Thanks for reminding that. I been having really tough times mentally, physically. And there's no one to go to. Thanks internet, you help me go another day. May you all find peace.
I know I'm commenting on your post 5 months later; but I just wanted you to know I understand...Me & my family have gone through some really hard times over the last couple of years. I've got chronic physical conditions that make life really hard, and then it wears on a person mentally, emotionally. Anyways, just wanted to say that I hope that things get better for you, and for all of us who are struggling.. I hope that many blessings & peace can come into your life. ☮🙏🏼💗
@@scottmarwood7654 thanks man, not saying it will get better straight away but time moves on and heals and I'm better now than 2 weeks ago still going through hell but it gets easier best of luck dude I'm rooting for you
Summary on ways to cope: 1. Shorten the timeframe of your perspective. Instead of thinking "how am I going to survive this for 1 year?", narrow it to just 1 month. If thinking of 1 month is hard, look forward to surviving the day. If the day is hard, look forward to surviving just the next hour. This helps alleviate unnecessary overthinking and suffering in the mind, AKA anxiety. Cut the timeframe until you can cope with it. 2. Be alert to the little beauties in life, the little things to be happy for. Look for glimpse lights, even if the tunnel is long and dark. 3. If it's tragic, at least don't make it hell. Try not make the situation worse than it already is, this helps us tolerate with things needed to be tolerated in the present.
To put it lightly I'm going through some very dark times with a lot of uncertainty on the horizon and I can say first hand this works if put into practice.
I love this man like a second father. So, unbelievably wise and has saved my life in my darkest moments. Just beautiful stuff and his book, 12 rules for life, is a masterpiece.
Ty Jordan immeasurably valuable,I began a very dark journey today but I know have a starting point and some introspective direction.I hope you realize how important what you do is.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Think about him in all your ways and he will guide you along the right paths
My father is on his deathbed. He has few weeks/months at most, and he is suffering a lot. He can't walk by himself, he can't eat or drink anything by himself, he can't go to washroom by himself either. It has been very tough on us, specially my mother, because she's close to 60 as well. So recently I have started to help around in taking him step by step from here to there. He let's all of his weight go on the person holding him, so it's very difficult to control him. My mother was going through sleepless nights and she's also a heart patient, so I realised that if I don't intervene and help, I might just end up losing both of them. This may sound brutal, but I'd rather have my father pass away after living his last few months and help him around, so my mom can take rest as well. This is the best decision there is to make. Life is fucking tough, but as long as I choose to be powerful, I'll come out victorious. Maybe with few scars, but victorious in the end.
@@karna5998 Im sorry for your loss. My brother died back in 2013 and as hard as it was I can say confidently that if you try, you’ll get through this. I still think about him and feel a wave of sadness, but I try to remember that nothing is forever. And even though he’s gone I’m thankful for the time we had. You’ll get through this ❤
@@sl33pyTea Thank you my friend, I'm doing pretty good, as long as I focus on doing things that are improving my life, I'm on a good path. I'm focused on taking care of my family in all ways, and each step I take feels good and meaningful. I wish you the best in life man. Have a great day.
@@BreakingImageFilms Hey, thanks for your comment, It reminded me that I posted this a year ago. I have a update. I am a very spiritual person, and so were my father and my ancestors. I've been guided and helped by multiple divine deities and right after my graduation, I landed a job. I had to shift 400 km (248 miles) for it, but everything was extremely convenient. My friends were already living in the city I shifted to, the flat was very near to my work location. After 6 months of working there, I was guided to switch the job, and I found a new better paying job (I cleared the interview being sleepless because I was creating an updated resume, preparing for the interview and doing certain rituals to take the blessings of the deities.) I've been working there and the environment is also great, the Team Leader is like an older brother to me and everyone are very friendly. I'm also guided by the deities that in the next few years i'll have very fast spiritual and material growth, and then I would have a lot of free time, which I would spend with my mother (she still lives in my home town, we meet once every month and we talk on call multiple times a day), and most of my time will be spent on my spiritual rituals which will help me create a stronger connection with multiple different deities, and they have many things to be carried out like helping/protecting people around me. Overall life's been great. I've learnt alot, became stronger, and the pain that I have gone through gave me strength and understanding which helps me to assist people going through tough times.
That’s facts. One gets caught up in these sort of time loops where we think the current circumstance can potentially be forever, but it’s a trap, such loops. If one gets caught up with that sort of thinking, good luck coming out alive.
Two days ago, I put a really soft blanket on my bed and it made me happy. Just the nice warm color makes me feel better already. I'm glad I atleast have a nice home so while shit is bad, I still have my safe space at home
Reminds me that it’s okay to shorten my bandwidth for whatever I’m dealing with. It’s okay to take time to walk away, and admire the simple beauties of life, especially during time of tragedy and hell, no matter how large the gap is Bloody miracles are possible Just gotta keep rowing
Many years from now, I believe people will look back and reflect on Peterson as our generation once reflected on Marcus Aurelius, Socrates, and many other groundbreaking philosophers.
Am taking care of my older sister.. she's very sick .. today we having CT scan of her Abdomen.. Doctor's x-ray scan found some big stones on her kidneys and urine blodder and uterus God give me strength she's very weak and iin lot of pain.. I need courage . Today is September 27 / 2023... Time 7:18am.. I pray by next year I would have passed through all this we and we will be happy people.
Anybody else having issues like he is describing? if so, please comment down below so we can perhaps feel less alone about taking life one week, one day, or one hour at a time! I wish you all the best!
i am at a period of time where i am very uncertain if i can survive this or not. I am a uni student, to study i prefer to have a clear mind. but this thing what is sort of ruining it is the job. I think i am a victim to a scam, i just wanted to make more money whilst studying. it is an online job, turns out they take my money but return back with some profit. Now they are asking for more money and i dont have much, so i am worried, because they are threatening me.
With the ridiculous cost of living these days it feels like im trying to swim in molasses trying to get ahead. Staying greatful gets harder. I just need to remind myself how much worse some people in "third world" countries have it and count my blessings. It does kind of feel like the American Dream is unattainable though. And all i want is a home and truck!
I can't do it...staying positive through difficult times is impossible. I reached a limit where I don't want to keep on living, why keep going? I'm not getting no where in life, I despise my family, I hate living in NYC, tired of paying bills and running errands nonstop. I can't think positive no matter how many times I tried, I feel rage and sadness. It's not worth living anymore
You can do this. Take whatever drastic measure you think is necessary to feel more positive, and focus on short term. Have a hot shower, get a warm drink and write some short term goals down. People care about you
@@FirstFloorGuru I don't care for people who I don't know. Short term goals you say...like what? I'm doing the same thing everyday and when I get a day off, I stay in bed and have no motivation to do anything. The positive stuff is impossible
Bruh you can't stay positive forever. I don't understand why people rely on positivity so much to be happy. Why don't you take it as this is my current life? Or as you've said, you're tired of it, why don't change your life? You live in a country full of opportunities.... Or America isn't what it actually is.

I hope you are okay now.
So true. Sometimes you can only handle the inch in front of you.

Do I really have the honor of being the first to comment?
Wow...
What do I say...?
I love you Dr. Peterson. Thank you.
It’s sad when you think about how amazing Mr Peterson is bless this man
My best friend died suddenly today. It is a dark time. Thankful for his memory and those small things in life.
i cant even imagine.....know this comment was a while ago but pray you are doing well
I love this guy...
Love love this guy. There will never be another person like him during our lifetime.
It is reasons like this man, why there is not more of these men. But they are out there. But he is very talented.
Yes there will be. Check Francesco Tonucci and his project about "City of Children" (his book).
This is how I get through it...I hr at a time..1 day at a time.Thats all I can manage right now but I'm still showing up and putting in the work
Thank you again Dr. Peterson, I've heard this several times from you....
