Peterson also said that a liberal man is the most depressed. I don't know whether or not that fits your circumstances but it's certainly something worthy of being taken into consideration due to the source of this perspective. I wish you and all who read this the very best!
I genuinely love this man with all my heart. He has changed my life. He was a voice in the darkness for my brother and I after my father committed suicide. It would be the greatest honor of my life to shake his hand one day.
Your father committed suicide. People who are gone do not realize how much we love them and miss them. That one moment when they are about to commit suicide and all we want them to do is pick up the phone. You found your way out....
moon attacker The truth is only a terrible thing if you only consider the negative aspects. They’re more positive aspects than negative. Truth only gets better, not worse.
@@devaxionrl8189 in context... The truth is a terrible thing as quoted. Obviously good truths aren't terrible but it's easier to pay attention to context than repeat the ifs and buts and exception to the rules every time you speak...
@@devaxionrl8189 The ultimate Truth for us humans is that, not only us personally, but EVERY SINGLE PERSON you will ever care about, is going to die one day. That is a terrible thing, but in this context, ignoring that inescapable fact is the falsehood. Live your life like it matters, and you matter, and what you do matters. That is the Truth that is positive, and the answer to the terrible truth of death.
This man has changed my viewpoint on life in the last 2 days. I’m 19 about to turn 20. Just putting this here so I come back to it in a week to see if I’ve progressed even a little bit. If you’re seeing this I wish you the best of luck.
Soon I'll be 47, so I'm probably more than halfway to my expiration date. I don't have too many regrets from my 20s, save one. I had a job at a decent company for 14.5 years. The company wasn't dishonest, but it was a bit soul sucking to work there. Finally, I decided to leave and go in a new direction. It wasn't easy to step into the unknown and it wasn't a perfect transition, but I'm so glad that I did, because now I'm in a field that is such a better fit. My only regret is that I didn't leave earlier. Morale of the story: life is short. Don't let yourself get stuck in positions that will keep you from long term fulfillment.
Don't most of us equate doing what we believe to be meaningful with happiness? There is little real-world distinction between the two. This is what peterson does. he restates obvious truths in far more words than are necessary.
@@mdt471 Happiness can be very meaningless. Maybe you're happy when you're drinking or playing video games. On the other hand, something meaningful could be documenting/photographing the Sudanese genocide to spread awareness of atrocities. Or raging against the USSR despite the grave risk to your own well-being. That's not much fun and likely won't make you "happy", but it's incredibly meaningful. Even married life or raising children can be more meaningful than happy at times. Maybe if you're lucky you can find something that's both meaningful and consistently makes you happy, but that is most certainly a luxury. It's a modern delusion that the purpose of life is to experience happiness, thus the necessity of Peterson's dissent and the reason for your confusion.
@@grantlewis9925 Perhaps the confusion to which you allude lies in your definition of the word 'happiness'. You chose to attribute to it, synonyms like glee, cheerfulness, merriment and joy. These are appropriate. But so are the ones I chose when writing my comment...contentment, satisfaction, exhilaration, fulfillment. When I volunteer at a nursing home for the terminally ill, I experience none of the feelings you use to define happiness, but I feel happy . Happiness is not a thing, it is entirely subjective. Some people are happy to bully or steal. Don't believe that you can wrap an assessment of life experience in a neat package. You are absolutely correct in what you believe, but only according to one perspective, yours.
@@mdt471 therein lies our misunderstanding. Your use of the word "happiness" is overly-broad leading you to misinterpret Peterson. Peterson uses the word as it is intended to be used. 'Happy: feeling or showing pleasure or contentment.' It is emotional and often fleeting. Even a successful, content person leading a meaningful life will experience pain or anguish and that's fine. Happiness is not implicit in (nor synonymous with) meaning - the two simply coincide from time to time. Those glorious moments when they overlap is when the tragedy of existence justifies itself, according to Peterson. All this to say, please don't write-off his ideas simply because you define terms differently (and less coherently) than he does.
Sir Peterson, my father passed away too early to teach me these things. I see you as my father and I'm doing great and someday I will make you be proud to have a son like me ❤️
Man, this brought me to tears, Mr. Azhari. I've never met your dad, clearly, but I've no doubt that he lives on in you. Godspeed, young man. I pray the best for you.
I relate to your story, I lost my father when I was 1. My father was example for me from the stories that my brothers and people used to tell, how great human he was. Until I found Jordan Peterson, realize what a father would have taught me. Phenomenal
I've never really understood the controversy surrounding Jordan Peterson, he seems to come from a place of logic and facts for much of what he says, especially when speaking about human psychology and behaviour
@nikita ember Just examine the questions he is constantly asked, over and over again. "Why are so many of your listeners alt right supporters?" "Why are you advocating hate speech against transgenders?" "Are you responsible for the backlash agsinst Kathy Nueman?"
Because people are close-minded soft snowflakes who love to make assumptions based on his ideologies; generally, not always, these people tend to have a victim mentality
Very true indeed that's what we need but we don't have. Yet, in another conversation Peterson insists that the West is a hierarchy of competence not of power.
What's absent? The hierarchies themselves or people willing to say "we need hierarchies of competence"? As an editorial: I think we sometimes dislike the competencies that are (and are not) favored by the hierarchies, so it can be harder to desire genuinely engaging in the hierarchies. To make sense of these systems (and find a way to better benefit), I find myself needing to continually ask "what is favored by this hierarchy?"
its not absent. we have it. but people are fighting it. we have libtards even in germany. whats obvious is that all of them are young. because those who remember
A properly functioning hierarchy is built on competence. Lot's of corrupt hierarchies though that aren't necessarily built on values we should be perpetuating.
I was so stupid until I started listening to this God sent man. The best gift I could ask for in 2019. This year will be all about improvement and staying focus.
Being honest is what undergirds your relationship with reality. Trying to not say untruths or inconsistencies forces your perception of language to become more nuanced, or becomes easier as you consistently constrain yourself to those standards. You can approach perfection in construction of a semantic form, as an expression can approach "perfection" like 8/4 = 6/3 = 2/1 approaches simplest most efficient and effective forms. But being okay with the imprecision and inconsistency of 51/25 being a close enough representative meaning of 100/50, makes you incapable of simplifying an expression to the simplest accurate form of a meaning.
@@KalemStLouis he's internally self consistent to his message/meaning, but you may be right in noting the change of meaning of a word or phrase he's used, considering the contexts.
Jordan Peterson is important for two reasons: 1) The world needs him....now, more than ever. 2) He's an excellent role model for all young men and women.
Wait.... I think I know... You're not excluding for females, you're just saying that there seems to be a void of good sincere and actually helpful role models who are male???
I like to imagine there will be a whole generation of people, of all ability levels, all races, all IQ's, genders, and sexual orientations, who put this sort of thing into practice and accidentally fix the planet by beginning to fix themselves.
This guy changed my life. I left a career I hated two years ago and found him around the same time. Now I have a job I love and am so much better at dealing with difficult situations. Thank you Dr Peterson. 😍
@@jameshaynes5374 I worked as a marketer. It was bully central. I now work as a children's performer, which isn't for everyone but it makes me very happy, and I also work as a freelance content writer to boost my income. I'm 1000 times happier and more self motivated now.
Jordan Peterson is my hero. His lectures and his work have changed my life. Who I have become now is so far beyond who I used to be that it is almost unbelievable. And I discovered him through a Cathy Newman meme! Here I am a year later. My room is clean. I published my book. Got a better job because I learned how to negotiate. The man is a saint, and he changed my life.
Carl Roach he lives to hear things like that! It makes him feel that he really makes a change which he does. As you’ve noticed (above) there’ll be a lot of malevolence and envious behaviors around you. Don’t mind them, they have their own unsolved confusion in their minds to deal with. If you have an opportunity talk to them but just when they behave properly. Don’t encourage bad behavior like that of Nick Belorussian with your attention. This is exactly what he’s after: attention!
@@C_R_O_M________ that's why my initial response was just thatquestion, why would you assume that? That's what I've learned from Dr. Peterson. Let them speak their truth and you speak your truth, and the masses will decide the objective truth. Thank you for your support. Means a lot.
I am turning 51yrs in few month. I don't believe that's it too late for me to pursue my life and its purpose. Yes it's going to be hard and very difficult to break those bad habits / behaviors. But in few years it will be worth it. Time really does fly and before I know it I will be closer to my goal. I am tired of what I had become. It's a existence void of any progress.
@Goose bums good for you man, don’t listen to these trolls. JBPs message that you are in fact valuable and can in fact improve your own life is powerful. I agree with you my friend.
"You should be afraid of taking risks and pursuing something meaningful but you should be more afraid of staying where you are if it's making you miserable"
(this is no criticism of you or JP, this is just talking in general terms) I think the advice to "take risks" is over glorified. The actual advice should be "take calculated risks" which in essence isn't even risky at all, since there is more gain then to lose. Life is about risk vs reward, investment vs return on investment. The achievement of excellence in any field never comes from a blind leap of faith, or randomness in general. But rather, there are always a multitude of factors that bring the end result. And so what then am i suggesting? I would say that mindfulness, calculations, and prioritizations are the way to go.
@@cryptfire3158 be careful with that too. There’s people that use the calculated risk argument and end up don’t doing anything at all because they can’t fully reach the requirements that they self imposed so they can safely quit a job or end a relationship. Other times they do manage to get the amount of money they said they’ll need to start whatever they wanted to do and then, they convince themselves that they need more money or more of whatever to actually make a move just because they are too afraid to act. Sometimes doing anything to get closer to what we want it’s better than just planning over and over in our head and never getting the perfect scenario to act.
@@cryptfire3158 there’s always one guy like you. You’re the “uh actually” guy. “Actually blah blah blah!” So annoying. Just listen to the goddamn messages. He actually goes over what you said in another lecture.
Montgomery Dok what the hell is that supposed to mean. you sound like a passive aggressive jerk. at least explain yourself if you have something to say
Two different times in this video, the second time being the end of the last clip, it sounds as if Peterson is so overcome by the issues he’s discussing, that he is close to crying. He genuinely wants to make the world a better place.
@@KeithHiew covid is real, but the seriousness of it and danger isn't. I had it and am now fine. My grandpa died from it, but he was 89 in a hospital with a serious condition. Covid was definitely not worth destroying the economy over
@@natashka1982 None of that is proof of covid being real. That's just the flu, neumonia, phycological problems, medical corruption, media indoctrination into making us unhealthy... You see? Blaming anything on the "covid" brand is what gives the monsters power.
"If you're miserable in your job now and you change nothing, in 5 years you'll be much more miserable, and a lot older." That is the truth. Found a new job after 8.5 long years of searching for one. It was very difficult, but the clouds finally lifted and the good Lord helped me out of that situation.
X marks the Spot Don’t tell people of faith that the Lord didn’t help them. WE BELIEVE that the Lord works in our lives that way. If you’re not a believer that’s your choice... not ours.
Lol so true. I believe Peterson has come to a level where he dominates his language in a way that he keeps expanding it while in his flow state. At least that's my impression. And English is only my second language. (I'm Brazilian)
@@IuriSigma Sou inglês e na verdade existem certas pessoas dos quais são un prazer escutar na minha lingua e ele é um deles. A maneira q fala é perfeito.
Jordan Peterson is one of the most intellectually sincere people in the public domain. As a devout Christian myself, I rejoice in his blossoming realization and embrace of Judeo-Christian truth.
There is something fascinating about Jordan because it's like hearing something new for the first time but knowing you knew it, such an odd thing to experience.
That is a great observation. He talks common sense. We know it but don't believe it. He makes you believe in the human potential. Then he tells you can do it but you have to work hard for it. Sacrifice. Consciousness. Happiness is not the goal. Working to make your day better than yesterday and for the world around you. And it is ok if you are unhappy because life is a suffering. And he tells us to ahead and face it and fight it. So these are parental advices which we miss when we grow up. He dares to repeat them strongly as a father and you take them happily as a child since you believe it is coming from his heart.
Alex Isidro Go for it Alex...I lived my life with being a light rather than a blight. I went to university when my mom and dad totally rejected me for going. Almost a nervous breakdown ..but okay....so much blame and shame in the world...
I used to work as a programmer, hated every second of it. I was depressed. Over a year ago I started pursuing a life I wanted, I quit my job, the most scary choice I've ever made in my life. I went back to school, and now work day and night towards being able to live off the life of an illustrator. It is incredibly difficult, but I'm happier than I've ever been in my life. Recently a friend of mine showed me Jordan Peterson and his talks. He's saying everything my heart has been screaming all my adult life, and it is really helping me pushing even harder. Thank you man, you truly are doing something good in this world!
@@paranormalphenomena563 it was mostly the workflow, the complete lack of any incentive to be creative. It felt like working in a digital factory, just putting together digital boxes (exaggerating, but still). I'm not trying to put anyone off the career. If you truly enjoy the systematic side of it, then it may be for you. For me, I got the impression of it being more creative during my studies. I am very much an artist at heart though, more so than most. Long story short, just listen to yourself, your hunch is honestly the best thing you have.
Jordan Peterson is a combination of brilliance, compassion, common sense and love. His presence on this planet at this time are so desperately needed for people of all cultures, ethnicities and ages.
Im really lucky to find this guy at my age (18 years old) because he gives you objective and critical steps into giving your life meaning and not make it miserable. Such an inspirational father figure. I really do hope i can make it in this life. I hope you guys do too.
I am glad you listen to him. I wish he had been around when I was growing up. Then again we didn't have cell phones or UA-cam lol... But seriously I would encourage any young person to listen to this man's wisdom. You will do just fine in life I'm sure.
I applied Jordan's advise on life three years ago, and I completely changed my life. Today, I live motivated by my desires - not the desires of others. It took an almost complete overhaul of everything I was (dropped my religion and most friends, changed my choices of entertainment, moved to another city, ate to live, and started life anew with allowance of only positive reinforcements in). It's been great.
Mon R - think about it, he wants to live by his desires and not the desire’s of others and most religions are rules and laws placed on us by a single being or multiple beings meaning if you follow it you are living your life by their desires or in other words the desire of others, giving himself possible boundaries that could restrict him from fully reaching his own potential (I’m talking more like sex before marriage type restrictions rather than restrictions like committing murder)
@@rasher6290I recommend listening to Peterson some more, Peterson is so against striving for solely happiness, and he has long and many lectures on the importance and physiological significance of region in culture, specifically Christianity in the western world as were so successful (relative to other civilizations) its quite brash to say that "Every compitant person knows its made up anyway", there is a lot more to it than you think.
DONE THE SAME THING WITHOUT MOVING AND RESTARTING MY JOURNEY WAS THE BETTERMENT OF MY LIFE BECAUSE I NO LONGER DOUBT MYSELF, INSPIRATIONAL POST BY LEVERSON.
If I had known then what I know now.............I'd probably end up making a whole new set of mistakes this time round haha. You can look at the past, but never stare, it's too cringy to bare in most cases ; )
@@alexandergill4584 Yeah back in the days (when i wasn´t alive) life was much more simple for most people. They just had to live it. Today the world has become very complicated, is constantly changing and gives most people way to much choices. It seems almost inevitable to make wrong decisions all the time, even if you are just choosing a chocolate brand. You could say that our life is too short now for this complexity. But i have no clue if you wanted to say something completely different, haha ;)
NO?! Most of the work you do as a child is becoming a person and if your parents decided for you, you wouldn't have the drive yourself to learn and try and be strong, perhaps you wouldn't have any dreams to live up to. On the other hand, that can be done sooner or later and around twenty would be plenty, because it isn't too late to do something or too soon to have some sense of what you're doing
I’m 39 yrs old and I’m here to tell you it’s not too late. I started to pursue my dreams last year, i’m not close to achieve success but i know with a shadow of a doubt i’m closing the gap between now and my success. It will be mine
"It's a luxury to pursue what makes you happy, but it's a moral obligation to pursue what is meaningful for you." That hit home. I was a male ballet dancer but am pursuing medicine. I can relate
I love that. I left a secure job to be a ballroom dancer. Even though my dance career was short, I can say I did it and nothing can take that away. Even if you dont reach your goal, what you learn during the attempt is a blessing.
What he said at the end about all these kids that are being taught to be a victim really stuck a chord. It’s like wow the man has a point. I really hope that Jordan can have the affect on the world that he so clearly wants to have. The world would be a slightly darker place had I not discovered this man and his ideas/teachings
What's sad is that there are people who refuse to hear no matter how positive the message, and those are the people ruining the societies they live in. What to do about them is the question.
@@bluzedogg I think many of us to discuss these ideas is a good place to start. Change from dominant ideas of today that are destroying our world can only come from from enough individuals changing their values and thoughts. The Age of Enlightenment that gave rise to the American Constitution took centuries to form and mature, and its following decline that we are seeing today took two hundred years. All through the power of many individual efforts accepting what they believe. We can change the world through the power of ideas. In the case of Jorden Peterson I would say his ideas can help us towards a New Age of Enlightenment. Each of us will have an individual responsibility to see this happen.
This video brought a tear to my eye. The last section was one of the most important speeches that all people on Earth should hear. This man is just such an amazing legend, I love him so much.
God is using this guy to strike the intellect of young minds, starting with me. Going to see him lecture March 22 2022 in Charlotte, NC! I wish I could meet him. What a guy
Whenever I hear people talk about improving your life I feel like there trying to sell me a product and have ulterior motives. When Jordan talks I feel like he actually cares about me and wants the best for me
@Vesta you know that there is that one thing you have been meaning to learn. We all have one. I challenge you to take the 1st step either the day you read this or day after no excuses. Take me on and good luck friend
Because in a conceptual level, he does. "Gurus" want to make money, Jordan wants to make a difference. For him, money is a consequence, not the objective.
All this is really great and inspiring but start young because who is not growing older fast. It is a race against the clock and all are growing older. Eventually our only hope is in the eternal God of the Bible.
Then sit down and make your life plan. Do what the YT philosopher tells you.

A luxury to pursue what makes one happy...a moral obligation to pursue whats meaningful. Yep..hes a monster alright...just not the way they want him to be.
Nick Belloruso unlike most on UA-cam, including the glut of anonymous knee jerk critics such as you, Peterson is much more than a UA-cam philosopher. And unlike most here including the aforementioned glut including you, he has a lot to offer and is well worth listening to.
Do it it will change your life im 30 and have been a drinker and smoker for 15 years i stopped drinking 4 years ago and recently stopped smoking about a month ago and my life is going in a much better direction than ever... just believe in yourself.
3 years passed since I discovered Jordan Peterson. My life changed so much I can’t even tell. It takes at least two years to start a new career and face life challenges. Thanks God I discovered that Canadian lad. Thanks God.
@@christianmunoz8391 I was a 30 yo bartender with no plan for life, always on the runaway from my responsibilities. My dream was something stupid like: win a lottery and move to cheap country after (or something like that, I hope you get the idea). Then Jordan kindly explained to me that this position in life - sucks. And I started to educate myself and all of a sudden found myself full of ambitions and dreams. Now I finished my education, I work at a very good IT company, I have a wonderful 2yo son and my life has a Meaning. I have courage to see the Dragon of Chaos and I found my own sword to fight it. But most importantly - I AM HAPPY. Oh, and also - I lost my extra weight and found my fav sport - running. And thats what I do. Why did you ask tho?
"Despite the fact that life is a tragedy tainted by malevolence, at every level of existence there is something about the human spirit that can thrive under precisely those conditions... " I love this.
The good thing is that we do not need to have his knowledge, that would be quite unrealistic, but we can all follow his "rules" to get to live a life that is worth living. We just have to listen to Prof. Peterson and apply. Best wishes to you two!
I will be forever grateful to my friend who, one night when I went to his place for a beer, showed me a part of the Cathy Newman interview. Even though that seemed like just for laughs, I think he did it so I could discover Peterson.
You can tell he's lived, experienced and interpreted the human condition. It's hard work but it's truly the only way to have a fulfilling life, to ask yourself the questions no one wants to ask and begin to picture a way of living one can be truly proud of. Amazing, I'd love to meet him one day!
I'm 49 and I feel the same as the rest of you. I agree, Jordan is a real life changer. An exceptional one. I'm so thankful I've recently discovered him.
I love reading the comments about how this man has changed so many lives. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here right now. Keep strong and good luck everyone
Man this hits home for me. 18 years into a career that doesn’t inspire me…wife, daughter, mortgage. Huge responsibilities, getting older. What to do? Where to go from here? Take action, make a plan, educate yourself, improve your social interactions. All so true. It’s possible for any of us to make that change, but you better be prepared to work for that change.
To remember that we are but a breath in the image and likeness of a designer who loves us beyond what we consider let us take his Living Word once again to make it truth and he will show himself to every single one who determines to prove truth still will set us free
What i love about Jordan is how he has the perfect balance of tough life/ childhood and intense intellectual pursuit mixed with strategic realism and underlying, and unspoken tones of optimism. Its beautiful
Just found you by “accident” but Heaven knows I needed this. I have forwarded it to all the men in my life( brothers and husband). Your insight is so deep that it heals. Tunnel vision
I've never been more impressed by secular (not obviously God based but still God based) talk. Dr. Peterson has a gift and he works incredibly hard, endures loads of criticisms he doesn't deserve to be given and helps me every time I listen to him. EDIT: Just noticed the thumbs up on this video. Very few videos have over 200k thumbs up. That just screams pay attention.
Imagine disliking this video. Or anything Dr Peterson says really. It is most ironic that his biggest critics seem to be the people that desperately need to listen to him the most.
I would be afraid to converse with him. Because he would deconstruct any and all "scaffolding" psychological and intellectual structures that I have. He mentions this in one of his lectures included on this channel. Most of us have "scaffolding" that is pathological, or we can soften it and say "less effective than it could be", somewhat as how he describes the situation with the Harvard students that he mentions in this video. I am in a place in life right now where my "scaffolding" no longer works and is literally holding me hostage on the verge of heading towards self-destruction. My "scaffolding" worked for some time and for some of the aspects of my life, and I made some achievements with it that one could be proud of, but the "misery of life" he posits quite often (also in this video, I believe) has gotten the better of me. So much that I have to dismantle my "scaffolding" and built a different one. He mentions this process in a different video, and states that when you do that you find yourself in a very hard place, because you experience "nothingness" before you start building new "scaffolding" that will serve you on your pursuit of your new/adjusted plan. That is the place I have to go to, and it is very scary.
The reason you have more men viewing you videos......most of them never had a responsible father to walk the walk or talk the talk, as a mother I thank you so very much!
Gringorilla no she's saying there wasn't anyone teaching them how to be men , I'm one of em I have a dad we never lived together he's not a bad bloke but he's barely ever taught me anything
My father tells me good things, but I have never heeded his advise. I guess, the fact that he isn't a very successful person makes me not take him seriously.
I don’t blame my father for not teaching me these things. He has given me things JP couldn’t. No one is perfect and no one has it all figured out, but this is comforting to hear. Be the best you can be for yourself and for the life you want to create.
He's only portrayed as a villain by a subculture of freaks who make up a miniscule percentage of society. They need to be ignored by everyone so they can crawl back into the grotesque hole they came out of.
@@frankjudepi the problem is, those freaks are becoming increasingly powerful as they are able to appear to have the moral upper hand, and are extremely embedded in our educational system. Most of all the universities, which produce the people that will have societal influence later on. It's not as easy as simply ignoring, unfortunately.
This beautiful Man is the very reason why IM still here if I can be completely honest with myself. Damn, I still remember the day I was discretely saying my Goodbyes and I was going to take my own life... He came that exact same day... Crazy how everything in life has reason.Seems just like yesterday.... I'm just Genuinely Happy to learn that someone finally had understood me and all my struggles. Truly Heavensent♥️ Made me cry myself so much. Good thing that same crying is what I needed to Vanquish the demon Scuicide. He saved my life. No one had ever shown me so much love, including myself. Thank You♥️
I'm 16 years old now, this man is carrying my mental health and increases my brain cells every time. I'm so thankful for him. If I ever achieve and do things that I want in life, I will owe him all of them for giving me the guts to do it. I have no one to lecture me about these kinds of things, so I'm looking up to him as a father. It might sound funny but it's true
Recently discovered this man, and I'm telling you that this man is the best bar none. Anyone who listens attentively to this man and follow his instructions will inevitably change their life for the better. You can develop the two markers for lifetime success.
Most of his videos are good. There was a video he made about discipline. The intro showed a fat Black woman eating a Big Mac. Had fat people and gyms in the intro. It strikes as being a stereotype that fat people are lazy and not disciplined. A person can have a vitamin deficiency and not know it. Not having a fundamental vitamin in their body causes them to eat, because they are searching for the absent vitamin. There is no balance in their body, so they overeat. You can go to a doctor, but doctors do not always perform tests for this. Disappointed that he portrays fat people as being. greedy and lazy
Take care of yourself as if you were someone you cared for. And remember, the only way towards loving yourself is through gratitude! “In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” ~Albert Camus
I am blessed to be alive in a time where I can listen and improve myself through your knowledge, Dr. Peterson. I hope to meet you in person, one day. God Bless You and your family with health- mental, spiritual and physical.
A father for those who never had one.
this is gold
I think you may very well have hit the nail on the head there.
Yes ... this is a very good way to think of him :). Love this comment ...

My father was the completely opposite.
God, how much i hate him.
I've been watching this man's videos for 3 weeks and he is stripping my depression apart and changing my life

“Its a moral obligation to pursue what you find meaningful” everyone should have that framed on their wall

I don't think serial killers seek to find meaning in killing. I imagine their behavior to be far more impulsive
You should add the first part of that statement.

"Go out there and make something of yourself, for God sake"... I love this guy...

Your father committed suicide. People who are gone do not realize how much we love them and miss them. That one moment when they are about to commit suicide and all we want them to do is pick up the phone. You found your way out....

@@johnmith3454 Great example of a 'terrible truth'. Thank you.
Here is some terrible truth : there is no god.
This man has changed my viewpoint on life in the last 2 days. I’m 19 about to turn 20. Just putting this here so I come back to it in a week to see if I’ve progressed even a little bit. If you’re seeing this I wish you the best of luck.
Cobra, you are lucky you have the capital of youth. Take advantage of this while you're 19/20.
@Fallin Cobra * Good luck, and don't forget to include God in your plans and equation. 👍💚☘🙏🇺🇲🇮🇪
Soon I'll be 47, so I'm probably more than halfway to my expiration date. I don't have too many regrets from my 20s, save one. I had a job at a decent company for 14.5 years. The company wasn't dishonest, but it was a bit soul sucking to work there. Finally, I decided to leave and go in a new direction. It wasn't easy to step into the unknown and it wasn't a perfect transition, but I'm so glad that I did, because now I'm in a field that is such a better fit. My only regret is that I didn't leave earlier.
Morale of the story: life is short. Don't let yourself get stuck in positions that will keep you from long term fulfillment.
Friendly reminder
Hey man hows everything going now?
Coming from a black African in Africa, who has never left Africa. This guy has changed my life. In amazing ways. God bless Dr Peterson.
It is awesome to see that the power of the Internet can make this happen hopefully in the coming decades we in the west can learn from you as well
@David Kopp some people say he's racist that's why the guy mentioned race..
It’s inspiring to see Dr. Peterson’s message is so far reaching. Good luck to you mats ten!!!
I have many friends from Ghana and The Gambia who are all friendly, wonderful people. When I'm with them I feel like I'm with family.
@@TheMaidofHeaven why shouldn't you?
“It’s a luxury to pursue what makes you happy, it’s a moral obligation to pursue what you find meaningful.” JP
I am happiest when I do moral and meaningful things.
Don't most of us equate doing what we believe to be meaningful with happiness? There is little real-world distinction between the two. This is what peterson does. he restates obvious truths in far more words than are necessary.
@@mdt471 Happiness can be very meaningless. Maybe you're happy when you're drinking or playing video games. On the other hand, something meaningful could be documenting/photographing the Sudanese genocide to spread awareness of atrocities. Or raging against the USSR despite the grave risk to your own well-being. That's not much fun and likely won't make you "happy", but it's incredibly meaningful. Even married life or raising children can be more meaningful than happy at times. Maybe if you're lucky you can find something that's both meaningful and consistently makes you happy, but that is most certainly a luxury. It's a modern delusion that the purpose of life is to experience happiness, thus the necessity of Peterson's dissent and the reason for your confusion.
@@grantlewis9925 Perhaps the confusion to which you allude lies in your definition of the word 'happiness'. You chose to attribute to it, synonyms like glee, cheerfulness, merriment and joy. These are appropriate. But so are the ones I chose when writing my comment...contentment, satisfaction, exhilaration, fulfillment. When I volunteer at a nursing home for the terminally ill, I experience none of the feelings you use to define happiness, but I feel happy . Happiness is not a thing, it is entirely subjective. Some people are happy to bully or steal. Don't believe that you can wrap an assessment of life experience in a neat package. You are absolutely correct in what you believe, but only according to one perspective, yours.
@@mdt471 therein lies our misunderstanding. Your use of the word "happiness" is overly-broad leading you to misinterpret Peterson. Peterson uses the word as it is intended to be used. 'Happy: feeling or showing pleasure or contentment.' It is emotional and often fleeting. Even a successful, content person leading a meaningful life will experience pain or anguish and that's fine. Happiness is not implicit in (nor synonymous with) meaning - the two simply coincide from time to time. Those glorious moments when they overlap is when the tragedy of existence justifies itself, according to Peterson. All this to say, please don't write-off his ideas simply because you define terms differently (and less coherently) than he does.
"Go out there and make something of yourself, be honest, and work, be a bit of light on the world." Be a good one. Thank you, Jordan.

I read this as it was said, satisfying.
Unfortunately Mr Peterson is not following his own advice. He is anything but a force for good.
Sir Peterson, my father passed away too early to teach me these things. I see you as my father and I'm doing great and someday I will make you be proud to have a son like me ❤️
You must talk with your Father. Flesh is not life. Don't be scared just because you cannot see him.
Man, this brought me to tears, Mr. Azhari. I've never met your dad, clearly, but I've no doubt that he lives on in you. Godspeed, young man. I pray the best for you.
I relate to your story, I lost my father when I was 1. My father was example for me from the stories that my brothers and people used to tell, how great human he was. Until I found Jordan Peterson, realize what a father would have taught me. Phenomenal
Blessings Nima🌅
@@laurasteffen5681 I love this comment considering I no longer have mine😔❤️
I've never really understood the controversy surrounding Jordan Peterson, he seems to come from a place of logic and facts for much of what he says, especially when speaking about human psychology and behaviour
@nikita ember
Just examine the questions he is constantly asked, over and over again.
"Why are so many of your listeners alt right supporters?"
"Why are you advocating hate speech against transgenders?"
"Are you responsible for the backlash agsinst Kathy Nueman?"
You are correct. It is a false narrative. He is a common sense...wise man who wishes to help others.
Because people are close-minded soft snowflakes who love to make assumptions based on his ideologies; generally, not always, these people tend to have a victim mentality
He is good at some things, but he dodges the question of ancient mythology and how seriously he treats it
@@RPDBY If you've watched any of his Maps of Meaning lectures online you would know this isn't true...
"We need a hierarchy of competence" - Jordan Peterson.
It is amazing how much this is absent in the world.
Very true indeed that's what we need but we don't have. Yet, in another conversation Peterson insists that the West is a hierarchy of competence not of power.
What's absent? The hierarchies themselves or people willing to say "we need hierarchies of competence"?
As an editorial:
I think we sometimes dislike the competencies that are (and are not) favored by the hierarchies, so it can be harder to desire genuinely engaging in the hierarchies.
To make sense of these systems (and find a way to better benefit), I find myself needing to continually ask "what is favored by this hierarchy?"
its not absent. we have it. but people are fighting it. we have libtards even in germany. whats obvious is that all of them are young. because those who remember
A properly functioning hierarchy is built on competence. Lot's of corrupt hierarchies though that aren't necessarily built on values we should be perpetuating.
@Sean Bangerter Yes, competence is about results
I was so stupid until I started listening to this God sent man. The best gift I could ask for in 2019. This year will be all about improvement and staying focus.

His language is so concise and exactly to the point.
And flowing... Like a torrent.
Dan Wolzen watch the debate against Sam Harris. That changes
Being honest is what undergirds your relationship with reality. Trying to not say untruths or inconsistencies forces your perception of language to become more nuanced, or becomes easier as you consistently constrain yourself to those standards. You can approach perfection in construction of a semantic form, as an expression can approach "perfection" like 8/4 = 6/3 = 2/1 approaches simplest most efficient and effective forms. But being okay with the imprecision and inconsistency of 51/25 being a close enough representative meaning of 100/50, makes you incapable of simplifying an expression to the simplest accurate form of a meaning.
@@KalemStLouis he's internally self consistent to his message/meaning, but you may be right in noting the change of meaning of a word or phrase he's used, considering the contexts.

Jordan Peterson is my hero. His lectures and his work have changed my life. Who I have become now is so far beyond who I used to be that it is almost unbelievable.

@Goose bums good for you man, don’t listen to these trolls. JBPs message that you are in fact valuable and can in fact improve your own life is powerful. I agree with you my friend.
"You should be afraid of taking risks and pursuing something meaningful but you should be more afraid of staying where you are if it's making you miserable"
(this is no criticism of you or JP, this is just talking in general terms)
I think the advice to "take risks" is over glorified. The actual advice should be "take calculated risks" which in essence isn't even risky at all, since there is more gain then to lose. Life is about risk vs reward, investment vs return on investment.
The achievement of excellence in any field never comes from a blind leap of faith, or randomness in general. But rather, there are always a multitude of factors that bring the end result. And so what then am i suggesting? I would say that mindfulness, calculations, and prioritizations are the way to go.
Fucking NAILED IT.
So powerful
@@cryptfire3158 be careful with that too. There’s people that use the calculated risk argument and end up don’t doing anything at all because they can’t fully reach the requirements that they self imposed so they can safely quit a job or end a relationship. Other times they do manage to get the amount of money they said they’ll need to start whatever they wanted to do and then, they convince themselves that they need more money or more of whatever to actually make a move just because they are too afraid to act.
Sometimes doing anything to get closer to what we want it’s better than just planning over and over in our head and never getting the perfect scenario to act.
@@cryptfire3158 there’s always one guy like you. You’re the “uh actually” guy. “Actually blah blah blah!” So annoying. Just listen to the goddamn messages. He actually goes over what you said in another lecture.

Jordan Peterson is one of the most intellectually sincere people in the public domain.
As a devout Christian myself, I rejoice in his blossoming realization and embrace of Judeo-Christian truth.
There is something fascinating about Jordan because it's like hearing something new for the first time but knowing you knew it, such an odd thing to experience.
I know what you mean!
I feel the same way with abraham hicks
That is a great observation. He talks common sense. We know it but don't believe it. He makes you believe in the human potential. Then he tells you can do it but you have to work hard for it. Sacrifice. Consciousness. Happiness is not the goal. Working to make your day better than yesterday and for the world around you. And it is ok if you are unhappy because life is a suffering.
And he tells us to ahead and face it and fight it.
So these are parental advices which we miss when we grow up. He dares to repeat them strongly as a father and you take them happily as a child since you believe it is coming from his heart.
That’s right on the nail. Exactly what I was thinking.

I applied Jordan's advise on life three years ago, and I completely changed my life. Today, I live motivated by my desires - not the desires of others. It took an almost complete overhaul of everything I was (dropped my religion and most friends, changed my choices of entertainment, moved to another city, ate to live, and started life anew with allowance of only positive reinforcements in). It's been great.

@@rasher6290I recommend listening to Peterson some more, Peterson is so against striving for solely happiness, and he has long and many lectures on the importance and physiological significance of region in culture, specifically Christianity in the western world as were so successful (relative to other civilizations) its quite brash to say that "Every compitant person knows its made up anyway", there is a lot more to it than you think.

NO?! Most of the work you do as a child is becoming a person and if your parents decided for you, you wouldn't have the drive yourself to learn and try and be strong, perhaps you wouldn't have any dreams to live up to. On the other hand, that can be done sooner or later and around twenty would be plenty, because it isn't too late to do something or too soon to have some sense of what you're doing

"It's a luxury to pursue what makes you happy, but it's a moral obligation to pursue what is meaningful for you." That hit home. I was a male ballet dancer but am pursuing medicine. I can relate

Weird. I read this quote as he said it. Likely need to think about this farther.

@@bluzedogg I think many of us to discuss these ideas is a good place to start. Change from dominant ideas of today that are destroying our world can only come from from enough individuals changing their values and thoughts. The Age of Enlightenment that gave rise to the American Constitution took centuries to form and mature, and its following decline that we are seeing today took two hundred years. All through the power of many individual efforts accepting what they believe. We can change the world through the power of ideas. In the case of Jorden Peterson I would say his ideas can help us towards a New Age of Enlightenment. Each of us will have an individual responsibility to see this happen.

@@yaboitone1126 that’s awesome Antonio! You’ll love it! That’s why I put the date in my comment btw :)
I’m seeing him in March, also! In SLC!
I am 50. He has helped alot of us old guys also
Whenever I hear people talk about improving your life I feel like there trying to sell me a product and have ulterior motives. When Jordan talks I feel like he actually cares about me and wants the best for me
@Vesta you know that there is that one thing you have been meaning to learn. We all have one. I challenge you to take the 1st step either the day you read this or day after no excuses. Take me on and good luck friend
Because in a conceptual level, he does. "Gurus" want to make money, Jordan wants to make a difference. For him, money is a consequence, not the objective.
Yes. Exactly. You hear it in his voice
Yea right he cares about his checks
the world needs to hear this man.
He is super smart . he knows what we are going through and what we need to fix it
It’s so beautiful that he can cry on stage like that. Just shows how much he means what he’s saying and how he understands its importance
All this is really great and inspiring but start young because who is not growing older fast. It is a race against the clock and all are growing older. Eventually our only hope is in the eternal God of the Bible.
I know of a man who can help you manifest whatever and whoever you wanna manifest within two day
He was the one who helped me restore back ex 3 days ago without delay

He makes so much sense. How can anyone disagree with him. I could listen to him all day. He is telling everyone exactly what they need to hear.
Then sit down and make your life plan. Do what the YT philosopher tells you.
A luxury to pursue what makes one happy...a moral obligation to pursue whats meaningful. Yep..hes a monster alright...just not the way they want him to be.
"how can anyone disagree with him" - You obviously haven't seen him debate with Sam Harris :P
Lol
Nick Belloruso unlike most on UA-cam, including the glut of anonymous knee jerk critics such as you, Peterson is much more than a UA-cam philosopher. And unlike most here including the aforementioned glut including you, he has a lot to offer and is well worth listening to.
I'm literally crying while watching this. This man has really helped me a lot and taught me so many things.
This man has caused an intellectual explosion in me.
that's called a(n) orgasm...
Go for it mate. We can all push ourselves to live better lives
Here too!
Same!
The intellectual alternatives to Jordan Peterson are so rare
JP was a heavy drinker and smoker??? Damn I gotta quit. I'm only 26. Everything is still in front of me.
Do it! The world will benefit by your contribution to it.
I already quit. It feels much better.
I’m 22 smoke and drink too, maybe we should both quit. Least we won’t be alone in it😂
Do it it will change your life im 30 and have been a drinker and smoker for 15 years i stopped drinking 4 years ago and recently stopped smoking about a month ago and my life is going in a much better direction than ever... just believe in yourself.
Not really, everything is in front of you. You can do it.
Been 9 years since my dad passed away. So sad that he isn't around to join me watch Jordan Peterson's talks. We would have so much to talk about.
Be a light in the world; not a blight on it. Many need to hear this.
Jordan Peterson is the only person who makes me clap after watching a youtube video.

I like how the clips don't at all fit to what he's saying
"Life is difficult and tragic"
*beautiful girl running on the beach and smiling*
Haha exactly
😁😁😂
"but there's something about human spirit that can thrive precisely under those conditions"
But thats the difficult and tragic part of life. Fits perfect.
Well yeah it fits, cuz here we are in the UA-cam comments without beaches or beaches of our own.... And thats tragic.
Stop with the corny music and stock shots! They detract from the information being conveyed.
TheNakedClub I agree. All the chic pics too.
Pretty typical for motivation-themed channels, and unlikely to change soon.
Agreed. Totally distracts from the message.
Agree. Annoying as hell! I turn the monitor off and listen.
lol.
3 years passed since I discovered Jordan Peterson. My life changed so much I can’t even tell. It takes at least two years to start a new career and face life challenges. Thanks God I discovered that Canadian lad. Thanks God.
What changed for you if you don't mind me asking?
@@christianmunoz8391 I was a 30 yo bartender with no plan for life, always on the runaway from my responsibilities. My dream was something stupid like: win a lottery and move to cheap country after (or something like that, I hope you get the idea).
Then Jordan kindly explained to me that this position in life - sucks. And I started to educate myself and all of a sudden found myself full of ambitions and dreams.
Now I finished my education, I work at a very good IT company, I have a wonderful 2yo son and my life has a Meaning. I have courage to see the Dragon of Chaos and I found my own sword to fight it. But most importantly - I AM HAPPY.
Oh, and also - I lost my extra weight and found my fav sport - running. And thats what I do.
Why did you ask tho?
@@AtticusColdfield that's badass. Good for you! I was just curious really. Thank you for sharing!
@@christianmunoz8391 anytime bru! Good luck on your Path!
One of the greatest men to have graced this world. So happy that I'm living at this time to hear Jordan Peterson's brilliance.
I know of a man who can help you manifest whatever and whoever you wanna manifest within two day..
Let's pass it on we hav our part 2 he cannot reach Everyone esp the ppl we need 2 reach WOW!!!! 🤣😂💟💟
"Despite the fact that life is a tragedy tainted by malevolence, at every level of existence there is something about the human spirit that can thrive under precisely those conditions... "
I love this.
Deepak achievement unlocked.
@Goodvibe - well he says "can thrive" not "will thrive".
Chris Hocken he is a scholar
He said that and I suddenly felt tears coming up in my eyes. I was like, wtf I didn't expect that to happen! It was truly what I needed to hear.
Since my boyfriend introduced me to JP ,my life changed! Imagine if we all had this knowledge ..... and could live our dream lives
The good thing is that we do not need to have his knowledge, that would be quite unrealistic, but we can all follow his "rules" to get to live a life that is worth living. We just have to listen to Prof. Peterson and apply. Best wishes to you two!
We do have it.
I will be forever grateful to my friend who, one night when I went to his place for a beer, showed me a part of the Cathy Newman interview. Even though that seemed like just for laughs, I think he did it so I could discover Peterson.
If your boyfriend introduced you to Jordan, he's the right one
Good, but realize why public schools and tv shows have kept you away from this knowledge and wisdom.
You can tell he's lived, experienced and interpreted the human condition. It's hard work but it's truly the only way to have a fulfilling life, to ask yourself the questions no one wants to ask and begin to picture a way of living one can be truly proud of. Amazing, I'd love to meet him one day!
I'm 50, not in college, but I think Jordan is a life changer.
So do I, at age of 47. I am reaching out for alternative couches/teachers also, but didn't find some in many years
Never to late
I'm 49 and I feel the same as the rest of you. I agree, Jordan is a real life changer. An exceptional one. I'm so thankful I've recently discovered him.
It's never too late
I love reading the comments about how this man has changed so many lives. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here right now. Keep strong and good luck everyone
Love reading this. I hope you are still doing well.

Socrates can't save America from what's coming
Yes and he is no matter what the negative people say cause of there hate.
And a voice of reason ,and understanding
accept Socrates asked questions.. this dude just talks and talks.
Man this hits home for me. 18 years into a career that doesn’t inspire me…wife, daughter, mortgage. Huge responsibilities, getting older. What to do? Where to go from here? Take action, make a plan, educate yourself, improve your social interactions. All so true. It’s possible for any of us to make that change, but you better be prepared to work for that change.
Don't sit around long enough to realise the one already preparing for change was the wife.
To remember that we are but a breath in the image and likeness of a designer who loves us beyond what we consider let us take his Living Word once again to make it truth and he will show himself to every single one who determines to prove truth still will set us free

My man is a mutha-feasting poet!
What i love about Jordan is how he has the perfect balance of tough life/ childhood and intense intellectual pursuit mixed with strategic realism and underlying, and unspoken tones of optimism. Its beautiful

@@maryblesssing1749 I want to know
Just found you by “accident” but Heaven knows I needed this. I have forwarded it to all the men in my life( brothers and husband). Your insight is so deep that it heals. Tunnel vision
Why men specifically?
@@Takiki because lots of his work can be very applicable to men
I've never been more impressed by secular (not obviously God based but still God based) talk. Dr. Peterson has a gift and he works incredibly hard, endures loads of criticisms he doesn't deserve to be given and helps me every time I listen to him. EDIT: Just noticed the thumbs up on this video. Very few videos have over 200k thumbs up. That just screams pay attention.
Agreed
"Dreams shed light on the dim places where reason itself has yet to voyage." Jordan Peterson "12 rules for life"
I love this
Imagine disliking this video. Or anything Dr Peterson says really. It is most ironic that his biggest critics seem to be the people that desperately need to listen to him the most.
Lol not disliking anything he says? Sounds a bit sychophantic though I doubt that was your intent
I find it easy to disagree with a man who says that “feminine” is chaos, whilst “masculine” is order
@@dpax2195 only because you dont understand what he means.

E K posthumous insert The Father where JPs name is.
This guy has so much wisdom and is super smart. I wouldn’t mind actually talking about everything with Jordan Peterson.
I would be afraid to converse with him. Because he would deconstruct any and all "scaffolding" psychological and intellectual structures that I have. He mentions this in one of his lectures included on this channel. Most of us have "scaffolding" that is pathological, or we can soften it and say "less effective than it could be", somewhat as how he describes the situation with the Harvard students that he mentions in this video. I am in a place in life right now where my "scaffolding" no longer works and is literally holding me hostage on the verge of heading towards self-destruction. My "scaffolding" worked for some time and for some of the aspects of my life, and I made some achievements with it that one could be proud of, but the "misery of life" he posits quite often (also in this video, I believe) has gotten the better of me. So much that I have to dismantle my "scaffolding" and built a different one. He mentions this process in a different video, and states that when you do that you find yourself in a very hard place, because you experience "nothingness" before you start building new "scaffolding" that will serve you on your pursuit of your new/adjusted plan. That is the place I have to go to, and it is very scary.
Mr Jordan Peterson, the day your mother brought you into the world every living being gave a standing ovation. You're a gift from God my friend.
Thank you God for Jordan Peterson. These messages are absolutely life changing. Grateful beyond words.
The reason you have more men viewing you videos......most of them never had a responsible father to walk the walk or talk the talk, as a mother I thank you so very much!
There are more men that watch UA-cam in general too.
Uhm... Are you saying more boys than girls have been left by their father? Where on earth did you dig up that information?
Gringorilla no she's saying there wasn't anyone teaching them how to be men , I'm one of em I have a dad we never lived together he's not a bad bloke but he's barely ever taught me anything
My father tells me good things, but I have never heeded his advise. I guess, the fact that he isn't a very successful person makes me not take him seriously.
@@saurabhdaga3231 youv got a bad attitude
"Life is a tragedy tainted by malevolence." It's just one quote after another with this man.
I don’t blame my father for not teaching me these things. He has given me things JP couldn’t. No one is perfect and no one has it all figured out, but this is comforting to hear. Be the best you can be for yourself and for the life you want to create.
Had the privilege to experience Prof. Peterson in person today in my university. What a necessary character of the 21st century. Thank you Jordan.
It is so rare to hear someone speak, who genuinely cares. Such a travesty that he has been portrayed as a villain!
He's only portrayed as a villain by a subculture of freaks who make up a miniscule percentage of society. They need to be ignored by everyone so they can crawl back into the grotesque hole they came out of.
Exactly - it portrays his critics in a very bad light and we should simply ignore them and give them no publicity.
Frank Jude well put
@@frankjudepi Well put. Hit the nail on the head there!
@@frankjudepi the problem is, those freaks are becoming increasingly powerful as they are able to appear to have the moral upper hand, and are extremely embedded in our educational system. Most of all the universities, which produce the people that will have societal influence later on.
It's not as easy as simply ignoring, unfortunately.
"It's a moral obligation to pursue what's meaningful."
This beautiful Man is the very reason why IM still here if I can be completely honest with myself.
Damn, I still remember the day I was discretely saying my Goodbyes and I was going to take my own life...
He came that exact same day...
Crazy how everything in life has reason.Seems just like yesterday....
I'm just Genuinely Happy to learn that someone finally had understood me and all my struggles. Truly Heavensent♥️
Made me cry myself so much. Good thing that same crying is what I needed to Vanquish the demon Scuicide. He saved my life. No one had ever shown me so much love, including myself.
Thank You♥️
This is so powerful. Thank you for sharing this.
J.P is a Blessing to so many. A passionate and articulate, noble man. Wow!!!!

This man is the wake up call we are sorely in need of...
What a legend.
ua-cam.com/video/QeYSqZPzwr8/v-deo.html
There was another legend about, a few thousand years ago, a prophet , with a message of hope and love for mankind , important to listen to this man 🙂
Yes yes!
I'm 16 years old now, this man is carrying my mental health and increases my brain cells every time. I'm so thankful for him. If I ever achieve and do things that I want in life, I will owe him all of them for giving me the guts to do it. I have no one to lecture me about these kinds of things, so I'm looking up to him as a father. It might sound funny but it's true
I'm also here for you my brother
Good for you!! Keep listening. You'll gain wisdom.
this man is single handedly responsible for turning my life around for the better.
You forgot about the most important person who turned your life around: yourself!
Honestly, what a stunning person - truly one of a kind
This is my guy. Jordan is exactly what we need right now. He is truly a gift from the Almighty.
Recently discovered this man, and I'm telling you that this man is the best bar none. Anyone who listens attentively to this man and follow his instructions will inevitably change their life for the better. You can develop the two markers for lifetime success.
Most of his videos are good. There was a video he made about discipline. The intro showed a fat Black woman eating a Big Mac. Had fat people and gyms in the intro. It strikes as being a stereotype that fat people are lazy and not disciplined. A person can have a vitamin deficiency and not know it. Not having a fundamental vitamin in their body causes them to eat, because they are searching for the absent vitamin. There is no balance in their body, so they overeat. You can go to a doctor, but doctors do not always perform tests for this. Disappointed that he portrays fat people as being. greedy and lazy
@@Blingaling-qe2zw I agree with you 💯
