Identify what kind of a person you want to be, and then try to be that kind of a person. You can have "what you want" goals, but make sure "who you want to be" is more important than "what you want". ❤

This! Commenting for reference so I didn't lose this.

Mr Peterson. I really enjoy listening to your outlook on many subjects. You sir have an amazing brilliant mind. I want to thank you for letting the public listen to you point of view. God has truly given you an amazing thought provoking mind. God bless you and your family.

[@unbrokenspine]

I think the highest value I can find is peace of conscience. Jordan mentions this often, and I agree with him. To be able to say that I did my best before I died and I have no regrets. To be able to live without violating my own uniqueness, without violating the uniqueness of others.

[@ransombodeen1415]

I suppose the strength of this idea would depend on the distinction they made in the video with regard to not feeling a certain way after having obtained a desired goal. If the emotion is the byproduct of an accomplishment then it's set to fade, but if it is part of the pursuit, perhaps it can stand the test of time. Peace itself does seem to have a conditional aspect to it, at least partly. Although meditatively we may establish a strong front, nonetheless, it seems to me we're constantly faced with unforeseen tasks which suddenly demand our attention or destabilize the very peace we aim for.

[@JessicaFayToday]

"The probability that you'll be happy because you've accomplished something, in any permanent sense, is virtually zero...That isn't what positive emotion is for. Positive emotion is to indicate that you're making progress towards a valued goal...A satiation reward, which would be the accomplishment of something, calms you and stops that program from running...It leaves you without a goal. And it also leaves empty space." -JP Pursuing something = Rush

[@calebdoner]

Our goal needs to be a personal identity, not a set of external circumstances. I have chased external circumstances more than I would like to admit. It is dominated by a feeling of inadequacy before reaching the goal and lostness and lethargy after. When the goal is an identity of a man who approaches problems with courage, vigor, and truth, then the external circumstances fade in importance.

[@sideofcaution]

See this is why I read the comments. Often I get as much, if not more, out of other viewers’ input than just the video itself. This comment from you is huge for me. TYVM

[@MrJamesC]

The film "soul" shows very well that we are not happy forever when we realize our dream. We have to look for the next mountain and climb it.

[@kevinkelly2162]

Anybody expecting or even looking for 'happy forever' knows nothing about being human.

[@g3nj1]

Have you ever reached a goal like that? Have you ever achieved your dream? I understand that humans need something to work towards, and I completely agree, but life would be a million times better if I could achieve just one of my goals. Not working for someone else. Not having to live in debt paycheck to paycheck. I have no idea what it would be like to achieve such a dream, but I'm sure it would be better than where I am now... That's why people are motivated to achieve goals in the first place. If you keep up with that mindset you could potentially subconsciously be afraid of achieving your dreams for fear of not knowing what to do after. Don't let a dramatic representation of someone else's idea stop you from achieveing your dream...

[@dcbeats168]

Is that the Disney movie? I loved that one I’m sure we all know someone who feels like 22

[@MrJamesC]

[@futureselfnow]

i certainly did not get the message from the incredible film “soul” that you need to look for the next mountain to climb. not in the least. that he realizes his dream and isnt fulfilled is true, but he also realizes by 22’s example that by being in constant pursuit of a dream or purpose we usually miss out on where life actually happens which is the present moment. and that there is immense beauty in life right in the present moment. by looking, and using our senses, and truly being present, its a joy to be alive. thats what gets dulled over.

[@paulsaulpaul]

I want us all to stop thinking we are insignificant in this universe. Because it is used to shirk responsibility for pain caused to others. We are nodes in a network, and the influence we have the potential to have on the entire network is equal among us all and not reserved only for the loudest among us. I weep when I consider how my actions have affected so many tens of thousands of people in some way that no one but God is even aware of. Technically, every breath I exhale affects everyone in the world to some degree, like the "butterfly effect". I'll call it The Flatus Effect. The sense of scale is overwhelming when you realize how significant your potential is, for good or evil, in this universe. This is why Jordan weeps when he is told by you or me of how he has impacted our lives in such an incredible way. The sense of scale in his good works is overwhelming. We all need to realize it works in the evil direction, too.

I feel like a lot of the common goals that people impose on themselves aren't things that they truly desire but are rather expectations of what others want for them or what the person thinks success looks like. It's like the kid who spent his entire life chasing a particular careerpath because they thought it would make their parents proud when in reality they walk into work every day being miserable despite thinking that it was what they wanted.

Obfuscating your goals and dreams is a really good way to put it. JP makes it sound like this is something conscious though, like it is something you can choose to not do. But you can't. When you're in the fog you're in the fog. He does in the end give a useful suggestion on how you get out - I really really like his suggetion of focusing on the highest goal - making yourself the person who takes on the challenges of life is a superb goal, and one that will make the subordinate goals fall into place much easier. One of the greatest JP clips - and that's saying something. Thank you JP a sub well earned

[@PhilWP]

You should read his book: 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos. He delves deeper in to this exact topic.

[@FEJK82]

After decades of introspection, it seems that what I really want is to be at peace. While I do crave inspiration, love, and something to fight for (or against) - what they have given me (the few brief times I have had those things, what I got from it all was peace... So peace must be what I am actually after. Right? Okay, so how do I get that again, when I seem to avoid everything that will bring me closer to that? I probably need someone who cares enough about me to put a hand on my back, giving me encouragement & reason to take on the struggle... as it seems I can longer do it on my own. Maybe having something to do is not as good as having a reason to do something.

[@buttbuttwhat1]

I have the same issue. I wish I had a solution so I could share, but at least we’re not alone in that. I’ve been taught to repress emotions that feel powerful (unless angry, then passively vent that and take it out on those around me). I’m unlearning this, or at least trying to. I really feel like I don’t have a sense of self because of it. I don’t want or need anything. I’m not even convinced on being alive (though I wouldn’t do anything to change that). I just felt an emotion in my stomach, just tonight, that I’m acting on. It was a good emotion, but one that I normally would have tied to being selfish or idealistic. I’m for once running with it. I’ll let you know how it goes (if I remember). Cheers. Good luck and God bless.

Even if it's not where you want to be. Every season serves a purpose. Never stop doing your best. Just because someone doesn't give you credit. When you’re weak, pray to God. When u re worried, pray 2 God. When you’re stressed, pray to God. When you are hopeless pray to God. God will put you where he wants you. Even if no one thinks you deserve the position.

- (00:00) People struggle to articulate what they truly want, often filling the void with distractions like addictions, hobbies, or dopamine-driven activities, as society lacks a shared vision of where it is heading. - (01:04) When driven by what you *don’t* want, it leads to negative emotions like anxiety and depression, whereas positive emotions come from pursuing a positive, visionary goal. - (03:06) Asking micro-level questions like, "What kind of job or friendships do you want?" helps people articulate their desires and develop a clearer vision for their lives. - (07:54) Achieving a goal doesn't lead to lasting happiness; positive emotion comes from making progress towards a valued goal, not from the goal’s accomplishment. - (12:00) High-order goals, such as being a person who confronts life's challenges voluntarily, provide a deeper sense of purpose and ongoing fulfillment than specific, concrete goals.

How do you know your want is true to you and not just taught/imposed on you by external sources. This is where knowing your feelings/boundaries/values is important. Unfortunately many are programmed at an early age and may never know their truth. There's also the issue that if your society/culture has unhealthy values , what then? Many teachings suggest that humans ultimate goal is self actualization/realisation, soul embodiment. This is human evolution and Maslow was on to it with his work on Hierarchy of Needs.

This is good stuff. I find it interesting how so many of our current social phenomena come back to "the death of God" (lack of a higher order structure, or idealized objectives). It is in many ways unfolding exactly as Nietzsche envisioned, although I think Nietzsche's proposed solution of substituting the worship of the self for the worship of God (i.e. the collective subconscious) was whacked. Jung had a better solution, but because Jung spoke of frameworks like architypes and other structures that mostly exist in the mind as interpretive tools, he's fallen out of favor in the popular pseudoscience of postmodernism that currently dominates our society.

Why don’t I know. Because life is never ONE thing at a time. It would be easier to start with a clean slate at this point. The weirdest thing I’m dealing with is a strange awareness that everything I want to do requires ten other things to be done first. My own doing, but it becomes a separate foe after awhile. It’s like being forced to think backwards in order to move forward. It’s unsettling, and it’s why I am focusing on your ‘do one thing that you can and will do’ approach. But some days, it’s like this: move table to other room (easy enough); wait, must first clean off chair in other room so I can move it out of the way for table; no, first have to move shelf in third room to make room for chair; no, can’t until I disassemble shelf first….and it’s like….why is everything an endless pit of backwards? I just want to move one damn table. It’s like a nightmarish tale of the old lady who swallowed a fly. I think I swallowed a nightmarish sadness, that’s what landed me here. A fine string of losses, one after the other for ten years. Still, I’ve also had enormous, outrageous blessings during this time, so let’s not forget the guilt. Sadness is hard to shake off. It’s comfortable and warm, suffocating, but familiar. You breathe its breath long enough and it becomes your own. Eventually, I get myself together and start with disassembling the shelf and have the project done in a couple of hours. I used to go non-stop from 5am to midnight some days, I loved it, but my industriousness flew out the window. I think people just break sometimes. So right, an end goal of success should not be the highest order goal. If I can (and I will) get all this stuff organized around me, and throw off this sadness, then I can at least get back to a book I was writing - that was a pleasure and a purpose for me. And so as not to end up in the belly of a whale, start talking again about what God has put on my heart. That’s a dragon I am not ready for yet. The danger is, the whale will devour me from behind if the dragon doesn’t. Maybe that’s what he’s waiting for…let the dragon flambé me and the whale can finish me off. Tasty. You can understand this: the higher we progress up the ladder, the more intelligent our enemies become. This truth functions in the natural domain and the spiritual domain. As if people aren’t hard enough to deal with, we must also contend with invisible forces at play. And may God help us when we are our own enemies.

[@ashleygatewood]

I was looking through Japanese art illustrations this morning; there were dragons and other creatures, along with a phoenix, and I had a mini revelation. I looked up ‘Japanese dragon and phoenix art’ and there they were, hundreds of them fighting in circles. I thought, the dragon is helpless really. The phoenix can’t die by fire. So, instead of slaying the dragon with my own strength, why not just let the Spirit burn up my current form while in the presence of the dragon. Move forward, stare him right in his face, and let God set me on fire, (sacrifice - begin doing what I don’t really want to do, which will burn off what I don’t want to let go of) thus consume the dragon in the flames during the process. He’s only sealing his own fate if he tries to defeat me with fire, so he’s not so tough or scary. It’s like what Christ did through the Cross to defeat Satan, the devil thought he had won, but he was only sealing his own fate. “…and having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in [the Cross].” I don’t even have to fight the dragon really. Just allow the fire to consume me and him, rise out of my ashes, and sift through the dragon’s pile of ashes to collect the gold.

I really like the way you think, I see overlap between myself and you (even tho I'm sure we are very different). I've recently been dealing with issues that seem very similar to that "backwards approach" example you gave...it's jarring cause things weren't always this way, I know what's causing it, but I can't fully go back it seems.

[@ashleygatewood]

@@Alienrun Thanks for sharing your thoughts Alienrun. That dragon/phoenix rev actually worked for me. I prayed and visualized that scenario over the following days and was emboldened enough to make the sacrifice and move forward in that situation. It’s powerful when God sets us on fire! I’m still working on the backwards progression to move forward trap. ‘Jarring’ is a great word for it. And right, it’s the inability to reach back far enough in order to move forward. Bizarre. Like, how did I get here? I’m ready to throw everything in tubs and put them in storage. But that makes me angry too soooo. I just don’t get why I can’t move all this ’stuff’ out from under me. I’m like an archeologist digging through my own buried life. Interesting tidbit: I looked further into the Phoenix and Dragon duo following that vision. They are actually Chinese symbols of lovers in harmony. Who would have thought? It makes perfect sense because they are perfectly balanced for each other. The Phoenix still has the slight upper hand though…

What humans really want (at least at their most core level even if they don't realize it) is not just real specific items or even scenarios necessarily. What we really want is to fully belong to a loving God and be fully intertwined into a a loving people who shine the radiance of that God. We want community and to be fulfilled by the One Who actually Created us. He made it to where our deepest longing and need is actually Him. But He also designed us for community and to belong so deeply to it, to a people who love each other with the same astonishing love they have from God meaning they would lay their lives down for one another.

We’re all in the same boat in a way. With different ambitions and desires. It’s not so much greed with me because I’ve largely got what I want already. Except for the woman, which is a minefield for me. I’m a workaholic and “my sacrifice” has chosen me. If I add women to the mix, it’s too complicated. Yes, I should back off on the work front now, but women are still a high maintenance minefield if you have competence and good abilities. So it’s a different Dragron now, actually crouching tigresses………. And you are the “hidden dragon” in plain sight!

[@paulsaulpaul]

Ask and you will receive if what you ask for is truly righteous and of benefit to everyone, regardless of any self-deception. All sin is a lie and all lies start within the self. Temptation, for example, is giving into the self-deception that you need the dopamine dump from it without sacrificing anything for it. When people pray for things that they do not get, I wonder if they are honest to themselves about how truly self-serving their prayer is and how what they are asking for effects every single individual and atom in the universe, let alone every person's life. To be self-centered in this regard is why people fail to see that their prayer requests are unreasonable. I have many prayers answered daily often of insignificant things, because at this stage in my spiritual development I can more easily comprehend the impact, and they are reasonable for God to answer them. LIke this container I have in front of me was perfect for a task the other day. I need it to be as small as possible to hold something I was going to soak to use as little liquid as possible. Totally insignificant. Plenty of other containers, and this is isopropyl alcohol. Not exactly liquid gold. I find it and it looks too small by like maybe a few millimeters. It was the first random thing I found. I said to God it would be pretty cool to testify that you bent time and space to make this container work for this task! That was the prayer. Seconds later, I walked to the other room and the object fit perfectly like to less than a millimeter tollerance. Prayer was answered, and this is the first time I testify about it. Everything I wanted, because it was righteous and had the side effect of benefiting me in my task. Consider, like the concept in the "butterfly effect" movie series, how many things on the level of intercontencdenss through time and space did he get all the things to correlate, designers, factories, supply chains, stuff that occurred decades ago. I don't even know when or how I got this plastic square junk container. Someone no longer in my life bought it. And why did they choose this one then? But he did all this, in what we comphened as "the past", just to answer my prayer that I would have something to testify to. But this happens literally daily for things big and small. I thank him, and I spend my entire day with him and we talk all day. I have hyper-salience tendencies (which makes it difficult for me to communicate with others) and I'm able to work alone and at home and independently without a boss, so I have this luxury of mind and situation to make this easier. But it is possible for everyone. Thank you for reading.

[@gentile-for-Jesus_Messiah]

@@lailaalkassabi3933 Thank you so much for your kind reply... I do believe that Jesus simply ask us to pray in His name,,, but I don't remember anything in the Holy Bible suggesting that God will provide for us by simply asking for it...

I want to prevent nuclear war so we as a species don't die on a rapidly dying planet. I want to cure diseases that the world is struggling to figure out. I want to use Artifical intelligence as a tool to sequence my dna to cure my diseases so my brain stops melting. I want to save my family and that family is the world, and every single person on it. And I understand that sometimes, that means saving the world from itself. The 7 virtues and the 7 sins that reside within the heart of human kind. I want to understand the biological motivators for revenge. I want to show people who have no hope or are possed by revenge or ideologies that there is a better way. To save the world from it's self, Even if that means dying while trying. Standing up to the bully to save the species.

A scared, traumatized and ridiculously sad young man just trying to make the world a better place without getting assassinated or dieing in a freak accident or some drug overdose. God, in my opinion, always thought he was better than everyone. To appoint himself as divine judge. As people say "be teachable". It's very self absorbed to think of ones self as a god but l really quite like the quote that Nietzsche once said, "all the heavens and all the hells reside within me.". I don't think I'm better than everyone. I just have this thing where if I see a problem, I want to fix it. Help it, understand it. Get engrossed and obsessed with it. Wrestle with it. If I was immortal, it would give a human like the the time needed to fix all my mistakes and fix others mistakes and potentially even heal the world. But if I was immortal, and the news that immortality was indeed a real thing, Then evenvody would be trying to become immortal to preserve their life and feed their selfish self interests, The seven holy virtues are as much a threat because of "thinking like Tesla, the current or channel of narcissism or rather, ego would become so inflated." That the horrors they would bring about would be potentially even more horrendous than the threats or the 7 deadly sins.
