The World Shifts Itself Around Your Aim | Jordan Peterson | Best Life Advice

[@Jcrpdx]

I am 66 years old and I never heard anyone that can bring together ancient wisdom, religious principles, popular culture, psychology, biology and then produce a profound and useful insight that I can actually use in a practical way the minute after I hear him speak. His words are a gift to all of us who struggle with life's variables.

[@arhabersham]

The accuracy of your statement is only matched by the beauty of it’s succinctness! Thanks for posting 🌺

[@billybm0]

Very well said! Jordan has done a great good for many people. His skills in deduction and language are brilliant.

[@Jcrpdx]

@Word I did not write that Jordan Peterson is perfect, I wrote that his videos, have been very helpful to me in a very practical way. Quite unlike most professors & psychologists. Besides, many of the people that we admire because of their achievements & contributions, also have serious flaws. Have a great day.

Your comment reminded me one piece from JP speeches: “If you don’t follow the pathway that you suppose to follow, the seas will come stormy for you and something will come up and pull you down. And you will be in a terrible place for some length of time till you learn the lesson. And if get lucky you will be spit back up on shore and then you can go do what you should do.”

[@tristanramberg9608]

Growing up having never met my bio father, this man has given me more answers than any other. Saw a comment under one of his videos that said he’s the father to the fatherless generation and this idea genuinely resonates within me every moment I watch his videos. Thank you mr. Peterson for who you are and striving at your own personal “greatest good” aim

[@EldradHammer]

I have many people I call "internet dads" on youtube I go to for life advice. There is so many basic things my dad never even brought up or cared about that has left me lost for answers. Its shown me so much and makes me grateful for all of these amazing videos out there so we can go on fixing ourselves.

[@gee_]

Man I had the same thought while watching the video and before checking the comments. I was seperated from my bio parents at 6, 33 now and still feel that hole. I'd like to shake Dr. Petersons hand, thank him and give him a hug for offering even a glimmer of that role, be it unintentional.

[@pekka75]

[@mitchellaquilino7832]

Yes sir

[@jrboudreau]

Willy Ghost I admit that I’m guilty. I listen to his audio book on a routine basis. These videos help. I’m getting there.

[@hkharris92]

@jack bran Dr. Peterson was prescribed a highly addictive anti-anxiety medication to help cope with the stress of his wife having cancer and multiple complications with the treatment. Deciding to check oneself into rehab to have professionals help you get off them isn't something I would exactly call "being a junkie"

[@sbeast64]

“All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

[@missionpupa]

That makes no sense to me especially since Peterson's words are always encouraging, why would anyone disagree with that?

[@NoAimNoGain]

This is probably the best description I've heard to the so called "law of attraction".

[@markothwriter]

This is perhaps the best - really profound. Aim at the star and the steps will be provided for you. Aim at the mudpuddle in front of you and you might stumble into it. So, aim high, and do the most good.

[@piercehawthorne8124]

I am your father!

[@EzerEben]

For many of us whose dads shrugged their fatherly responsibilities, Mr. Peterson fills that missing paternal role in our lives really well, if only in limited extent. YinYangHomebwoy , you "should really stop" telling people what they should do in absence of some reasonable explanation. And try to get to know us a bit better before giving us advice.

[@benjaminkuti2009]

@@EzerEben Who said I was giving advice? I just said people should stop calling his father. It's ok to respect the man and take on his advice, but alot of people calling his "father" Sounds like brainwash worship or just something obsessive. Appreciate his contribution, no need to exaggerate him as a cybernet father.

[@EzerEben]

​ @YinYangHomebwoy , 1. "People should stop..." sounds like advice to me. 2. Brainwash worship? Don't be a smug little prig.

[@scopesfn2100]

I despise those who dislike Jordan! He can talk for hours and yet I won’t get sick of it!

[@domzbu]

Some people aren’t ready for it, or willing to face the challenge. Peterson speaks to those who are willing to confront themselves and look into their own darker corners and recesses. It takes a certain amount of courage.

[@brianbennett5887]

Please stay healthy Jordan May the Lord shine His face upon you May the Lord of heaven and earth set a strong hedge of protection. Around you and your family Please keep pointing to God the Father Jesus His son is simply the only hope of the world ..... We thank you for all your hard work Jordan . We love you !

[@tunaste]

This is a very good one. I love the rationale, “what better do you have to do?” Reason enough to dedicate yourself fully.

[@authenticallytrish]

Your aim in life should always be toward the highest good possible. Chasing after stability, a “future”, what my parents advised, has always been less than satisfying.

This is what I have been attempting to do since I retired eight years ago. And in my life, the words of Christ have been borne out. I live well. I’m retired. And I didn’t earn what I have. Except to earnestly attempt to do the will of God as much as humanly possible. With periods of stumbling and failure, of course. But my Father loves me and he will never forsake me.

[@paulpaulson5008]

JP presents the challenge, yet again, to become an overcomer, and thus a better person. Always it’s the concept of rising out of the ashes of despair through choice to make life better. Thank you.

[@titancloud]

I’ve read this many times and missed the kicker all my life. Aiming at the highest possible good is an antidote for worry. Thank you Jesus.

[@mitchellaquilino7832]

I dont know why people dislike this amazing gift of a man! Jordan Peterson is awesome

[@rsmith155]

Because he tells people that they aren't as good as they ought to be, and that's a rough thing to hear and know it to be true. Instead of resolving to work harder in their lives, they take the easy way out and attack the messenger.

[@romans8024]

He aims at victim perspective with what he has. And commands to take responsibility. And whoever is in that group, they think that their power over things is in danger.

Play the life game earnestly, but not "seriously" Its fun. -Alan Watts, paraphrased.

[@DDoms99]

I listened to Alan Watts intensively few years ago. He really isn't that helpful. I was nihilistic and my psyche was freaking out whenever I wasn't "in the moment". He never considered having an aim in life to be important. His almost whole idea is the acceptance that life has no meaning. After listening to Peterson, I lost that feeling of freaking out and now I know that you need both - presence and aim.

Perhaps it's all there, in those pages; simplicity - in he's 12 rules for life or self authoring program. We all have our dreams, hopes and fairytales; yet it seems we don't carry them out. Even if we did, we would have to limit ourselves to a few of them. Jordan has also spoken about chronic depression vs being depressed due to circumstances in one's life. I believe this is crucial to understand, in order to achieve what Jordans presenting in this video. Actually I am not even gonna continue my argument, its way too complex or perhaps too chaotic. As you see: I cannot even finish a hundred word youtube comment smoothly. I could mention many different solutions to my problem, but theyre blurry and I am lazy. I am not living a horrible life in turmoil and chaos. But a few years of higher education, would give me an enormously much better life. Yet, I don't do it. I am soon 26, and Im getting tired of not "doing my best." Although i often lack energy, I could do more! How? How? How? When? When? When? Edit: typos

To the question of life’s fairness and the people that have been born into situations that are unfair. No one deserves anything, your responsibility is to aim upward (invest your talent and what little you’ve been given). Your most important stewardship that you must maintain at all costs is your heart and it’s posture (the condition of your soil upon receiving the seed). No matter the external conditions (Job), your only responsibility is your heart and it’s focus (who sits on the throne of it) from which everything else flows 1:31|2:07 how can you know this is true before you pursue it? You can’t know, and no one can tell you it is either, you have to pursue it in faith for yourself, that’s what faith is
