Jordan Peterson On Starting From Scratch

Hell yeah keep it up

Maybe you should focus on figuring out WHY you've had to rebuild MANY TIMES and why you are now doing it again at 39. This video has nothing to do with WHAT YOU HAVE. It's not about possessions, it's about MEANING.

And it absolutely matters "how you get it" I think maybe you don't understand ANY of these talking points AT ALL.

@@awf80 to other people it doesn't matter...you are trying to bully a commenter and im the victim now hush up before I really gen z this bitch... btw I'm 40

@@awf80 im not a pussy I took lots of risks and im in great shape I got plenny of money ive worked hard and will always work hard im fine my point is your all scared

Hey you just made me realise which dragons I have slayed

I'm 467 days sober. I don't love waking up yet. Feels like such a depressing grind still. Just coffee , work out, work just to feel like I'm not getting anywhere especially towards financial freedom. I dunno . It's night and day better than it was . Hope I start feeling happy again one day

Keep on keeping on! It really does matter.

Congratulations 🎉 3,285 days sobriety for me ❤all by the grace of GOD & 12 simple steps 😊on 5-10-2015 I surrendered my drunken life for SOULBRIETY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

especially with snow

Both conscious and unconscious are aiming to a goal. Thats why

That’s night? 😊

Human brain requires down time, so to say, where it’s not under load from any external factors, in order for it to process things you are thinking about. That’s why it’s good to take a walk without headphones or drive in a car without the radio on because you resolve the conflicts that have an impact on your conscious and subconscious mind. It’s a form of meditation through solitude.

@@starscream007 well said brother

Dodge, pary, thrust!"- Daffy Duck

Saddening.

Damn

Bro, mine has splintered into absolute shards of catastrophe a month before my 44th birthday. I have selfishly relied on my partner for 14 years and not built anything stable for myself. I found out she was messaging another dude for like 2 years. She says nothing physical has happened but she's away for work conferences a couple of times a year, staying in the same hotels this guy stays in, I think it's obvious that's not true. It may have been my fault but I simply felt absolutely insecure and couldn't continue a relationship with the woman I know for sure is the best person I could spend the rest of my life with. It might be cliche but stuff like this may actually save my life over the next year or so. Absolutely terrified. But it's not just us. Be strong man.

@@bigwetsalmon1 it works. Trust the process. Is life even worth living if you don’t get to experience the absolute destruction and redemption of it? I doubt it

@@joenichols3901 I'm physically and mentally at day one of the process. I have a lot of addictions to face and give up. We'll see what happens. Thanks for your words dude 👍

@@bigwetsalmon1 keep it up, keep listening to jordan petersons life advice, ignore politics for now.... you're 44. Statistically you'll live around another forty years so you've barely live half your life. People at 22 in your position tell themselves its too late to change lol... such nonsense. Spend the next six years completely fixing your life (do what Jordan suggests) and you can spend decades a much happier man with a meaningful life It works. Just put your head down and work on yourself for a few years.

@@bigwetsalmon1 accountability is the first step to making changes. I've been in a similar situation before and I understand your pain and I hope you're doing well. It's hard to not have that feeling of regret but what's in the past can't be changed and you only have control over what you do. It's important to understand that cheating on someone is a cowardish thing to do and no matter how you feel about the situation, you need to at least know that in the back of your head. On the other hand though, take it as a learning experience because you want to at least take something good away from the relationship. Try to reflect on things you might have done to let something like that happen and what you can do in the future to prevent it. At the end of the day the blame is on both parties usually and can't be completely one-sided so it's important to reflect.

Me too. One day, I ll figure it out soon

What he is saying is…..stop trying to figure it out….Act.

What's the music at the beginning of the video?

you will never figure it out ever

He's not rambling these are edits from lectures and podcast and such.

1. Skip the prayers and go immediately to step 2.

@@Ch0senJuan Except this is the formula Jesus prescribed. Are you more wise than Christ? I am not. Start at step 1. Prayer changes you. Specific prayers help you define your goals. Faith is essential to success. One man plants, another waters, but only God brings the growth.

@@actorjay Great comments. Sophisticated insight.

@@yotil2360 Thank you, sir. It's a recent insight. God bless you.

Amen

It ain’t over!

You made it this far; God has a purpose for you.

@@rogerhilmer2791 That's my sincerest hope!

Me too, I am 53 and starting over again. I'm getting too old for this shit with not having any help.

Find a new purpose.Find a real reason to live. Try a healthy diet. Try volunteering in a good cause

I’m sorry and I know how you feel. Don’t give up trying and a tiny bit of progress is better than none and worth celebrating until it becomes easier and easier to tackle bigger chunks

Now go listen to David goggins Learn to become a phoenix Good luck brother And remember to take chances in life, Columbus did

you deserve a nice life man, hope it works out.

Keep going! Create a vision and stay focused on that, read JP’s book it completely turned my life around :)

Hi there, your comment resonates with my Life. I wish you for you that you have the strength and determination for your Life ❤️

Good luck young man. Go get it, the sky is your limit.

Me Too. Starting over is an addiction. I seem to be more comfortable and alive rebuilding structures I’ve torn down… Crazy neuro pathways…..🤪

⁠indeed…

Perfectly captures Jordan's roots from Northern Alberta while having that solemn sort of feel. Sort of like shower thoughts, but on that long stretch of road instead. It can be sobering, but makes me want to detatch myself from my emotions

Jordan Peterson is the epitome of "a dumb guy's idea of a smart guy", hate to break it to you.

Google the hierarchy of needs pyramid. Just trust me. Lol. It'll add clarity anyway.

@@MommaLousKitchen Maslow's heirchy of needs? As in shelter, food etc?

@@XanderShiller that one!

@@XanderShiller where you at one there?

Interesting perspective... 9:15 🍿👀🌊🐬📺🦸⛷️ I need to go skiing before I get too old

I have found this to be true as well. All a man needs is a quiet out of the way place to live, some tools, a pew pew, someplace to stash some cash, maybe a cheap vehicle you can work on, and don't attract attention to yourself.

I smoke daily since 14 years ago. Its addictive. Same as all dopamine boosters. Energy drinks.. porn.. cigarettes.. even food. Any dopamine thing is potential for addiction. And my doc wants me on adderall. A 20x dopamine boost. S m h

Keep the promise you made to yourself and don’t smoke this today

same, if I don't smoke I'm irritable and everything bothers me. Everyone says I should get on medication but I think I need to learn to love myself as I am without any outside influences.

@@okaminmbr9 take mushrooms bro youll find that happiness. ive smoked every day since i was 14 and im 20 now and finally taking a break for the first time and it feels amazing on the other side. Don't take the medication bro I promise there's natural ways to go about it and in my opinion mushrooms are the best for self love and empathy

@@okaminmbr9 just be cautious though, they can be strong. Make sure you're in a relaxing environment and have the mindset going into it that you're not afraid but you're going to let it happen and learn from the experience

Moving. Very moving. You left me with something fabulous to think of today. I'm sure you have a brilliant mind. ❤

Yes I have heard that new discoveries and theories have difficulty finding acceptance in the scientific fields. People become very attached to their beliefs and can't change them easily. It becomes part of their egos and will be defended to the death. An unfortunate reality. A course on ego control should be part of the scientific curriculums. It may be very helpful in this regard as it is certainly a barrier to advancements. 🙋🏼‍♀️👍

Me too, oddly soothing lol.

The thing is you have to want to change and leave your past self behind. You don’t want to do that. Or else you discover the bigger and deeper problems around your life

Stop drinking. If you can’t, you have a problem. Seek 12 step meetings. Working out and cleaning will come after you stop drinking.

It sounds like you are very unhappy with your life. You are where many people are rn. I'm my opinion, once you have found a way to have a roof and food, you have to find a purpose for living. That is the hard part. You have to find out what it is that you really value in life. An example is, if you love horses, get a job around horses. If you hate the results of the oil and gas industry, don't work in that field. I found purpose working for the City maintaining parks. I was willing to get up at 5:30 am and work 10 hr days because I felt good about my contribution to the people of my city. Work in an area that you have an interest in. Then when you learn as you work it will more fulfilling. Many sports stars stay in the sports field after their athletic careers because that is their main interest. It is hard to figure out what kind of work can give you a purpose but it is worth figuring out. Sometimes you can find it by deciding what areas you are NOT interested in. Then you are left with only a few to chose from so it's easier to chose one to commit to. With a purpose, you then have a direction to move in to find fulfillment and meaning in your life. They lifestyle that is reflecting your lack of purpose will change without much effort because you will not depend on it to give you the tiny bits of joy you need to face another day. I think this is the key to a good life but no one really tells you this. They just tell you to follow your interests and that doesn't pay the bills. My interests are watching TV and reading. I love animals but I don't want to care for them full time so that's out. I didn't know I liked horticulture until I started working for the city. Now I know there is a limit to what I am willing to do to climb the ladder at my job. I'm on to the next job in banking. I want to know more about how banking works. I will have a reason to go to work besides my paycheque. I'm thinking about a student loan to study archeology. I love that stuff and would love to spend my days digging in the dirt to find artifacts. I think I will be required to do that right away in school so I would find a lot of fulfilment doing that. And if I ever managed to find an ancient artifact that had been buried for thousands of years, I would be thrilled. Anyway, I think that is the way to a build a meaningful and fulfilling life. Add in a wife and family and you will also find the joy that it can bring. You can have that too. Best wishes for a good life dear. 🙋🏼‍♀️💖🌈

Me too. Is it possible to quit drinking? Probably, but I’m scared of withdraw.

@@SkitzoBenjamin yeah it’s possible to quit drinking. I drank a bottle a bottle of vodka a day at the end of my alcoholism. Go walk into any hospital or detox center and tell them you’re an alcoholic and need to stop drinking. They give you meds to help. You stay there for around 5 days, then go to a 12 step focused rehab or AA meetings.

These traits raise your vibration so that you have the bandwidth to be greatly receptive --> above others, to the information that is streamlined to us, yes.

@@PsychologicalApparition Beautifully written my friend. My mission here is to love and be loved. I pray we are all able to access our emotions 🙏❤️

Tate is a savage, compared to Peterson.

Or Ben Shapiro 😅

There's a term for that; "Backseat driver".

Have you considered the possibility that what you want may not be a specific person, but the feeling of loving and being loved by someone special to you?

@@M4ttz8exactly this. He will see the light.

@@M4ttz8exactly

My father in law recently passed away. His wife is going through the process of preparing for his funeral. She is also in the process of mourning, as well as her family. Yes, his failures and mistakes were brought up, but that’s not what people will remember him by. The photos of him that people have are of him smiling, on the beach, arm in arm, and laughing. When people go, the ones who love you will love you, despite anything. We are not perfect and good people know that and won’t be so strict, as long as you struggled for good.

Those who loved you will always remember YOU - in and with love. Nothing else is going to matter. Because they are the ones that matter.

I understand what you're saying. lol trust me, I'm the biggest pos on the planet. All we can do is work on ourselves and change for the better!

Relax. Nobody really cares about anyone.

@@Anni_12349 what? Dude, have children. Learn from heroes. That is the ultimate achievement. To selflessly put others ahead of you.

This is a sign. I nipping my issue in the bud sooner rather than later. Tired of feeling like it's too late or it's too soon.

To err is human. Its worth the price to learn and not repeat the mistake. Been there myself.

I sounds like you were doing well with or without the woman. If she gets half then she got half the debt too. If you had to cash out to pay her off then do it again WITHOUT her. You know how to do it now. It he bank also knows you would be successful except for the divorce. They can help you get started again. You lost a disloyal person. That's a good thing. You are in a better position now without a person who would hurt you like that. I'm sorry she deceived you. It's not your fault you trusted her. Don't blame yourself for falling for it. They play the part well until they don't. It happens alot. She'll regret it in time. 🤷‍♀️💖🌈

Damn. Prayers 💖

​@@leanne123I agree, cash out. Buy one new rental, do it again, cheaper. Cause only one mouth now.

Jesus loves u !!! ❤ your blessing is on the way ❤

@@Telepathy723 I’m literally Jesus.

@@LiterallyJesusChrist nice

Don't forget that Jesus was crucified. The world doesn't like Jesus. He is too good. They didn't understand him and accused him of things He didn't do or say. Be careful. If you are burned out you have been giving too much. You have to find your limits and communicate them to those around you so they don't demand or expect more from you than you can deliver. You have to develope boundaries that protect you from being over worked or taken advantage of. You may have to start fresh at a new job to be able to establish new boundaries because the last place got used to you doing more than you should be to sustain your health. If it's relationship responsibilities that have burned you out, you must insist on getting help. Either your spouse or paid support is available to take the load lighter. I broke up with a guy because he refused to do household chores. We could have just hired somebody and that would have solved the issue. I didn't know that option was available at the time. 🤷‍♀️ Live and learn.

@@leanne123 Everyone's dead except my mother. She rented me to child porn producing pedophiles when I was a kid, because she was a cocaine addict. She's an actual psychopath who groomed me into only living to serve psychopaths. My ex-wife is one too, she poisoned our child twice and nearly killed him, got away with it because her dad is a retired cop now turned retired politician. I'm completely alone in this world. I've heard the advice, none of it seems to have much effect at this point. It's like asking a dog to be a cat, "just try this suggestion", nope, still not a cat...

😌👍

Shadow work.

Jung? I think.

I also cringe at his online persona, but he genuinely gives incredible life advice that can be applied to everyone regardless of their political leanings. It comes from his years as a psychologist helping people. I’ve always found him to be fascinating when he talks a psychology and self-help.
