How to Have a Life Worth Living - Jordan Peterson

[@AfterSkool]

The most powerful thing I've learned from Dr. Jordan Peterson: Change yourself and you will change the world. Change starts on an individual level. Individual freedom comes with taking individual responsibility. Do not play the victim game. Take your power back. If you enjoyed this animation, please consider supporting After Skool on Patreon.

[@lysanamcmillan7972]

When you live under a system that is designed to oppress people who don't fit the standards of the elite and don't already belong to it, it is not "victim game" to point this out. What Peterson and many like him forget is they are starting on the course of life with no immediate and externally applied hindrances. Jon Scalzi's gamer theory of privilege and advantage should be studied by anyone and everyone who thinks "victim mentality" is the problem. We are not in a fair and equitable society and cannot be so long as people like him lie to the rest of us about where the fault more often lies. It does take work. In groups. Overthrowing and remaking the power structure cannot be achieved by individuals acting alone.

Paradise Matrix "Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world where none suffered, where everyone would be happy? It was a disaster. No one would accept the program."

[@raraavis7782]

@@lysanamcmillan7972 That's not his point, though. Encouraging people, to work on themselves on an individual level first and to make sure, they've actually earned the right, to critize society (never mind, completely overhaul it) and protesting real, tangible injustices are not mutually exclusive goals. The ability and willingness, to stand up, for what's ethically right and just (even at a high cost), is something, he actually considers as a very much necessary part of character development. But none of this has anything to do, with 'victim mentality'. 'Victim mentality', is when you're a lazy, useless lout, who blames 'society' for their lack of sucess. When you're not even really trying, before you complain. And you know perfectly well, there are people like that if you have any life experience. Just as their people, who are genuinely and heartbreakingly disadvantaged by circumstances. But even for the latter, it's still the most sensible advice, to work their asses off and see, where that gets them, instead of resigning themselves to their situation. Peterson is a Psychologist. He tries to help people on an individual level. He's basically just telling people, what they should have been taught by their parents at about 5 years old. And it's actually a particularly important message exactly for disadvantaged people. Because it's the only realistic way for them, to actually improve their lot. What he says, works for a lot of people...many of them young men, who would otherwise have gone down a very unfortunate and self destructive path in life. How people can interpret that as him defending social injustices, is totally beyond me. Except of course, that most of them have never actually listened to the man and instead rely on dishonest, sensationalist media coverage for their 'information'.

@Janice Brown Beautifully said, Janice!

[@Carlawls]

This is incredibly powerful to me at this moment. That last few months, I've been trying to better myself and I've been doing a decent job at it I like to think, meditating nearly every day, been in the best shape I've been in, confidence in myself and my abilities. I've been trying to find spirituality within me and the signs are clearly directing me towards God. I've been on a mission at work to move up and I'm finally on the cusp of it. Yesterday I was hanging out with some co-workers (4 guys, 2 girls) from work at the beach (there's a girl that I was infatuated with that hangs out with this particular group of co-workers, I thought I would join in the hopes they would put in a good word for me). Anyways, we're there playing drinking games, getting high. They start talking about going back to their house, continuing the party and inviting more girls over. Suddenly I get this overwhelming feeling that I shouldn't put myself in that situation. I immediately start drinking water to sober up after realizing the co-worker that was supposed to drive me back home has been drinking this whole time. I can feel the mood start shifting, some of them start to peer pressure me into drinking more and whatnot but I hold fast and tell them I'm good. As we start to get ready to head out, I hear this seagull calling and I turn around to face it and I see it pecking at a book where these other beach goers were just moments ago. And I'm looking at this book and a thought pops into my head, "how weird to just leave a book laying here at the beach when they packed up all their stuff." I walk over to it and low and behold, it's the Holy Bible. I'm stunned. I pick it up and tell them what I found, I hear one of the girls say "ew." Not sure which one. Anyways, our group of guys start walking away, I still have the Bible with me and one of them ask me to read a verse from it. At random, I opened up the Book and I land on Proverbs 4:23, Warning Against Adultery 5. I couldn't be more thankful and blessed to have found this Book and I also wanna thank Jordan Peterson for the talks he's done and shared with all us. Be well, be blessed.

[@SpiritualFox]

@@ThePunter209 Don't be too hesitant at bringing your future into being. A noble aim for the individual (your work benefits the individual _and_ group (selfish _and_ good)) is how one surmounts obstacles, such as a lack of starting competency. 'Controlling the outcome' as you put it, _is_ something the new marxists want to do, and it _is_ because of their fascination with utopia, and their desire to hold established corporate power structures to their propagandist nonsense: that if only you do as you're told and consume products, your life will improve/attractive rich people will like you. Reading your comment, i feel validated about 'my' theory that most utopias are mostly subconscious projections of the family home, 'the king and the castle,' in which all things are designed for the benefit of the children of The Father, seemingly at an individual level (a sufficient definition of the family motif of The Gospel of Matthew, 7:7 (pray, and you certainly will receive)). What i mean by this ramble is that one, you, shouldn't 'wait for opportunity' like it's a sort of 'permission from God.' There's a vacuum in the world for men who understand that a hard work ethic, and a generous spirit, naturally generates the trappings of utopia (suburban middleclass family life) around that person. I think it's common in Jewish theology to regard heaven as a return to the garden of eden, and, i think there is something to that (at least it's more literal than the parody of King David's royal court that is Christian heaven), as an explanation of the afterlife. What i'm getting at is _role._ The inner child wants to return to the garden of eden, as the child. A man wishing for this finds himself alone- no God will appear to him until he looks closely in the mirror. -Horus

I think having an Aim is useful tool to help wondering mind to anchor to focus for littlewhile, but one day we have to let it go, we are learning & transforming through this process. the real aim is to liberate from that. We adapt & we are transformed. As Buddha said Nothing is permanent .

No one talking about the drawings too? Amazing work.

Im having to immigrate from my hometown in a very short notice to Africa at the age of 26. Ive already been living a few years unhappy, filling up the unhappiness with drugs and alchol. Ive became depressed lately and got suicidal toughts. Ive never felt so ashamed of myself but day by day I started to get the realisation that everything in life happens with a reason. Really, if i look back at all the events that happend in my life, everything happend with the reason to create my path. The ups and downs are part of it. All we can do is go with the flow… im leaving my hometown but I know that leaving will get me to better my life, I stopt fighting the idea and started accepting. Just flow…. My message to all: Ive recently switched from having suicidal toughts to feeling grateful to live because I started to understand the course of life… dont worry, trust the universe

Why we have to exists and go through all the pain?

Man I love Jordan Peterson!!!! One of my man crush!

[@maddie-bq3ir]

Even with an amazing family, loving siblings and limited but loyal friends, I still have overwhelming thoughts of committing suicide. I do believe my family is the only reason I’m still alive. I would absolutely hate to hurt my family like that. I sit and cry often, while acting strong as a rock in front of my peers. I’m so sorry to anyone feeling this way.
