➤➤Transcript (partial):
There’s this idea in Jungian psychology called the circumambulation. Jung had this idea that you had a potential future Self, which would be, in potential, everything that you could be. It manifests itself moment to moment in your present life by making you interested in things. The things that you’re interested in are the things that would guide you along the path, and lead you to maximal development.
It sounds like a metaphysical idea-or a mystical idea, even. But it’s not. It’s really a profoundly biological idea. The idea is something like, ‘well, you’re set up so that you’re automatically interested in those things that would fully expand you as a well-adapted creature.’ There’s nothing radical about that idea. What else could possibly be the case? Unless there’s something fundamentally flawed about you, that is what the situation would be. It’s kind of interesting to think about how that would be manifest moment to moment, but the idea is something like, ‘well, your interest is captured by those things that lead you down the path of development.’ Well, that better be the case.
Ok, so that’s fine. There’s some utility in pursuing those things that you’re interested in-that’s the call to adventure, let’s say. The call to adventure takes you all sorts of places. The problem with the call to adventure is, what the hell do you know? You might be interested in things that are kind of warped and bent. Often it’s the case that, when new parts of the people manifest themselves-and grip their interests, say-they do it very badly and shoddily. So you stumble around like an idiot, when you try to do something new. That’s why the fool is the precursor to the saviour, from the symbolic perspective: you have to be a fool before you can be a master, and if you’re not willing to be a fool, you can’t be a master.
It’s an error-ridden process, and that’s also laid out in the Old Testament stories. The first thing that happens to all these patriarchal figures-when God kicks them out of their father’s house, when they’re like 84-is that they run into all sorts of trouble. Some of it’s social, some of it’s natural, and some of it’s a consequence of their own moral inadequacy. So they’re fools. But the thing that’s so interesting is that, despite the fact that their fools, they’re still supposed to go on the adventure, and they’re capable of learning enough-as a consequence of moving forward on the adventure-that they straighten themselves out across time. It’s something like that.
The circumambulation that Jung talked about was this continual circling, in some sense, of who you could be. You might notice, for example, that there are themes in your life. When you go back across your experiences, you kind of have your typical experience, that sort of repeats itself. There might be variation on it, like a musical theme, but you’re circling yourself, and getting closer to yourself, as you move across time. That’s the circumambulation. Remember that for a second, because we’ll go back to it.

@David McKee It said mormon. Not, moron.
@Tiktaalik Ease off the fumes bud. You are acting rather irrational and overly emotional. Perhaps you would be so kind as to present any tangible evidence to back such claims, rather than throw a tantrum.

"that's why people stay with the devil they know, rather than finding the devil they don't know."
Damn that hit deep
The last 50 years of history suggest people rejecting the devil they know, without knowing what to replace it with. We reject God and replace God with an implicit faith in government "leaders."
Jordan Peterson is the father we all needed
Nick Portillo aww
I do do agree, a great mentor

Our Father, who art on UA-cam
Father is in heaven. Jordan is just another great messanger of our times. Read the Bible: everything is in there. Jordan is saying this all the time. He just explaining this to us for we should be very greatful. Good luck for you all on your journey.
As a perfectionist this hit home hard. It prevents me from attempting anything I know I'm not fully capable of completing without fault. That may be fine in the workplace (most of the time) but in social situations where failure is a given it just arrests any kind of emotional development. I'm a 13 year old in the shape of an adult. Being a perfectionist in life is NOT a good thing.
After working on my imperfect perfectionism for six decades I may have some insight. ** Sometimes it's actually fear. The way to overcome fear is to do it, Peterson says so too. Despite plenty of dating rejections and disappointments I am God-blessed with my wife of 35 years. **attainable excellence is excellence nonetheless. I got good grades at a state college. I was a pilot but not a fighter pilot. I've f'ed up at times but also averted a crash and saved lives. **A reputation as a slow computer programmer but also told: "I don't care because the quality is so good." **Learn to cook a couple of things well. I make a darn good Ruben sandwich and chocolate chip cookie. **It's always easier when you let yourself have fun doing it. **Small victories are very satisfying and motivating.
dooovde
Check out the Enneagram type 1 (it’s an ancient personality typing). In health, the perfectionist can be good. Trust me, I get it.
Fear has a funny way of impressing us with things we don't appreciate. It makes monsters out of ordinary people and animals. It builds mountains out of mole hills.
I've yet to try something I was afraid of trying and not find it considerably less painful than I'd expected. More often, I've found a hidden appreciation for the thing I was afraid of trying. At the very least, I've found (or cultivated) a dutiful respect for the other people who do the thing I was afraid to try.
Perfectionism... tends more to be an excuse. Of course you're going to screw it up before you get really good at it. BUT it's not going to screw itself up either so you can just start out good at it.
AND just for the record, I've hidden behind "perfectionism" too. It's a human frailty. We often rationalize when we shouldn't. We're often lazy out of the abject horror of wrecking an otherwise stellar(?) reputation... but is that reputation so stellar?
Probably not. At the very least, it's probably not as stellar as we like to think. We are (after all) usually the engineers of our own disasters. BUT if we don't put in the practice, we can't get "good" at anything. ;o)
You cant do something hard and complex perfect the first time.Noone can.If you're not willing to be a fool you'll never be a master.So prepare yourself,you'll be made fun off, you'll feel inadequet,People will hurt you.But if you stick to it for a long time with patience and persistance the taunting will become applause.
knowledge that perfection is impossible to reach does not mean failure is guaranteed, everything is flawed in the world, true perfection does not exist, the idea of perfection itself is a human construct created by society so that we always have something to aspire to be, our idea of perfection constantly changes when we reach what we previously thought to be perfect, but be aware that there's no such thing as mastering something completely, acknowledging that your knowledge no matter how much you have, is just a drop in the bucket compared to what the world offers is the key to acquiring more knowledge, because if you believe you've mastered something you're ignoring the fountain of knowledge that awaits you, all you have to do is go after it
"Enlightenment is punctuated by intermittent catastrophes"
Elaborate please
@@inhouseadmin9192 You will have a bunch of horrible things happen to you as you try to become wise. Mainly because of successive failures. But eventually you do become wise.
@@inhouseadmin9192
Everyone starts out innocent and full of potential. During these moments of naive purity, we pursue our goals with a clear mind, and strong convictions with little to no distractions.
As we grow older, lige circumstances affect us more often, and with more intensity. We come into contact with more people and scenarios that challenge us, stress us, distract us, traumatize us, change our way of thinking. Thes we become scared, distrustful, hurt, bitter, etc etc. The longer we live, and the more people we interact with, the more exposed to distractions we become.
But if we overcome all of those, we will eventually reach a form of enlightenment. It might even be necessary to have overcome all those distractions and challenges to reach enlightment.

What a great saying, Thank you.
Thank u
Wow!
"Even if you had the best idea, in your incomplete form, the probabilty that you see it as an oprtunity is zero".
The best phrase of all the times.
can you elaborate please?
Jordan Peterson is his own man. A real inspiration and I freely admit articulates what I feel but can not find the words to say.
It's hard work to articulate things
Well, Nass, you articulated quite well, I think, Dr. Peterson's striving to develop his thinking and individuated, nuanced speech. He oftentimes utilizes his public communications (and tactful showmanship, indeed!), to avoid overintellectualizing, thereby bypassing alienating eager individuals, while at once incorporating that which may be, across all cultural, moral, and ethical boundaries readily identifiable through emotionally-based, extremely potent explanations and point of view; these viewpoints extoll explanations, I think, remain wholly or near-entirely neglected by academics.
Many academics like Dr. Peterson without, I easily admit, any personal knowledge or awareness thereof said types -- are probably, and understandably, unwilling to meet those who've not necessarily 'earned' or 'pay for' access to what Peterson, in contrast, has become over the years, and is becoming even still; A, as you first said Nass, "his own man." Well said. Very well stated, I think!
Warmest regards to you and thank you for your input. If you feel, you will inevitably think, evidenced by your statements above, so finding the words will become easier and easier once you delve more and more into point-counterpoint, various (mystical, or non-mystical) paradoxes, linguistics, mathematical modeling, etc. Really: Anything you wish to engage in. I wish you the best of luck, which I do genuinely mean! I hope you have a good day, Nass, and I really appreciate your thought-provoking exclamations abovestated regarding Dr. Peterson. Your expressive honesty and highly perceptive abilities, which you most probably maintain all the time, will serve you well; so why not others, too?
The pressure to articulate that you have no words for, pressures you to seek how to. We are all in a state of change, be it in our outside us.
Jordan Peterson has been the most influential person to me in the last 3 years
@Psychonaut Well, I only admire him more now knowing that.
@Psychonaut and you have such a wonderful and put toghether life that use your time to start agressive discussions whit poeple you dont know. I see... If you reply one more time let me tell you that this is the last of my responses. You can go trying to be clever to another place.

You have to be a fool before you can be a master.
It's been almost 5 years I've wanted to leave the life I was living here in Belgium. Some called it successful as I climbed the professional ladder quite fast but I couldn't feel satisfied. Now I left and sold everything and I two weeks I'm flying to Bogotá where I bought a bike to tour South America. I think that if I had seen those videos earlier I wouldn't have waited that much
Did you buy a triumph 650 or a Harley Davidson ? I hope you have the most amazing Adventures !!!
@@lindabarnett4353 i bought a Royal Enfield classic 500. I didn't go far as you could expect with the current situation
How are you doing now?
@@Edu-hh9uk I'm currently in Leticia Colombia, just finished a 4 days trip in the jungle, heading back to Medellin where I plan on staying 😊
@@akpolska YOOOOO I LIVE IN MEDELLIN would like to here you'r story what part of town do you live in=?
"...even if the perfect opportunity manifests itself to you in your incomplete form the probability that you would recognise it as the perfect opportunity is zero. You might even think it's the worst possible idea that you might have heared of anywhere, highly likely.....and so you can take these tentative steps on your pathway to your destiny and you can assume you do it badly and that's really usefull because you don't have to beat yourself up because it's really easy to do it badly which is a lot better than doing nothing and rotting at home..."
Give it your best shot, have a good go, nothing ventured nothing gained, learn by your mistakes. Heaven knows, I've done it all & continue to do so. Life is good.
my motto is you've only failed when you give up! Peterson in all his glory. I wish him all the best.
I give myself permission to fail.Then I will become successful.
All the running away from myself just brought me back. Ite been so interesting responding to life differently. Not trying to control, its taken away alot stress. Accountability has shown me what i need to work on. Its aided in healing all the way back to childhood. We can not move forward until we heal different versions of ourselves and truly accept where we are.
One of the most disciplined, brilliant minds nailing the path to success. Don't miss this entire message.
I have a very short attention span and I’m easily distracted but when I hear Jordan Peterson speak.. I’m dead silent and not moving, my eyes are locked on the screen, I get a very serious facial expression, I listen carefully and ignore everything else. It’s incredible.
@Psychonaut Yes. His attention is selected by JP's words.
@Psychonaut Sure, but that's CHOOSING. He said he automatically REACTS when he hears JP speak.
meditate, no-fap, clean your room. Makes it easier to focus
@Psychonaut if you can not focus, maybe it just does not interests you at all. not everything ppl say its valuable is really valuable.
@Psychonaut Or maybe he has ADD or ADHD? He said he's easily distracted. We dont know his situation.
Perfectionists need to watch this. Make mistakes. Take risks. Attempt.
Very important information for 2020! Hope all had a blessed holiday
Indeed..
Just brought a lot of energy into my new year.
"The difference between a wise man and a fool is that the wise many realizes he is a fool, then adapts to the situation."
"The third you're full of faults, doesn't mean you have to stop; and the fact that you're full of faults, doesn't mean you can't learn" -- Jordan Peterson. Good quote. So true, we're not born experts. Back when I was a kid; there was a saying, "Practice makes perfect".
This vid made me realize that i can never be "good" enough and that it actually a good thing. You can learn something perfect it, but you'll always have something to learn. You'll be always a babbling kid in some areas, you just gotta take action in it and improve on it and then start over and over again, still having something to learn. It chills me to bones and prevent me to overthink.
Sadly, I didn’t figure his out until I was in my mid 40’s. I wish I had a Jordan Peterson when I was a kid.
If you’re young right now, LISTEN TO THIS GUY.
He’s got a good heart, and he’s super smart. He’s saying what’s right, and you don’t hear that much these days, especially on UA-cam or Twitter.
So from what I understand, trial and error is vital to become experienced, so it's necessary to grow.
Thanks again Mr Peterson. I may make stupid decisions in life but I'm smart enough to hear you out. Cheers!
And thank you for the advice on the spiritual awakening. I had no idea what I was getting myself into! It’s like I had to kill off at least a hundred me’s that didn’t serve me. Today is a much better day. 😇 always choosing joy.
Thank you sir. You give so many people Hope. A true god send
This is so... GENIUS. I cannot believe it. Especially the last part. I have watched a looot of JP clips including this one. But then you forget about them and then return here when you feel completely lost again and fall in old patterns. So the last few weeks I've been thinking about what I'm doing wrong and I ignore the JP clips in my feed, because "I already watched them so apparently they don't work". But then I click anyway and then I get my answer in those last couple of minutes; THE FACT THAT YOU'RE FULL OF FAULTS DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO STOP. AND IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T LEARN.!! I have to remember that in fact I'll most likely fail often and horribly in the beginning especially.
Your timing with this exact video and message is so on point! Thanks for this video and best wishes to you on the new decade!
Peterson is reminding us of the old and forgotten "Man" path!
Love seeing this a few days before 2020!
All the best 2020,may the best of this year be the worst of next year.
I'm so thankful this guy exists!
So, do badly every day and enjoy every minute of your journey towards achieving the unreachable goal of perfection.
The mantra of every (great) artist.
Exactly what I needed before leaving this decade and entering 2020.
Knowing what you now know, do you still feel the same way?
"The Fool is the Precursor to the savior." I'm simply lost for words... Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
Thank you Mr. Peterson. You have no idea how much you have helped me in my journey! Everything you are saying here is Exactly what I am going through right now! God sent this video to me this morning, I just know it!! And I am in a bad relationship and working my way out of the hell! The Lord assured me that I would be saved and I want you to know that you were one of the people in that helped me create the relationship I have now with God. So thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! 😭🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️ God bless you and your beautiful family! I really hope I get to meet you someday.
Thank you Dr. Peterson.
I love listening to Jordan Peterson speak.
I needed that! Almost 50 and started taking piano lessons and the fact that it felt I was not improving cause of doing it so badly I almost quit. This lecture really puts things back in perspective. When you attempt something new you will overshoot and mess up badly in the beginning, but that is the way to mastery of anything in life. Willingness to look and feel like a fool attempting something new and worthwhile and realising that the failures and mistakes really are forms of improvement as you seek a worthy goal or ideal
I'm nearly 36 and have been waiting for the right idea to fall upon me, I've enrolled at university to do a psychology degree, I'm interested in health and mental illness, I don't know exactly where I am going but I am walking on the path, I'm aiming at a star which is to be maybe a therapist, maybe my aim will change, but I'm walking towards it, rather than thinking "I don't know what I want to do with my life" which I have been doing for the last 15 years.
Keep on walking, keep on gaining knowledge and experience. Put all your skills to work since you never know what combination of skills and aptitudes will create the profession you want. Good luck to you.
@@MasteryOrder thank you
So much wisdom in such a short video
True perfectionism is not what many say of being afraid of failure, it is being ready and willing to fail for the sake of achieving perfection.
since I discovered that such a mind exists, I have deleted all my songs and replaced them with this man's talks. I can proudly say he is my favorite artist
You like Akira The Don then? (Look it up. JBP Wave)
Good deeds 🙌💯
Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly…watch a child learning to walk :-).
Thank you! This was a really good example.
This is one of the best of Jordan B. Peterson.
I admire this speech
Learn to read music- I have attempted and failed many times... I'm only keeping myself from doing it because of fear of failure. In the back of my mind, I know I will succeed because there is the nagging thought that success is possible even though millions of failed attempts lie ahead. Thank you Jordan Peterson, we all thank you.
Well damn this sure explains the trail of absolutely catastrophic decisions I have made in the last 37 years of my life.... but hey at least I have returned to University to finally finish my engineering degree as I promised myself to do long, long ago...
I can proudly say that, you are my Guru Dr. Jordan Peterson...long live my guru.
I have adhd and I try to learn to organize my day in a calendar. It went well for two days and today I screwed up big. This video was that I needed to watch to gain perspective
I've watched this video once 3 weeks ago and I can't stop thinking about it
"Nothing is better than something pathological" Thank's dude, I'm the best I knew it !
Providence. Grace upon me. I needed this right now like a man dying of thirst needs water to live a minute longer and longer after that. This saved my life. Thank you!
This was really impactful, JP.
I absolutely loved this ♡ Thank you
Truly, profoundly.... amazing, just utterly amazing. I needed this. Thanks.
What was profound about it?
I can’t begin to articulate how much JP has helped/improved my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Jordan Peterson videos are the only videos i click the like button before the play button.
This is extraordinarily profound.
I really like this man. How the MSM can paint him in a negative way I can't understand. Shame shame shame on those who malign good people for gain.
I agree. They don't like how perfectly he can articulate their wrongdoing.
makes me feel better about traveling the country with no real plan in sight, but ironically the vision of what i want keeps getting clearer
I needed this, thank you.
10:10 that's why people stay with the devil they know rather than looking for the devil they don't know.
Thank you For the reminder that it is good to take a step unsure as it may be and learn that never take a chance
Mr. Peterson is right on. Sort of goes with the saying I saw years ago. By anonymous. ‘ One who attempts the absurd Shall achieve the impossible’
Every time I need to hear this it comes up through auto play, a reminder that it all has a purpose; I am continuing to circle who I could be! It feels like a fundamental truth, and it helps me with acceptance and learning what I have needed to. Part of that learning was the letting go of things that no longer have a place in nurturing or teaching me. Thank you 🙏

Hope you are well
What a great message and very much akin to the stories of Christmas and the dawn of the new year. I wish everyone well on their journey of rebirth as we move onwards into the new year!
This man is my Hero.
Jordan's voice is calming and yet aggressive
What this guy is saying is more important than you think. There is a deeply embeded fear of failure that is holding back a lot of people nowadays. In reality, this fear of failure is because we perceive huge negative consequences in failure because of the way we were raised and the faulty values we learned in childhood. In reality, we have to let ourselves fail, like, really, nothing bad is gonna happen 99% of the time is this pursuit. Let yourself fail so you can move forward, become completely okay with it instead of living a life of pretenses. It is such a relief and eventually you will get what you want.
The best and most practical motivational speech I've ever listened to.
I really needed this.
Time to move out.
get into the desert.
get a job.
get structured again.
so i can see the promised land.
wish you well
What
If you do this process he describes enough it becomes a skill in the greater picture. Ultimately it is the skill of improvisation, a profound form of play vital to liberation and a beautiful life. Improvising is one of the top reasons I was able to save my life and liberate from abuse when I was 15-17. Surrender to the path. Learn surrender and improvising and you will discover gateways to healing, enlightenment and creation. Beautiful video with some of Jordan’s best laid out advice.
Thank you! Jordan Peterson..
This man is holding my head above the water
At 23 I was selling drugs and living a life of impulsivity, with no urge to live or any purpose... 25 now, sober and entrepreneur. Plans and goals to a transcendent value above me, refrained from instant pleasure, all while conquering the day each day. From hell, to livable... Change your mind change your life, best of luck to all.
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Dr. Peterson has one of the most important minds of the last 100 years. There may be smarter people, but certainly no smarter people actively using their intelligence to try and help people be their best selves. We don't need the newest cellphone, fastest car, or any of the things society tells us we need. We just need to understand ourselves. I've been a soldier for the last decade and I've lived my adult life with this phrase in mind:
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."
I've spent years learning my strengths and weaknesses as they pertain to the battlefield and trying to mold myself into a more effective soldier. As I became a better soldier, I found my personal relationships in ruins because I never spent any time learning who I was as a man, only as a soldier. Things are still rough, but now I have hope.
TY for this vid, it's always awesome listen to the Professor especially now when I just took the first step into catastrophe (ended a stagnated long term relationship)... but I know it will get better

Implementation we imply to our lives and perception of truth.God bless Professor Jordan Peterson
Thank you for reminding me of the gift of the freedom to fail.
Think of this metaphor- "The kingdom of God is withing you." Think deeper than the religious connotation. Think of the true best whole self being revealed from deep within you. Think of the idea of needing to be "born again" coming from deep within you. (This is the stuff that seems to make sense to me.) Peterson is has a mind that gets it in on so many levels. Most of us are asleep and do not know it.
Thank you 🙏 Been Dealing with stress and How I can move my channel forward. Needed to hear this. 😊
