This is it. This is the sign. I'm turning 25 in a month. Dropped out of college in 6 years ago due to anxiety and depression. Never had a job since. Locked myself in my room for those years. Caused so much pain to my parents. This is it. I'll dedicate this month looking for a job as a first step of sorting my life out. Wish me luck.
22 dropped out of uni bcuz of anxiety related issues,working my way back into being a competent fully functional juggernaut of a man,see you there brother 💪🏾
Hope it’s going well brother-keep moving forward!
Show up for yourself every day

Damnn!! Small world
Ian Mccarthy is a huge peterson fan as well. No surprise that lifters gravitate towards this sort of thing.

At 25... My life changed too... all the stuff I told myself I would do since 16-18 years... I STARTED DOING THEM. Made a Routine for it. Nothing is perfect, I could probably be more ''in shape and more efficient'' but I dont let the ''maybe/could be bother me''.... cause I know... Since 25years old... the past 3 years have been BETTER/Stronger/Improvement at ALL LEVEL. I am finally becoming the MAN I dreamed to be... it's all action. I started slow at 25 years old and been building momentum since... (started at 1 pushup x 6.... now over 25 x 6)... studied 30 minutes after work.. now at 2 hours after work every day.... 1h30 gym, 8hours work,2 hours study, 2 hours of ''leisure (cooking included'', a bit of dancing a few times a week, sleep early, wake up early... A new man.... some times I slip but I get back eventually. Overall... I am ABOVE and much more disciplined and focused, sorted out compared to previous 25 years old of life...The child died, the man grew up
Dude, that's inspiring. How did you come up to this? How's it going now?
@@myroninthesky320 can i recommend you wes watson? look him up on youtube. If you listen to what he is saying

The human brain matures at the age of 25. psychology 101
how old are you now?
I hope that all of you who are: about 25, graduated with bachelor's, not very social yet, and feeling sorry for yourself, are still grateful for the position you're in. I didn't start sorting myself out until I was 23 years old. Now I'm 26, and although I feel like I've discovered my purpose and what brings meaning to my life, it's a long road ahead of me and I won't have my bachelors degree until 29. If there's one thing I've learned along the way it's just to let go of self-pity. It's only holding you back.
What's the rush? So you'll be 29,that is still young.
having a bachelors degree does not mean your life is all sorted out.
Nimity Tei Has to learn the hard way lol
Some are...
"Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." 2 Timothy 3:7!
WHY? Because they leave JESUS out!
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." John 14:6!
Time is winding up. All we have is time to live for JESUS! The LORD will give you a PhD if that's the desire of your heart.
"Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart."
Psalm 37:4!
Stipulation? Find all you need in JESUS! Delight thyself! 💓💓💓
Do u have your bachelors degree now? I see it’s been 4 years since u wrote this comment… so u shud be 30 now ..

I'm fuckin' dyin'. He's so great.
Find your brains patterns. You know what habits you'd like to get rid of in your life. So when you see yourself about to indulge the desire to carry out the habit - FREEZE. Observe, notice your emotional state, notice the beliefs that are attached to the emotional state. After a short but meaningful amount of time unfreeze and immediately go do another activity - anything else at all. Eventually you'll find yourself becoming more and more productive the more you freeze, observe, and reactivate.

This is the perfect comment put into words. Emotions have to be caught and analyzed. Otherwise they will run rampant and cause chaos.
This video was so beautiful and up-lifting. I love that he married his childhood sweetheart. Hearing him describe himself as manic in some ways really makes me feel less ashamed of my own manifestations of mania. Thanks for sharing :)
•CRITICAL CONDITION• 👍👍😎
•CRITICAL CONDITION• hi critical! Love your channel
I doubt your mania could ever be that bad to be ashamed of, guy.
I am in love with your face
•CRITICAL CONDITION• sounds like something out of a fictional love story(too good to be true) but hey he deserves it!
I’m 27, about to be 28. I started to feel almost as if I had peaked. My hunger for knowledge and challenges almost seemed to disappear. Peterson has helped me realize that it’s not too late.
I’m in the same boat. 28, got a lot of things figured out in my life but feel like something is missing. Been working to go back to school and challenge myself again. Hope you find the challenge you need and keep that hunger for knowledge alive and well
It’s just the beginning boiz. The only move available is forward. Let’s make the best of it, for our families futures.

@Tony G same
I also had a life light bulb moment at 25 I felt like I already wasted 7 years of my life but it's never to late to start a new
How is it going now?
It’s never too late, it’s never too laaaaate!
I felt the same in a way, nevertheless we have to keep moving forward, no matter what.
That's how I feel at 25
I'm so proud of all of you. You're working on yourselves even when it's tough and helping out your fellow man in the process. I've seen so many people in the comments giving advice to others and it just warms my heart. You're what men should be (from a female perspective): hard-working, kind, and strong. I love all of you.
This made me cry... Beautiful
true, it would be better more people were here. Society messed us all up pretty good. I'm glad so many are still fighting, struggling instead of quitting life in general.
I wish Jordan Peterson became popular at another time. He has so much helpful knowledge to impart on so many people, and it's truly a shame he's been painted as a controversial figure. There are so many people struggling with alcohol abuse in the early 20s and it really hinders one's potential when the brain is still forming. Plus he's one of the most generally wise people I've come across in my many hours of being in and watching lectures from decorated professors.
I think now is the time he is precisely needed in. Without the controversy would he be known by so many?
Sigma I agree, but I also would have benefitted greatly from his advice 4 years ago. I just now am watching his lectures after life had already forced me to learn 90% of the lessons he preaches and basically just watch him to hear someone agree with my own ideology.
I'm a therapist, and I'm primarily listening to his lectures on mental health and treatment. When I first listened to him, I noticed we conceptualize behavior in a similar way, typically reaching to the biological hardware that our consciousness is built upon. Very cool dude, and I hope he doesn't let the limelight pull him away from actually treating mental health instead of moving to solely commentating on the state of affairs.
Obviously didnt affect Jordan Peterson that much hes insanely intelligent...
Modern society wants to keep men docile and placated. Modern feminism wants to keep men on a leash and to treat them like obedient dogs. Is it any wonder why someone with even a modicum of common sense is seen as controversial in this day and age.
"The truth is a terrible thing, but not compared to falsehood." - love this. So true!
I have so much respect for this man. I'm glad that university nonsense happened last year to bring his work and message to the attention of millions. God works in mysterious ways as they say.

Wow. @ 25 I was in the last 2 years of a meth addiction... Doing much better now. =]
Glad you could get over your addiction. I'm currently fighting an alcohol addiction and I am probably at the lowest point in my life. I am determined I will get sober this time. Stay strong brother 👊
@Henry-Bart I was 25 during those 2 years, not the whole time..... What a strange thing to comment on a 2 year old post about.
@Henry-Bart Better & better, thanks for asking.
Amen to that! I'm 25 going on 26. Just got out of the hell last month. Hearing Jordan Peterson does help me alot to get back on the right track. Life still rough but i'm keep rolling forward. Best wishes!
@@kimtoannhan7275 Just stick to the struggle, even if you slip up, get right back into no more, never again. Good luck my dude.
This guy is like a breath of fresh air. Its hard to talk about how you feel all the time, but if you have a family who love you and a few friends, anything is possible.
Wow. Started sorting myself out at the same time. Im 25 with one more semester of college left for my bachelors. Good thing to know Im not as late as I thought I was. I am so glad I found Jordan Peterson. He has helped me improve tremendously.
So how are you now then 5yrs on?
Dropped out of university back in 2017. due to anxiety, panic attacks and general depression. Tried college again a year later in 2018. , the same thing happened. I locked myself in even more until around 2020. I started going to a psychologist. It helped at first. I even got some medication. Even found a girlfriend for a few months. Tried to work, but only lasted for 3 days due to anxiety. It all went bad again. Locked myself in again. Then tried uni for the 3rd time in 2022. and I broke again. Now it's going to be the summer of 2023. I'm 25 years old, no degree, job or girlfriend. I've started going to the gym for the past few weeks. I have gained a lot of weight due to bad habits and staying in all the time. I hang out more and more with my friends. Some of them understand my situatuon, some of them don't. Don't know what or how my life will be going. My parents are getting older and I'm worried what I will do. I have caused them too much pain. The sadness is sometimes unberable. I'm not sucidal, but don't know how it wil be in a few years if nothing changes. I recently went to the same psychologist again. Don't know if it helps. Only thing that helps a bit is praying...
Keep praying...take it one day at a time, one thing at a time. focus on the things you can control and focus less on things you can't control. You're gonna be okay bro....everybody goes through this things in their 20's.
@@Artisan620 Thanks man, I appreciate it 💪🏻
@@jackedpreacher6570I’m 23 about halfway thru my degree and have been worried sick about applying for job interviews and what kind of money I will be making starting out. The best thing is to take small steps to improve yourself. Getting yourself out there may help a lot, look into doing some volunteer work it’s easy to get into and will help you get your foot in the door. I just started doing some on the weekends while in school and after 2 shifts I’ve learned a lot already
I am also 25, I am praying for you, you are not alone. God loves you!
Everyone is doing life for the first time so don’t be so hard on yourself. Life is a miracle
Turning 26 in May and woweee this video resonates with me. Turning 25 was when I really started having a good hard look at where my current trajectory (drinking, drugs, smoking, porn) was taking me. Just started my post graduate studies and hope to become a Clinical Psychologist and business owner. It seems to be around this age that us males start to get our shit together judging by all the other comments in the post. Good luck to everyone!
I'm 27 now, and I had a pretty similar experience when I was in college. I went to a pretty decent school but I was incredibly unhappy there, drowned myself in alcohol and filled my lungs with weed to cope with it and eventually I decided I had to get my act together if I wanted my life to turn out productive. Stopped hanging out with people who were detrimental to my goals, I never quit alcohol or weed fully but barred myself from any consumption on weekdays (as I was still pretty miserable so needed something to get me through the week lol), and made sure I had a dedicated schedule every day to how I was going to get to where I wanted to be. Ended up finding a job for the next semester and took a gap semester off to get some work experience, and eventually transferred to MIT the next year. Got out of college and continued this mindset and I have soared past people my age in the corporate world.
Thank you Dr. Peterson for sharing this message with so many young people, I only wish I could've heard this when I was younger.
And still he was doing way better at 25 than I‘m doing at 27. Damn.
I was lost until 24-25. Studies something I didn't enjoy, didn't have any relationship with girls, had superficial relationship with friends and family, didn't feel any connection to life or anything greater. I thought I was talentless so I didn't even try. I sucked at high school too.
I then decided to change (around 24yo, now I'm 29). I dropped out of college to pursue architecture. I found a philosophy that guides me through life (eastern philosophies to be specific), went vegan, started working out, got disciplined, established a healthy relationship with my emotions, found new, ambitious and spiritually mature friends, found a girlfriend, healed traumas from childhood, started reading a lot (literature, philosophy, psychology, art) etc. Now I'm finishing the final semester in architecture school to get a MD and I'm actually really, really good at what I do. Life is better than ever, and it keeps getting better and better. It was a slow process, I failed many times, still do, but I never gave up.
Just start somewhere, you can do it !!!
I'm 23 and in grad school will finish in two years and start practicing medicine as a PA. I too have a porn addiction and the sexual persuits are clouding my brain when I need to focus on studying medicine. Your video was inspirational. Thank you
normal person "telling the truth is good" Jordan "it's a tissue of lies that will dissolve into chaos" love this guy
25 now but still don’t know what to do. No goals as of now but just saving money, working & working on myself
Respect to everyone in the comments who recognized their problem and dont just blame forces outside of them. Wish you guys the best
2:30 Peterson /fit/ confirmed
I'm 25 now, and this video showing up on my feed is a sign to change.
It's good to hear highly successful people like Jordan talk about times when they didn't have their life together. I'm 21 and I've been as lazy as can be my whole life. When I look at people my age who are incredibly successful, like Jake and Logan Paul, I feel like I am lagging behind. It is comforting to know that most people my age didn't have their shit together either.
I just turned 24 and luckily i have been listening to him since i was 17. when i was 18, launched my 1st business, experienced different cycles but the most incredible time was when i was 20 & 21 when the net-worth of the company moved from 1000$ to 100k$, was getting in better shape. lost focus after that due to clubs, woman, and not very productive friendships. Turned 23 last year and been getting the business and my mind right, just started to see some great results this year...can not wait for 25
What business is this

Don't forget to have some fun too. Before you know it you're 34 like me, and miss the social opportunities, the flirting, the adventures with new friends.....
3 weeks sober from drugs. I got through this deployment and saved some money. We'll get through this
Im 25 and i feel like its too late to get my shit together, so this is really nice to hear that its really not a bad time
You just gave all people in their 20's hope
Really good to hear. I resonate with so many things you say, and over the past year I've realised that my stance has changed from wanting of attainment to realizations of implementation... It's been good to come back to your talks and realise that I've achieved the states and implemented actions that I longed for...
By no means do I have it sussed out, but god damn it feels good to realise and acknowledge progress. You're doing god's work Jordan... Christ/Buddha's teachings were all about sharing profound teachings of bettering yourself and the people around you as a result. You truly do have a voice that is heard.
I haven't taken the Big 5 Personality test, but I think I'm high in Agreeableness and Neuroticism for sure. I get random mood swings out of no where for instance. But anyway, I appreciate you Dr. Peterson. I may not have my act together at the moment, but at least you showed me what I SHOULD do to ward off the inevitable suffering we all go through.
I took one the other day and scored 80% in neuroticism and 20% in extraversion :/
22 , i promise myself i will change, i was numb and didn't even realise last 4 years passing..by.
I'm like a ship in the middle of the sea, i followed others, till now never cared about my Dreams because i was alone, Then we got seperated they went on their own now i'm in this place where i don't know where to go and in trying to play safe i risked my time and ended up in the same place again.
I'm gonna explore every direction possible and Do it myself even if no one is around!!
Hello, Patrick here from Mind Life Flow (Mindfulness) - another good video and advice from Mr Peterson. He provides honest and practical information that can help so many people!!
I was actually doing pretty well until I finished school. Had good grades (I won several awards, participated in maths and sports competitions for my school), a good social life, I spoke 5 languages and I had gotten in TU Delft: a top (Aerospace) engineering university. Sure, there were still some problems and things I wanted to improve. I was still immature, I stopped studying a lot when I was 17 and this affected my predicted grades (I did IB with Maths, Chem and Physics HL so you can't slack off) but I managed to pull myself together and achieve good final grades. In hindsight, my penultimate year of senior/high school was a massive red flag. I'd gotten in my first major relationship in December 2014 and I couldn't balance my life out anymore. Started drinking, going to parties and I'd hang out with my gf every weekend. I couldn't control myself. Anyway, I took my first year of uni at TU Delft too lightly and got kicked out because I was 1 exam short (roughly 50% of first years get kicked out - you need 45 credits out of 60 to pass the year). TU Delft was my dream university. It still is but it's too late now. That hurts. I stuck with Aerospace Eng and I chose to go to the Polytechnic University of Turin - not a bad uni in itself. This was in 2017. It's 2022 and I still need to get my bachelors. I started my Masters in September 2021 because I only needed to pass one more exam. I still haven't passed it. It's depressing. I'm depressed. I lost three of my grandparents in the last 2 years, my gf of 3 years dumped me and I haven't spoken to my dad in over a year. One of my friend's father just passed away a few weeks ago and it scares me. He is going to graduate in two weeks - life is really cruel. I already regret not studying enough because none of my grandparents will ever see me graduate. If only I had studied harder. I'm afraid the same thing can happen to my parents. Moving on, I want to graduate in september and complete 4 masters exams. I hope I can finish in December 2023, I'll work hard for it, I have to. I want to speak to my dad and hug him. I started working out in November and have made some gains. I'm going to start going to the gym in October and I'll finally be able to cook my own food (I was living in a student accommodation but I'm moving out in a couple of days) so I should be able to get better results. My Year 5 teacher told me I was a "man of 1000 talents." I just want to go back to being that happy, intelligent and successful me.
Human expectations are insane, man. I don’t what else to tell you because I’ve got plenty of places I want to make it “up” to as well, but I hope you can find a way to cut yourself some slack. If you’re putting so much pressure on yourself for the greater good of humanity-godspeed to you. Otherwise, maybe lightly surrender your mind to the fact that our cups can never be filled by knowledge or a strong drive to prove ourselves to others. I’ve seen it attempted in others and most recently myself; I’m very dissatisfied with the results. That’s not a reason to stop striving, of course. But it’s a way to accept failure. We all fail. Maybe at different degrees that are determined by our societal origins, but still fail. No one should expect any different from us, honestly. We didn’t ask to be flung into existence. We are born deer in the headlights of a vehicle that takes way too long to hit us. Anything extra should be considered a blessing. Kudos for already being a blessing to this world with your effort. And that’s regardless of outcome.

My birthday is tomorrow im turning 23 now.. seen many people in life pass away or just become distant from such close relationships. This video really resonated with me. But of course there is a clear and precise difference from feeling motivated right now after watching a video on UA-cam and maintaining the integrity and propulsion to keep at it for long periods of time. Kudos to Peterson for being realistic about the natures in life, and being brutally honest with truth.
28 currently getting my life in order. Just gotta stay positive and focused
I just recently turned 23 and I'm beginning to have the same sort of mindset. I need to figure it out before I leave the Marines so I can stay afloat in the world.
I love this man he has helped me in various areas of my life thanks sir... The world will always be grateful to you ... Legend
Who here is 25 this year?
I'm 27 and it feels like I've regressed since I graduated college. I thought college was the path to success... well, nearly 4 years out of college and I'm still struggling. Between family issues, overconsumption of masturbation and porn,/hookups/dating apps, job hunting and more, my life has been on a downward trend since. I do have a few things going on for me though - like no debt to my name and a generous savings account. I plan on going back to my old job (the one I left for my current job, which was a HUGE mistake) and move out, so that will be good. I plan to stick with that job for another year or so, meanwhile get some certifications and training in some compliance health/safety courses, so I can actually appear more marketable. I just feel so small and behind. Majority of my college classmates are traveling, have stellar jobs, married, own houses, etc. - I haven't achieved any of these yet. Hopefully one of those will be achievable this year, I have no idea. I'm not religious at all, but at this point I'm praying for a miracle.
Your problem is that you seem to be comparing yourself to other people rather than yourself. This is a recipe for disaster and will never lead to a positive outcome. You need to kick this habit out the door.
When you put yourself in proper perspective, you are still better off than probably more than half of the population of Earth. Think about all the people who never even got an opportunity to go to college, or those who did and graduated with 100k in debt, or the ones who never got a job from their degree.
In my own case, I'm 27 now and just starting my undergrad after having spent the last 10 years in deep depression filled with alcohol and drug abuse, and video game addiction. If I compared my life to yours at 27, you certainly seem to have it much better than me. The thing is, if I did do this comparison, it acconplishes nothing but negativity. It gets me nowhere. It doesn't help me achieve my goals. Now, if I compared myself now to who I was 5 years ago, well, that would be a more productive comparison because I get to see the progress I have made over the last 5 years.
Point is, there will always be people who are better off. The same peers you mentioned that have houses and families, they probably feel the same way as you, but thinking about another scale of success such as those 27 year olds who made millions of dollars from a business venture they started when they were 21, or those that found instant fame in the internet and now own multiple million dollar houses. There is ALWAYS a bigger fish swimming around. Don't get lost comparing yourself to them when you really don't have to.
I just turned 26. Im in dept and im healing from a very cruel and toxic relationship o was in and created with myself. I quit my job and I’ve found another one. Tomorrow my interview. This job, will open doors for me and help me fulfill my dream. BUT I REFUSE TO MAKE THIS NEW JOB MY LIFE. I need to stop fixating what everyone else is doing and focus on what I want.
I am recovering and finally getting real medical help from years and years of untreated schizophrenic episodes and other disorders.
It’s taking awhile, but I’m starting to feel hopeful!
I’m 26 now and did excellent as Valedictorian in high school, but neglected my mental health tons… And it’s backfired, especially during my college years & ended up dropping out. The consequence years (6 years) didn’t do too well with schizoaffective (bipolar type) developing.
Many of my mental health problems at the time damaged my potential for personal business attempts & career proficiency.
-I don’t feel as resentful and hopeless anymore.
Seeing someone else able to turn their life & low points around near this age gives me hope that I can turn things around & continue to grow & live meaningfully.
I’m super thankful for this story! And I want to change and grow for the better for the myself & the ones who care about me.
I've tried to give up smoking a few times but always gone back to it. About a month ago I came to the same conclusion as you described in this video - if I'm going to quit smoking, I have to quit drinking too. So that's what I've done. Good to hear it worked for you!
I’m 28 and just figuring things out, there’s no time frame gents. Embrace the journey, don’t compare your journey to that of others and welcome discipline into your life, you’ll go far.
Keep your chin up brother and just keep putting one foot in front of the other and you’ll get where you want to be. Love bro ❤️
If I had seen this video a few years back, a imaginary Peterson would have knocked inside my head from time to time to tell me to get back on track. What a glorious man. I'm reading his book atm, it's what I needed so badly.
I am 25, with a good job, graduated, play football and rugby, learning the language of the country I've moved in, but still can't find true happiness. There are women in my life but I still struggle to find good ones. That's why I am consuming JBs. Also i do smoke and drink but only when I know I have the time to rest
Sorting yourself out = writing a book, publishing more essays than any phd student ever, and taking a few cycles of steroids. Got it.
Where did he say he took steroids?
Don't forget to clean your room.
lol those are nice interpretation skills... sorting yourself out means to stop doing that which makes your life worst and start moving towards your self defined goals in life
225 lbs on the bench and 30 lbs of muscle is achievable for a young man in 1.5 years
Clean your room and lift some weights
But Peterson is a fucking fool. He thinks magic is real and he has an invisible friend. He's a living joke.
im 31 and i feel like a bum now
Take ADHD drugs. It'll drain your soul but build up your superficial characteristics that people consider successful.
Fred Hampton's Ghost haha I take adderall on a daily basis and I never thought about what you just said but it's true to a certain extent. But I'm curious: what do you mean with "drain your soul"?
JP455 hmm thats not how I experience it. I did with ritalin (felt like a computer when I used it) but not adderall. I'm just a little calmer.
it also deoends onthe dosis. taking (tomuch) ritalin made me antisocial to an extend
I'm 32 in May and my life's a mess
Suffering holds valuable and embodied lessons. If you don't see the lesson plan right now, just give it some time. You will have an edge in this world if you seek truth and allow it to humble you. It always sorts itself out when you let truth guide you.
I'm waiting to see my next lesson in this moment, but these observations and guiding principles hold deeply true for me when I reflect upon the past 6-8 years of my life.
It's amazing he succeeded in life, living in such a bleak place, and drank so much. Clearly, a very strong person, mentally.
28 years old. Bought a house, have a well paying job even while i dropped out of college multiple times but drink, chase woman and party myself to blackout every single weekend. Probably because my job is boring and life is too safe and quiet? Seriously contemplating leaving the Netherlands and move to southeast asia and turn my whole life in an adventure...
D Gou He must want "Ladeeboyeez"
Grumpy Leprechaun think he's interested in the prostitution aspect
Just turned 24, I finally found the career for me, I wasted so much time with another one that was never for me, I never felt stimulated by it, I feel like I didn't learn anything. I regret it everyday even tho I get nothing out of it, and I know I'm lucky that I found the right one, even if I think it's late, some people never do

Thats funny because i discovered jordan when i was 25 and at my lowest, thats when i started trying to correct my life.
I knew what I wanted to do at 19. But the country I live has almost no opportunities in what I decided to do so I had to decide for other things in order to earn a living. I became a psychologist, I like it, it's a good career and Dr. Peterson reminds me why I liked it in the first place, but the feeling of not doing what I wanted to do was still there. I'm 26 right now and I just finished sorting my life out and deciding what I want to do in the reality I live in. So I'm starting to make those things happen right now and I'm feeling great.
Hey, I’m curious, what do you want to do ?
" I benched 225 " , thats kinda badass
Hello Mr. Peterson. I️ just had to take a second to let you know, which I’m sure you do already, just aren’t pompous but YOU are just as if not smarter than the people’s lessons you teach. I️ wish I️ had that connection, well how to use it in a honest way anyway, long ago. It truly is scary when we understand psychology, from what we know anyways! You’ve inspired me to stop thinking of mental health issues I’ve seen plague so many of us and to get involved in changing the ways we handle that entire field. Your teachings like many before are wonderful. When you get it, YOU get it! Much love n respect to you.

Well said.
I wish all men a year filled with great energy, strong willpower and pure happiness. 💪 💪
He spewed so much insights in just 5 mins while casually talking on a live chat. Damn! he's like a gatling gun of wisdom.
...the voice inflections, the smoking, your (teaching) profession (alas no chalk) makes me think you should get an advance screening for your larynx...
I'm a 23 yo woman, currently in the 7th year of the normally 4 years in Electrical Engineering Uni, and have left a few classes & thesis & a 6 month practical application to get my bachelor's degree. It's a huge mountain to cross. Plus recovering from severe mental illness & losing my best friend that caused a relapse. I don't know if I want a family, what I want to do in life and how, and the clock is ticking. It's terrifying.
I feel like he’s talking to me, I’m 25 in 2 weeks, I’m out of shape, unhealthy, severely depressed with a lot of bad habits. Last week before I seen this video I started to improve my diet, I don’t only eat healthy but I’ve started eating 3 stable meals with fruit and vegetables (I rarely ate fruit before) that’s why I think this video speaks to me. I’m really trying man, I am
This really resonates with me.
This is the sign, I am 25 and it's time for a change! We all gonna make it!
He's so true about lying. Bravo!
And you never sin.
it might be that she had a great person to tell the truth to. many of us dont have that comfort.
So cute how he has known his wife since such a young age! It took me a long time to learn about real commitment in relationships and the hard work it takes to keep a real and mature relationship going. I used to think that it was supposed to always be some sort of romantic comedy copy. Thats what watching too much shitty tv does to you haha.
I just love to listen to this guy. What a intellectual powerhouse.
this is awesome to hear from a man like him. wow
I’m from the same town as him, probably the most famous person from here
By the end of this year I will be in pipeline to become a PJ. I'll come back and see this. Regret is hell. Speaking to myself.
This man right here. This man represents the best of humanity.
1:44 something you don't see everyday, jordan peterson's laugh
I turning 23 in 3 days and this is something I really needed to hear. Thanks youtube
Am 25 now, saving this video will come here with an update every year. Using this as my reference. I just want to make it that's all tired of this lazy me.
Knowing he was nowhere near perfect( not that any can be perfect) then is comfort, make me feel optimistic
I’m 23 and glad I seen this
I like seeing Jordan laugh I wish he could enjoy himself more in everyday stuff like this
I am 25. I smoked weed for 5 years in a row. In my past I was only running for couple of months and also visited gym for few months but i was never in a good shape. I have back pains and problems with social skills. I am afraid of confrontation (such as psychological and physical). I was abusing nicotine and caffeine. I was severely depressed all the time for few years since my 20 y/o. I broke up with my girlfriend, who actually motivated my to do a lot of improvements in my life due to my lies. She was always fair with me.
Two and a half weeks ago i quitted weed and started doing simpliest thing i can do - push-ups. From 15/day to over a 100/day in a month. I've got a raise at my job and I am planning to ask more. I started visiting psychiatrist and fixing my destructive behaviour.
At the same time i found a lot of valuable information in Jordan Peterson speech and i realised that i want to be a man who my father never was. I stopped complaining about how hard my life is and started trying to prove my old self wrong.
I wish only good to all the people out there, who is struggling but still going. You got this!
25 is still young, and youre allowed to have fun, there is no age thats the wrong age to decide when you wanna try something new and wake up to yourself, its your life, stop feeling guilty and take it at your own pace.
In that case I'm lucky for realizing that I've got to keep my shit together in such a young age thanks to Dr. Peterson on helping me figure out what I truly want in life he's really a good father figure I didn't have.
I saw a couple of small clips of Jordan. Don't know why, but I feel like he is going to greatly influence me (!) ...
I'm probably a little bit mean, but it feels good to hear that this man was like that at 25. It makes me think that there is still some potential for me.
This man's life will someday get adopted into a movie, I'm calling it.
Here We Go
Simply beautiful. Bless you sir.
Respect Peterson 💯
23!!! Wow im trying to get my act together at the same time JP started doing it. That's crazy.
He is in his 50s and dealing with a xanax addiction... What the fuck do you mean he got his life together at 25? He will be 60 less than 5 years from now and he still doesn't have his life together today... So much for the clean your room shit.
sorted him self out at 25 . also dis his phd at 25
wtf???
I’m 22 and feel like I’m so far behind. Reassuring to know I’ve got ample time.

I just turned 23 last month, I haven't had a job (my first one) since about a year or two ago, I had 4 previous jobs that only lasted 1 or 2 days, dropped out of high school in 11th grade and I just sit at home in my moms house all day. No friends, college, hobbies, real interest or skills, so I really don't know what to do with myself or what will happen to me. So I guess if you think you're doing terrible, just be glad and grateful you aren't me
On a similar path. 25 in 6 months and I’ve just started living.
