my experience on this topic.

Jordan's point about goal-setting is so true when you observe the lives of celebrities or pro athletes after they retire. A lot of them that resort to hedonism are miserable inside despite having the lifestyle that most people could only fantasize about. 'Happiness' is such a short-sighted and naïve long-term outlook. Most of what we find meaningful and fulfilling in life involves overcoming hardship by sacrificing immediate delight for a greater potential future reward. A junkie is happy when they're indulging in their substance of choice until the dopamine high ends. People shouldn't be striving for happiness, they should be striving for purpose.
Maybe. Your should is yours. My purpose is mine. Getting there is often easier said than done which makes it worth it. Rationale of pleasure and suffering/sacrifice. Yes I will because it serves me and my future, and those around me I care about. No it doesn’t seem my purpose. Choose accordingly. Fate, free will and fulfillments begin simply with pleasure aka gratitude
Meditation and gratitude are essential in our day and age there's an abundance of opportunities available to the masses we just have to work harder at being comfortable sharing ideas with eachother each one teach one and let's make this world a better place for the future generations. ✌️
I am a RN & my goal was to be the best I could be for my patients. To be compassionate and knowledgeable. I have always thirsted for knowledge. I loved my profession! ER-Trauma was my baby! ❤️ When I became disabled and I couldn’t work anymore I was devastated. Then it was bang ❗️ One thing after another! I couldn’t catch my breath nor adjust! My family who were always supportive didn’t understand. I was abandoned in so many ways. I grieved for 15years!! Finally I turned my life over to Jesus Christ & I was told I still had a purpose. Love others, be authentic, empathetic and compassionate. I became an intense & better version of myself because of all I have been & am still going through! I have Peace , Love ❤️ and Joy in my heart & I love others and I love being there for them ! I don’t consider myself better than anyone else but I know I have been mightily Blessed ❤️🥰😇😻
❤ this is awesome!! So happy to hear you are having a great life with Jesus!❤ would you pray for me? I'm where you were. 40 yrs in nursing and had to quit. Now, I need to get back to work. Grateful for my time off.
Always delightful to listen to Jordan Peterson, I am extremely grateful to have come across this man speeches and books years ago. Greetings from Brazil.
You are one of my true heros Jordan, thank you for the positive impact you've had on me and the rest of the world. You are doing God's work, thank you. I'm looking forward to see you again in Vancouver!
Thank you for having our back, Jordan. I get no support or encouragement from anyone whatsoever and you're someone who's inspired me time and again. From the depths of my heart, I'm grateful that you exist.
Oh I did suffer tremendously. But my suffering brought me to Jesus! Sometimes God has to break you to bring you to the Savior. Listen to this song by Danny Gokey “Masterpiece” Let me know what you think 🤔
I use my trauma/negative emotions to fuel me to become better so that i will be different when it happens again or make sure that it doesn’t happen to people i love And I use positive emotions (excitement and proudness bc Im being better) and looking forward always for good things. I have metrics for myself, that i should be better than the yesterday me. The one thing that I dont do is compare myself to other people especially thos that belong to diff timeline than me
These types of videos really give meaning to life. JP is a man of his kind, the dad of people who are using this thing called the internet. I remember when I saw his videos for the first time; he really made me think of my life and the way I see things. I laid out my cards, and I started fixing things, one after another. Luckily, things started to unfold the way they should.
Improving English thanks to Jordan Peterson is priceless 🙏 this thing of goals and forward movement being the Essence of a worth living existence is so inspiring ❤
I hope the brainwashed feminists realize that a college degree and a paycheck cannot bring the happiness that having kids and building a family can. No comparison.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.andrew_james. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Dr. Peterson, I admire you and your work. I especially admire your strength of character. I always think about what you would do in a situation. My conscience used to have my accent, but now it has a Canadian accent😅.
Love understanding. Through knowledgeable information and using it with careful judgement love and openness towards all . Much love . Bless you everyone!
The greatest thing he points out is that you yourself are the only person who can change your situation -- and you already have the power to do so. Imagine where you want to be and move forward toward that goal, with purpose, humility, and an open mind.
I've been through my trials and tribulations like others. We are all individuals in the way that we have our belief patterns. I love learning from Jordan Peterson. He teaches me a lot about my envisioned self. We all have different people that reach us as humans.
You know Mr Peterson, I feel like aiming up is just part of it but having something meaningful is also really important. Because sometimes you might be productive but no meaningful purpose. It's like having art without soul.
Go to a dictionary. I’m showing my age here! Lol Anyway I love learning & if I hear new words I have a thirst for what they mean. It also improves my vocabulary!❤️
Just wow and full of truth. Could i please have a link to the full lecture? For myself and the students that support at the school I work at and for tje future students that need your wisdom. You have changed my way of thinking on so many issues. Too bad i cant even get my mother to watch even one of your videos. Oh well. Thank you for all that you do.
Being Daddy was and is the best job I ever had! Now continuing to be the best daddy is the role I enjoy most. Remember to enjoy even the smallest of thing. Remember the naps, the giggling, and the tickle spots. Best job you will ever have!
@@johndavis7078 I will remember these words you just have written for me. I promise you. Greetings from Uruguay Sir! Next month it's my birthday and I'm turning 26. I'm already less than 5 years from it 😊🙏🏻
Jordan Peterson gets through to me. When he speaks I agree with that factually and logically. When i first heard have talked about having a goal and how it creates positive emotion I was blown away. Having goals and meeting them build the dopamine in your brain more and more and it stays there as the baseline. This is the real way out of depression by doing things we have proven that raise the baseline of dopamine in our brains. Things like goals, exercising, eating right the gut brain connection with good gut biome and excellent blood flow rom a healthy heart to feed the brain and body oxygenated blood.
Got to see him tonight in Stl, wearing this exact suit! ♡♡♡ DrJP is just amazing. I love him. It was SO truly awesome hearing him live. Just rows away...if I ever get a 2nd chance, I'm paying to meet him. ❤ Thank you for such an inciteful and memorable night. 2:13
Life is about compromise, it fails you, you adapt, if you flexible you ok, if not you will struggle. Free will is an illusion unless you are ready to perpetually cooperate.
Thank you for being here sir, everytime listening you enlightens me more than before and this one is one of those that I will have to re-watch and absorb it thoroughly

One of the life questions never asked is , when all is well with your life , you have a loving wife lovely children and content with work , but still there feels like something is missing something is trying to pull you astray , I think that’s where the I just want to be happy thing comes from , how to remain content with a good life
Thank you for being the father figure I never knew I needed, guiding me with wisdom from afar. Has anyone else found an unexpected mentor online? Let’s share how they’ve impacted our lives!
I'm truly grateful for the invaluable insights shared. The author's honesty and wisdom are both eye-opening and inspiring. It's a reminder to embrace life's lessons and make the most of every moment. Thank you to the author for imparting such valuable knowledge.
Humanness thrives on challenge. Being rewarded for providing is a primal joy. Find your limits and push past them. Open up the best version of yourself and treat yourself like someone you love.
Brother, think about your passion. Think about the whys's. Think about your change of narrative, think Bout your focus. Think about the fog. You're a prophet protected by the creator of this universe. Bless you. Consider this . Thanks bro. I love you bro.
"I just want to be happy" I am so glad I did not listen to this in 2022 bc I would have thought just being happy is unrealistic. It is possible to just be happy. Change the inner emotion to peace and happiness no more depression and anxiety. It is absolutely possible I did it.
Please be my therapist. Ill pay u whatever u want! U r absolutely brilliant. Ur ability to cut straight to the "nut", right thru te symptoms and directly to the cause, then working backwards is exactly how i think. But the "nut" seems to remain hidden so often that it leaves one without clear direction. This message left me with such positive emotion and that fact reinforces what the message imparted-that is "movement towards a goal is happiness". Also, i full agree with the "how will u be in 5 years if u do nothing?" And i also apply that same logic to goals. If u want ur life to be different in 5 years u cant wait to change it in 4 years 364 days from now. Set a goal and immediately put legs on it, keep it in front of ur eyes, moving forward pursuing it even when there are setbacks. And lastly, stay on the lookout for depression if u r prone to it. Its far easier to redirect ur thoughts at the onset than later when ur in the pit. Js, been there, done that. So quick, put down the shovel.
Love this video. I am just a parent for the 1st time, so I could collect and fix my way day by day because any step I go through will bring a story or a lesson for my child, even though how it badly
Thanks for allowing free speech. It took me 70 years to change "my life" ... by realizing that religion was "created" by "theologians" ... that hated each other … and whose aim was to steal our birthright of feeling whole ... away from us ... by teaching us that we are born "evil sinners" ... and that only THEIR teachings could save us from a terrible fate ... that otherwise awaits us in *THE afterlife. What a wonderful feeling it was for me to take my birthright back FROM those theologians ... and to feel WHOLE just as I am ... for the first time in my life ... at age 70. I am 85 years of age now ... and I try to be as kind to others as each situation allows ... knowing that I can't DO better than my best. And one thing I am very thankful for ... is that when I was "religious" ... I never did use words in a bible to accuse others of being sinners ... while suggesting that I had been set free of sin ... by a supposed "savior." From the book … Godless: How an Evangelical Preacher Became One of America’s Leading Atheists by Dan Barker, Richard Dawkins It wasn’t faith that eradicated cancer or AIDS. Science has given us much. What has theology ever provided? Theology has given us hell. The threat of damnation is designed to be an incentive to right action, but this is a phony morality. Humanists think we should do good for goodness’ sake, not for the selfish prospect of reaping individual rewards or avoiding punishment. And ideology that makes its point by threatening violence is morally bankrupt. (Hitler’s horrible ovens, at least, were relatively quick. The torment Jesus promised is a “fire that shall never be quenched.”) Anyone who believes in hell is at heart not moral at all. If the only way you can be forced to be kind to others is by the threat of hell, that shows how little you think of yourself.
I love that Dr. Peterson always takes the time to THINK about the next thing he is going to say. You don’t have to a t so fast just take a second so it makes sense.
Highlights 00:00-03:12 🎯 The script encourages viewers to imagine the kind of life they would have if they could bear their suffering nobly and asks them to write about it for 15 minutes. 03:13-05:28 🤔 It suggests doing the exercise badly because visions and goals can change as one progresses through life, but it’s important to get a rough draft down. 05:29-07:44 😌 The script explores the concept of happiness and how it is often associated with avoiding excessive negative emotions and experiencing enthusiasm and forward movement. 07:45-10:35 🎯 It highlights the importance of setting goals and the link between positive emotions and goal pursuit. It also discusses the negative consequences of not pursuing goals and staying in a miserable situation. 10:36-13:20 😨 The script encourages facing fears and imagining the potential catastrophe of not taking action. It suggests using negative emotions as motivation to push forward. 13:21-15:00 😊 Positive emotions are discussed as the driving force behind motivation and concentration. The script compares the activation of the positive emotion system to the effects of drugs of abuse that stimulate the same system. Key Insights 🎯 Having a vision and goal in life is crucial for motivation and positive emotions. It gives a sense of purpose and direction. 🤔 It’s important to be flexible with visions and goals as they can change over time. The key is to have a rough draft and keep moving forward. 😌 Happiness is not just about avoiding negative emotions but also about experiencing enthusiasm and forward movement. 🎯 Setting goals is essential for positive emotions and motivation. Without a goal, confusion and anxiety arise. 😨 Facing fears and imagining the consequences of inaction can be powerful motivators for change. 😊 Positive emotions play a significant role in motivation and concentration. They make tasks easier to accomplish and provide a sense of fulfillment. 🎯 The positive emotion system is powerful, similar to the effects of drugs of abuse. It is activated in pursuit of goals and gives a sense of meaning and purpose.

Jordan's point about goal-setting is so true when you observe the lives of celebrities or pro athletes after they retire. A lot of them that resort to hedonism are miserable inside despite having the lifestyle that most people could only fantasize about.

Most of what we find meaningful and fulfilling in life involves overcoming hardship by sacrificing immediate delight for a greater potential future reward. A junkie is happy when they're indulging in their substance of choice until the dopamine high ends. People shouldn't be striving for happiness, they should be striving for purpose.

Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.andrew_james
Dr. Peterson, I admire you and your work. I especially admire your strength of character. I always think about what you would do in a situation. My conscience used to have my accent, but now it has a Canadian accent😅.
😄
Love understanding. Through knowledgeable information and using it with careful judgement love and openness towards all . Much love .
Bless you everyone!
The greatest thing he points out is that you yourself are the only person who can change your situation -- and you already have the power to do so. Imagine where you want to be and move forward toward that goal, with purpose, humility, and an open mind.
I'm so grateful that I'm still alive and still have a chance to listen to his speech every single day❤️
I've been through my trials and tribulations like others. We are all individuals in the way that we have our belief patterns. I love learning from Jordan Peterson. He teaches me a lot about my envisioned self. We all have different people that reach us as humans.
Much appreciated Dr Jordan Peterson ever since I started listening to you my life has changed very immensely.
Saw him live a few weeks ago in Richmond Va . Was exactly like the YT videos you see, with out missing a beat. Thank you Dr. Peterson
You know Mr Peterson, I feel like aiming up is just part of it but having something meaningful is also really important. Because sometimes you might be productive but no meaningful purpose. It's like having art without soul.
Thank you so much Dr Peterson...
Everytime I listen to Peterson he always have so many new words which I hear for the first time 😅👍
Go to a dictionary. I’m showing my age here! Lol Anyway I love learning & if I hear new words I have a thirst for what they mean. It also improves my vocabulary!❤️
Thank you very much for this video. It changed my day for the better.
Just wow and full of truth. Could i please have a link to the full lecture?
For myself and the students that support at the school I work at and for tje future students that need your wisdom.
You have changed my way of thinking on so many issues.
Too bad i cant even get my mother to watch even one of your videos. Oh well. Thank you for all that you do.
Thank you Dr. Peterson, my goal is to build my own family and become a father. I'm 25 years old, and I'm ready to be a father at the age of 30.❤
Being Daddy was and is the best job I ever had!
Now continuing to be the best daddy is the role I enjoy most.
Remember to enjoy even the smallest of thing. Remember the naps, the giggling, and the tickle spots.
Best job you will ever have!
@@johndavis7078 I will remember these words you just have written for me. I promise you. Greetings from Uruguay Sir! Next month it's my birthday and I'm turning 26. I'm already less than 5 years from it 😊🙏🏻
Do you want to have kids for yourself or for kids self?
I love that he always puts his finger right into the wound
Jordan Peterson gets through to me. When he speaks I agree with that factually and logically. When i first heard have talked about having a goal and how it creates positive emotion I was blown away. Having goals and meeting them build the dopamine in your brain more and more and it stays there as the baseline. This is the real way out of depression by doing things we have proven that raise the baseline of dopamine in our brains. Things like goals, exercising, eating right the gut brain connection with good gut biome and excellent blood flow rom a healthy heart to feed the brain and body oxygenated blood.
The part from 4:55 really resonates. Incredible way to phrase the need of creating goals and think about your life's choices.
Got to see him tonight in Stl, wearing this exact suit! ♡♡♡ DrJP is just amazing. I love him. It was SO truly awesome hearing him live. Just rows away...if I ever get a 2nd chance, I'm paying to meet him. ❤ Thank you for such an inciteful and memorable night. 2:13
Life is about compromise, it fails you, you adapt, if you flexible you ok, if not you will struggle. Free will is an illusion unless you are ready to perpetually cooperate.
Right on point
Thank you for being here sir, everytime listening you enlightens me more than before and this one is one of those that I will have to re-watch and absorb it thoroughly
Jordan we need you desperately ❤The voice of reason ❤
People who tell the truth with as much kindness as possibible and you are allowed to be as genuine and creative as your potential allows and more, plus contribute without being hindered.
I love your Self-Authoring course! I'm almost done but it's been life changing putting it all down in writing.
This video showed me that I am already on the right way. I think I just have to define a few things you mentioned a little more precisely. Thank you!
I needed to hear this today, thank you Mr Peterson.
Brilliant and truthful explanation. Powerful
Thank you sir! Live it
I love his suits 😅 so eclectic and motivational ❤❤
Thanks, this is great a great talk as usual:)!
This video is great and very useful, be sure to watch until the end. The summary of several books is hidden in this video, this video is worth watching several times
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🌹❤️🌹
that suit is fire Jordan…please continue
One of the life questions never asked is , when all is well with your life , you have a loving wife lovely children and content with work , but still there feels like something is missing something is trying to pull you astray , I think that’s where the I just want to be happy thing comes from , how to remain content with a good life
Perhaps because internal friction provides an opportunity for growth which is uncomfortable?!
Unresolved wounds. Lying to self about any number of things.
Being happy is the journey, always. And the destination is the carrot on the stick 😆
Thank you for being the father figure I never knew I needed, guiding me with wisdom from afar.
Has anyone else found an unexpected mentor online? Let’s share how they’ve impacted our lives!
Thank you for your dedication, you are great.
7:57. Good time stamp to watch and rewatch and rewatch.
You make things very clear for me to see and i appreciate that 🙏
I'm truly grateful for the invaluable insights shared. The author's honesty and wisdom are both eye-opening and inspiring. It's a reminder to embrace life's lessons and make the most of every moment. Thank you to the author for imparting such valuable knowledge.
We all need a Dad like Dr Peterson
What I’d like is to be valued and respected by my family. While I have that from friends, I haven’t felt that since my father died 31 years ago.
Thanks to you i am working ass a hypnose&Regression therapist. Thank you ❤ Judith from the Netherlands
This man saved my life. If you’re reading this Jordan, thank you.
Muchas gracias por tanto querido Jordan.
Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
Professor Jordan Peterson, thank you for being the dad I never had❤❤❤
My internet. Thank you❤❤❤
Humanness thrives on challenge. Being rewarded for providing is a primal joy. Find your limits and push past them. Open up the best version of yourself and treat yourself like someone you love.
Listen ypung people. So much wisdom
What a time to be alive watching this man on UA-cam for free.
Brother, think about your passion. Think about the whys's. Think about your change of narrative, think Bout your focus. Think about the fog. You're a prophet protected by the creator of this universe. Bless you. Consider this . Thanks bro. I love you bro.
Love you jordan Peterson 😊
Thank you that you are there for me
No goals=no positive emotions.
Just amazing,
He helps us to bring jems from ourselves...by deep driving into ourselves
"I just want to be happy" I am so glad I did not listen to this in 2022 bc I would have thought just being happy is unrealistic. It is possible to just be happy. Change the inner emotion to peace and happiness no more depression and anxiety. It is absolutely possible I did it.
Please be my therapist. Ill pay u whatever u want! U r absolutely brilliant. Ur ability to cut straight to the "nut", right thru te symptoms and directly to the cause, then working backwards is exactly how i think. But the "nut" seems to remain hidden so often that it leaves one without clear direction. This message left me with such positive emotion and that fact reinforces what the message imparted-that is "movement towards a goal is happiness". Also, i full agree with the "how will u be in 5 years if u do nothing?" And i also apply that same logic to goals. If u want ur life to be different in 5 years u cant wait to change it in 4 years 364 days from now. Set a goal and immediately put legs on it, keep it in front of ur eyes, moving forward pursuing it even when there are setbacks. And lastly, stay on the lookout for depression if u r prone to it. Its far easier to redirect ur thoughts at the onset than later when ur in the pit. Js, been there, done that. So quick, put down the shovel.
Thank you Dr Peterson 🙏
Love this video. I am just a parent for the 1st time, so I could collect and fix my way day by day because any step I go through will bring a story or a lesson for my child, even though how it badly
Where was this guy when I needed him 20 years ago!
Gaining life experience so he could share his wisdom! 😊
Perfectly said, NO goal = NO life.
Thanks for allowing free speech.
It took me 70 years to change "my life" ... by realizing that religion was "created" by "theologians" ... that hated each other … and whose aim was to steal our birthright of feeling whole ... away from us ... by teaching us that we are born "evil sinners" ... and that only THEIR teachings could save us from a terrible fate ... that otherwise awaits us in *THE afterlife.
What a wonderful feeling it was for me to take my birthright back FROM those theologians ... and to feel WHOLE just as I am ... for the first time in my life ... at age 70.
I am 85 years of age now ... and I try to be as kind to others as each situation allows ... knowing that I can't DO better than my best.
And one thing I am very thankful for ... is that when I was "religious" ... I never did use words in a bible to accuse others of being sinners ... while suggesting that I had been set free of sin ... by a supposed "savior."
From the book … Godless: How an Evangelical Preacher Became One of America’s Leading Atheists by Dan Barker, Richard Dawkins
It wasn’t faith that eradicated cancer or AIDS.
Science has given us much. What has theology ever provided? Theology has given us hell.
The threat of damnation is designed to be an incentive to right action, but this is a phony morality. Humanists think we should do good for goodness’ sake, not for the selfish prospect of reaping individual rewards or avoiding punishment. And ideology that makes its point by threatening violence is morally bankrupt.
(Hitler’s horrible ovens, at least, were relatively quick. The torment Jesus promised is a “fire that shall never be quenched.”)
Anyone who believes in hell is at heart not moral at all.
If the only way you can be forced to be kind to others is by the threat of hell, that shows how little you think of yourself.
I needed this. Thank you Jordan ❤
'Happy is what you feel after ... Christmas dinner'. I agree. ❤
Excellent as always . Thank you .
Just remembered a line that would summarise this : happy life is not ofno struggle. It is a life with meaningful struggle
This man is incredible, God bless him.
Incredible depressing.
God bless him.
Saw internet dad this week live. Inspiring
Thank you.🌸
You have inspired me, given me a plan…I’ve been a bit lost ..
I love that Dr. Peterson always takes the time to THINK about the next thing he is going to say. You don’t have to a t so fast just take a second so it makes sense.
Enthusiastic means to be filled with the Holy Spirit! Wow that’s amazing. I aim to do the things that I feel enthusiastic about.
I always plan as I live
Keep it up Dr P. My life is improved from listening to you, and I appreciate your lectures
