My gratitude for this man is unreal. When I first discovered his videos, I was a sad, hopeless drug addict, selfish father, and my demons got me in a position where I was homeless and everything was dark. I found the light, and made the best out of what I had, with his words being my beacon of light to outshine the darkness. Now I am back in college, slowly gaining strength on my life, and I am sober going on 2 years. Thank you for everything you do for this world. We appreciate you, even if some dont.
I am also sober for 2 years. Almost died from alcoholism at 28 years old…. So crazy to look back at and think I almost killed my self young to such a dumb vice and reason. Stay strong! Your fellow sober brethren are out here and when we cross paths we always lift each other up. Keep going! You are NOT alone!
My heart and prayers are with you fellow addict ( in the best terms of course!)! Love is out there for all of us, dont let your self-condemnation give you fear. You can do anything! Put your steps together. One day at a time. Much love! ❤
I sit at home alone, I've 2 daughters but hold them away. Drinking alone not good . I function work full time don't drink days I work,I'm trying to stop know it's killing me the amount I drink, bloody hard
@@philipevans1027 Hello from Las Vegas. I too am here alone w/my drug of choice. I'm alone because everyone's dead. The little family I have built over the last 30yrs. My son died April 28th of 2020 of a cocaine/fentanyl overdose...he would have been 25 on June 3rd. It was just after lockdowns began so there was no hug or kiss goodbye, then his wife of a whole 2yrs, decided we didn't need any of his ashes either. She also kept our 2 grandchildren from us. July 15th the following year her mother decided to take the oldest boy on a trip to Kansas to visit a relative of theirs. When they got there everyone was tired so they all layed down for a while. Well, apparently our grandson got up before everyone else walked into the backyard and drowned in their pool...he was only 3yrs old. That was 2021. Fast forward to last weekend and I discovered my husband dead in bed. He just turned 60 Nov 9th. He literally walked in, took his clothes off and fell into bed and died! 18pk a day for 20+ yrs now....with a sprinkling of hard stuff now and again. He never thought just beer would kill him. As long as he stayed away from the hard stuff. He too was not only functional but productive for many years has a great pension he only got to enjoy for 4yrs. I gotta tell you what really sticks out in my mind is how mean he's been in the last few years. And he wasn't rembrring things quite the way I did. I swear he knew....there were little things...,???Now I sit here, in a mountain of paperwork, drowning in grief that, I swear is going to swallow me whole any minute now! I have so many phone calls to make to people I don't want to talk to, but if I want to try and save this house I have to get pensions rolling and social security and bank accounts it's really all just a blur right now. Too much. Really surreal. So do me a favor and you hold, hug, kiss and smother those little angels of yours with everything you've got. Try and picture waking up tomorrow w/o them in your life. And then love and hug them again! Stay strong and keep fighting the good fight for you and when that's not enough for those two little angels that are depending on you to show them the ways of this world. Show them all you've learned in this world and all that you would change to make it a better place for them. Show them what patience and kindness and compassion are all about. Bet you too could use a bit of all of the above right about now huh? Tell me about it!! Don't know why I felt the need to reach out, if you made it to the end thanks for reading. Always remember, you will continuously surprise yourself w/ strength you never knew you had. Trust me. Your ok now and you'll be alright an hour from now. Write me back. Give them a bath. Listen to your fav song FULL BLAST!! SCREAM INTO A PILLOW WHen everything seems just too dam frustrating. Then LOVE YOURSELF. Ssshhhh. Just love it all.... As my son used to say alot " you got this!" You do got this. Good luck to you sweetheart. Now go kiss those girls and you have a bloody good one! Your friend across the pond?....Sherry♥️✌️😉♥️
Even without intending to he helped so many when he revealed his suffering with Xanax and akathesia. He's given hundreds of 10000's of people a voice and validation (myself included) Bringing renewed light to the fact that those drugs are hell bound. He's a brilliant man, no doubt about it. I'm so glad he is evidently making a full recovery.
Peterson’s point about sitting on your bed and honestly asking what you're doing wrong really hit home. Sometimes the answers we’re avoiding are exactly what we need to hear for real change
@@corindawestover1275really hard to say cause any good psychologist will tell you even a relatively seemingly small experience can offset the mind and well being.
I am a woman and have been following and practising the work of this man for almost 2 years. Sitting here right now, I am handling my life more successfully than ever before. Good, bad & ugly. There is nothing I could say to thank him enough.
I’m 44 following him for 4 years now he saved my life in every way that matters. Went back to uni did two years I’m taking a break at the minute but following all of my dreams and being a better mother also life could not be any better !
That last phrase man.. “you’re here to live, not to sleep” that hit home. I’ve been in a chronic depression most days and can’t find myself to get out of bed and feel like I can sleep for eternity. I’m 26 and I can’t believe how much time I’ve wasted in my own sorrow. However I am slowly and surely finding myself. Thank you Mr. Peterson no one has the impact that you have had on my life.
It is only a waste if you fail to learn from your sorrows and by the sound of it you are, how ever slowly. Don’t thank mr Peterson, thank the spiritual guidance that placed him along your path. Blessings on your path towards enlightenment. The energy will be with you, just ask for it. Please Mother Nature provide me the energy to take the next step, never allow fear of making the wrong step stop you, even if it a step in the wrong direction.
Even trees lose their leaves. However, seasons change. Your condition will change too. Please seek professional help and start building slowly. Hoping that you are already a bit better. The only constant in life is change. And sometimes you need these dark times to find out what you are really seeking in life. It is not YOU vs depression. Think of depression as an ally. Your body warns you that the course of your life is a bit off the right course. Few changes are needed. You will be able to make them slowly, of course with social support and professional help. Start by simple things. Try to wash the dishes, cook for yourself, get some sunshine, or make a 20-minute walk, or read a few pages from a book. Whatever it is, please believe that it is not permanent. Countless people have been in this situation and have gotten out of it. It might feel that right now you're in the eye of a cyclone, but trust me, the best things are yet to come. Love yourself. Award yourself with every little progress you make. It is not the right time to be strict with yourself, however, you might set tiny goals.
I am 28 and have gone through the same phases . You ll come out of this, that's for sure. The only thing here is that you wake up stronger and make the decisions which will change your life for the better. Don't get stuck in a cycle ❤
The power of the spirit is finite, but the power of the Holy Spirit is limitless! Don't get me wrong, we all have strong spirits, but all, fall and fade out inevitably. The Holy Spirit will sustain you beyond, way beyond what your own spirit can imagine. Simply trust and obey. God bless.
I am 31, "failed former gifted kid" laid off from my corpoate position of 8 years and beginning my hero's journey of self improvement and enlightenment. I hope it's not too late. Pray for me
You're only 31 bro with your whole life still in front of you. Keep fighting and in a year you'll be grateful that corporation fired you so you could find something better.
"This world need us now more than ever" couldn't be said better, we are living in dark times and the world is so full of hate and violence. We need leaders like this man to guide us away from pessimism and negative action/thinking/speaking.
When I was at the darkest time of my addiction, I would play videos like this for hours in the background. One day, I quit my addiction and stepped out into the light that was shining through my darkness that was called on by his words. Since, I’ve been sober and finished two masters and started doctoral studies today. Looking back over the last two years, I’m overwhelmed at the deep truth, power and impact these types of videos have had on my life. Go on Dr. Peterson! Onward and upward my friends!
"You should be better than you are. But it's not because you are worse than other people. It's because you are not everything you should be."- Jordan Peterson... I'm 20 years old , and I have been struggling with motivation, lacking discipline, and tried several times to develop self discipline. I have watched several motivational videos, and they didn't work out for me. But I have watched this video, and it's different from other motivational videos, it has more detail and it has just enlightened new perspectives of life for me. I believe that this is more than just a motivational video. Thanks to Jordan Peterson, he has just impacted my life as well.
It’s never about the words you hear on a TH-cam video but the words you tell yourself on a regular day basis. These videos can give you temporary motivation and make you feel like you’re ready to turn everything around but eventually the feeling fades. You don’t need videos so much as you need the lessons you can learn from them. The real change and growth comes from your ability to self critique and talk to yourself in an honest and productive way, holding yourself accountable without shaming yourself. Putting the past behind and focusing on the future.
Jordan Peterson helped me get clean off fentanyl! 53 days off that! I’m not frozen anymore! Particularly this video! I never met him, although I’m obsessed with his knowledge. It’s gave me new tools I needed for life! God Bless you Jordan Peterson ❤
I'm soooooo very proud of you!!!! Jesus Christ, man!!! It's not easy letting things go, especially when they help us cope in many different ways. I'm literally contemplating quitting drinking Alcohol daily (I'll elaborate) because of this vid..... and I'm only 10:18min in 🥹😰 Elaboration: I work 7 days a week, 4 jobs. All of them w/ UPPETTIES/BUBBLE-HEADS/RICH/WEALTHY/ENTITLED.... Pretty much: "Higher Power WITHOUT knowledge" **It's like walking on egg shelfs without cracking them, yet still NOT GOOD ENOUGH type of situations that make me drink as soon as I get off work.
Just turned 50. Not diagnosed with ADHD till I was 39 which has blighted all my life. Listern and read Dr Peterson every day. Some of it must brush off on my and sink in eventually. Day 1 Week 1. Every day.
jordan peterson is the male role model voice a lot of us men lacked. its so refreshing to hear Dr. Peterson articulate this general knowledge irrespective of background.
It's interesting even as a woman with a "good" father, the father archetype in my psyche is very wounded. (My father has lots of unresolved stuff) However, I find listening to JP over the years has seemed to help my align that part of my psyche with a healthier masculine role model as well.
I have to slap my head so hard whenever I read the comments on a JP clip... it's literally only less than .01% of the population who recognize that he's just a banker shill. He's working for people trying to betray your trust and take all your knowledge, work and sanity because yes, they are that malevolent. Keep closing your eyes and ears, I'm done trying to explain to people who to trust, it should be goddamn obvious you can't trust JP. He sided with the people who tried desperately to inject you with multiple toxic bio-weapons for 2+ years. How in the world can you put your trust into that??? Stop defending evil people because they don't mean you well. They're trying to divide the population against itself by teaching them to adopt slave philosophy - i.e. existentialism. That's what Jordan is teaching, not the philosophy of the agrarian communities for example of 100+ years ago because that makes you independent. Jordan doesn't want you to be independent, not until you're old and it's too late to enjoy life and all your money has to be wasted on healthcare.
Dr. Peterson helped me completely change my trajectory in life. Combat vet diagnosed with PTSD and depression got out of the army and I was just lost. Alcoholic living at my parents house, no direction and hopeless. Fast forward to today, amazing wife, 3 kids, great career, back in school using my GI bill and starting up a small business. I can’t thank him enough.
41 days sober! I’m trying to take it day by day. I really want to be further along than I am right now. But I know I have no other choice. From burning my brain by Injesting alcohol / instant dopamine activities. My attention span and and will power are so low. But I have to remember. One day at a time.
Age is just a number, my grandpa is 97 and he is struggling physically and mentally, but he is rock solid when it comes to hope and faith and I pray you keep trying, even if it is one step forward two steps back at times. Good luck and know that you are capable of incredible things, even if you don''t see it right now. 🙏
Hey there, sending you a gigantic hug. Im here in London uk..47 and struggling too. You are not alone and you are stronger than you know and worthy of ALL the love in the universe. ❤
@@MustafaAshah-el9nc thank you! You are correct and thank you for enlightening me - your eyes saw my blindspot! Praise God! This is why humility snd compassion are so important. Thank you three times!
Great video! Sadly, my two-year relationship ended a month ago. The person I thought was the love of my life decided to leave, and I’m still deeply in love with him. I can’t stop thinking about him, and despite all my efforts to win him back, nothing has worked. I feel so frustrated and can’t imagine being with anyone else. No matter what I do, he’s always on my mind, and I miss him terribly.
Letting go of someone you love is incredibly hard. I went through a similar experience when my twelve-year relationship ended. I couldn't bear to lose him, so I did everything I could to rekindle our relationship. Eventually, I sought the help of a spiritual counselor, who guided us back together.
I remember a few years ago; I was at a bit of a crossroads in my life. I was feeling stuck and not really sure where I was headed. That's when I stumbled upon Jordan Peterson's work. His emphasis on personal responsibility really struck a chord with me. It was like a wake-up call to take charge of my own life. So, when I see a video titled "Jordan Peterson: Fix Yourself Before It's Too Late," it resonates with me. It's a reminder that we all have the power to make positive changes in our lives, no matter where we're starting from. It's about taking those small steps towards self-improvement and growth. Thanks for sharing this message, and here's to all of us working on fixing ourselves for a brighter future!
There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.
"You should be better than you are. But it's not because you are worse than other people. It's because you are not everything you should be."- Jordan Peterson // That made me realise the lost potential of so many individuals that I've encountered throughout my travels, most at the last chapter of their lifespan! It is our moral obligation to thrive and better ourselves and show god the beauty of his creation.
Life is a game, many games. You just have to play the right game, the game that will lately give you a positive surprize. You'll never shake the dice but you can predict your odds by your actions.
This is something I will never forget. Say what you want about Jordan Peterson but his ability to craft language into powerful hope and inspiration is unmatched.
Just starting this video and I imagine it will be good or great! Jordan Peterson spoke some real truth to me in 2020. I decided to check myself into a detox center because my relationship with alcohol was toxic. I was tired of disappointing the people I love. He helped me begin a journey of healing and loving myself. If you don’t love yourself you really can’t love anyone. Thank you Jordan!!! I’m now a light that hopefully reflects to some lost soul
Jordan has gained my Respect. He's one of the few men of status that actually have a voice of reason amidst this chaos...I don't want to waste my life either. I'm almost 32 now, the time for me to pursue my Goals is NOW....Even if the half the world attempts to road block me, I will still reach my goals.
Dr. Peterson is the embodiment of selflessness and genuine love for his fellow man. He has amassed a tremendous amount of understanding for human behavior for the sole purpose of sharing it with the world so that we may better understand ourselves and the world around us. Thank you for your brilliance, your compassion, and your tireless pursuit to enlighten those who are struggling so that they may walk with their heads held high, confident in their value and purpose. Thank you
Having finished sober october, I went out for a staff halloween party. I woke up this morning with a lack of memories, a few regrettable flashes, a sore head and complaining gut. Man, what a reminder as to why: why to stop performing these stupid behaviours; what the cost is of short term entertainment. This seems like a truly destructive force in my life, and thanks to Dr. Peterson and others, it might just be one that gets left behind.
Don’t fall back into that lifestyle/habit - you have shown yourself and others you can be sober. Relapse is part of the cycle of recovery, you haven’t failed, you just need to recognise you are human and pick up (excuse the pun) where you left off. I struggle with alcohol and use it as a coping mechanism, but I don’t have the gift of moderation. So I know if I have one or two, I’ll most likely and history has proven I’ll be back at the store getting more and more as the alcoholism can and does take over. Even with the insight and knowledge that it doesn’t serve me well, it robs me in every way possible until I’m on my knees praying for just one sober day
Remember my own father his words speaking...couldn't stand my father's word's when I was young...Today - after a lot of life experiences - today I live the word's of my father and Jordan his word's... the only way to find realistic Happiness ❤
I’m watching this after just returning from the bottle shop and spending my last eight dollars on beer. I am living a worthless meaningless life that is so so full of tragedy and misery. I honestly believe this may have just saved my life. Asking yourself what is it you’re doing each day that is foolish and you want or need to stop is life or death for me. I will find you sir, and kneel before you and say thank you from the bottom of my soul.
I've been living mine wasted on porn and self pleasing every day, pulling myself away from everyone and secluded in my own world, I could never save a penny and spent it all on snacking and porn, a few weeks ago I told a brother from church this problem and he related to me and has been a great source of help, I've seen a lot of changes just in a few weeks and I won't go back. I'll keep aiming for discipline and growing in Christ.
@@Amanda_crochets there you go man, reach and you will most likely receive nothing but support. It takes a real man to admit he has a problem and ask for help.
@@harrygorman thanks Harry, I wish the best life has to offer for you as well, knowing that there's something greater than ourselves really grounds me to serving God and trying to know his purpose for me
Thats an incredible achievement. A truly good man no doubt, but don't forget you are the one who stepped forward and achieved what you set out to achieve, as painful as I'm sure it was.
I am not wasting another day on anything that doesn't benefit me and I make a commitment to myself that I will live a more fulfilling life with love and purpose. I am already engaged in something I have always wanted to try and there is more.
You are responsible for your life! Go out there and make it happen! You can do it! Prepare yourself, learn more or new skills or even about yourself, then believe in yourself and go take action, have experience. You can do it, and I believe in you. God bless you!
Jordan Peterson should do lectures at high schools! If not even middle schools... I think so many unmotivated students//children/teenagers would increase in both their moral, motivation, and behaviour, if they recieved some of the wisdom from Jordan.
Dr. Peterson described exactly the feeling I have experienced when reading a book. It’s hard to let the people go because those characters become so real. I have always loved looking up words in the dictionary. I became an excellent speller because of it. I appreciate everything that Dr. Peterson does to help humanity. He is a treasure.
When I don't have the energy or courage to put these incredibly wise words into action, I'll listen to them on repeat for hours. The effect is not nothing, wish I understood it more.
One day at a time, do not get discouraged. You'll definitely get there. One day out of the blue it will just boom, click in when you're not thinking of it. The "Aha" moment will hit and you'll have a smile ten miles high. 😁
What a blessed and gifted man, that can actually touch peoples hearts and lives, from their deepest darkest times. He isn't a prideful man, but I know his heart has to have moments of extreme love and excitement that tears flow long and hard for hours. There are ppl, like me too, that really want to help and love each person in the world, and take away their fears.
I listened to this perticular clip a few months ago Mr Peterson..I herd your words...Hit 🎯 me in the heart,was damaging myself with substance bcos I was sad.. Never forgot your words though..I'm glad to inform you I have been completely clean short of one month..🙏🏽Thankyou for planting the seed .My relationships with my family have improved Thankyou your a humble,kind man sharing goodness with the world.I appreciate you and God Bless You Sir,and our Lord will...❤

I'll be 51 in a few days. I got an education, then I let a bad marriage derail my life. I just lost the first job I had in 15 years after being a stay at home mom for too long. My self esteem is worse than ever, I don't have enough saved for retirement, and I'm in antidepressant withdrawal. I am so scared and in so much regret and pain.
How are you? Are you hanging in there? There's people who love and care about you whom you'll never even meet. I'm one of them. You've got this. I believe in you and your capacity to heal.
I hope this message finds you well and safe. Keep pushing forward looking for meaning in the big and small moments of life. I pray that you have peace in your journey
I don’t know where you are , but you would probably like to drive a city bus. There are a lot of drivers the same as you. It’s a great job with benefits and new comrades and friends.
I swear this man changed my life for the better, terrible rime in life and i would listen to him at work when i was working 60-80 hrs a week, he's an exellent teacher to help someone grasp the concept of being "structured"
This man is brilliant and THINKS in a beautiful way. Anyone that has an issue with this man is strictly jealous, envious and probably angry that they don’t have his natural intelligence and knows how to communicate it to help people the way he does. ❤😊
I love what he says about being able to speak and write makes you deadly and I completely agree with that. I have so many thoughts that need to be put out into the world but I have no idea how to articulate them. I can never think of the words I want to say. This is something I’m working on, I fear that it comes from being in Addiction for 18 years. This shit is no joke, I’m two years sober and still dealing with lasting effects of my addiction.
@@JKThom-59 I think it’s a mindset thing. I’m just tired staying all alone and I’m all out to make a life with that one ☝️ woman who will read my heart ♥️ every time. I think I should stop here, do you mind getting to know me?
It gets easier and more complex. I think the best wisdom concerning recovery comes from scripture. “The righteous falls seven times but stands up eight.” Don’t quit. I’m praying for you.
Today after praying I realized it’s fall season and I visioned leaves falling a tree few minutes later I told myself just like those leaves are falling make a list of all the bad habits you have in all areas of my life let them fall and make room for new habits. I made a list with actionable plan to change. Now I needed to understand how I will change and found this video. Full of wisdom. Thanks to person who made the video.

Hello Motivation to study, I have been listening to your videos for more than 2 years to encourage myself to study to get high marks to be accepted in university . Now , I am watching your videos again for the same reason to encourage myself to study not to get high marks only also to save people lives and heal their pains ❤ So you were my friend through my way to achieve this study and I hope you will continue be my friend in my path way through this study (Medical student) ❤
I buried my 3 children all before they turned 30...tell me Jordan how do I fix me?..I've survived suicide attempts everything yet I'm a broken recluse that doesn't even use my voice anymore .I'm grateful to God .faith and hope...... all I have
I will pray for you. I reckon God weeps with you because He loves you that much. And that you can still be such a powerful instrument in His hands. Use your voice, to sing or to greet a loved one or to express your opinion or to take up a task people need you for, that you're fitted for. I believe in you man you can do it!!! I'm sorry if this sounds shallow or inadequate but I truly mean it. I hope you can find someone to talk about all this, people from churches usually are if you ask them. Much love and blessings from Holland.
Jon Uhler channel on TH-cam...and Tim Fletcher thinking cant fix you .the best advice ill impress you but won't soothe you to the core .you need to interact with the material .Heal your sentimental wounds and misunderstood parts . both channells have the entire method of work to follow along ..parts work and Healing your inner child
Look at all you've been through and YOU are still here. There is a powerful reason why. What is one stupid thing you can stop doing today? Me? I'm going to stop having caffeine, coffee; soda. I'm stopping today. I have anxiety and it's been worse lately because of some health problems, so I need to make a change. You can to!
God is close to the brokenhearted I feel your pain it’s sooo hard but Jesus is right there with you🙏🏻Get involved in Church and turn your sorrows into a testimony for others a lot of people are going through this! I will pray for you 🙏🏻 I live alone and I have a hard time everyday…Jesus give my sister the grace to get through her pain and turn it into a testimony and give her her joy back 🙏🏻In Jesus name I pray 🙏🏻 Place a hedge of protection around her Jesus and fill her with your love ❤️ Jesus bring someone into her life a Godly man to help her through her journey in life serving you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God Bless you ❤️🙏🏻
My young kids and I listen and apply Dr Jordan Peterson's lessons; I am witnessing nothing short of miracles. They are growing bold, confident, articulate, assertive and are not afraid to ask questions.Thank you Dr Peterson.
Having adverts pop up in the middle of videos like this is like being assaulted on the street without provocation. And I shouldn't have to pay money, like paying for a body guard, to keep adverts from ruining a good flow of information.
Barely managed to do it a couple years ago just before it was too late, for some things I was too late, but I didn't let anyone ruin me or act entitled to reforge a connection with me a second time. I'm grateful.
I find that I am ashamed to admit to myself my past failures and fear that I may make them again. I have gone through serious PTSD for 10 years and have emerged from it with optimism.
You have great aspersions. I'm 63 and I wasted most of my life miserable because I didn't give my life to God. You have to understand that life will throw you curves balls and you won't always be happy but you can get through the loss of a loved one, a sickness or whatever comes your way because you serve a living, wonderful God. I'm so happy
I’m going to repeat this video at least once a week. I’ve recently started my own content journey exploring everything from the cheat code to happiness to finding out personal value add propositions. It’s helped me to frame a new operating system for my self… but one thing I’ve not yet revealed is that ultimate problem I’m trying to solve. This video just helped me find that… while listening on the treadmill at the gym I was verging on tears when it hit me. Not only that as my goal, but it has also parted the clouds at the top of that mountain I now need to climb, it has revealed the transcendent goal that follows on from the peak. It’s personal but it’s something every single one of us knows so wel, and something that holds us all back. I know I’ll need to write and speak about this in my channel soon. That will be the first hurdle. But I’m born to walk uphill so now begins my climb ✊
I had a grade 3 or 4 tbi and originally Alan watts was my muse. "you're it" the audio book made me a person worth talking to. Jordan taught me to actually think and analyze and make decisions.the motivation from other speakers propelled me forward but the simplicity of Jordan's steps combined with the eloquence of his language... Well... It made me formidable. I'm still working on moving away from being too compassioante to avoid being taken advantage of but also to love deeply. To love with such depth that those around me are uplifted. I went from begging the world for a friend to get me through the rough, to being a man. Thank God for you. I wish I could meet him, without so many steps hahaha... Hahahaa a remnant of who I once was. I will meet him, I will, even if I have to pay for his time. I will meet with him even if it's just to Thank him, but a cup of coffee would be nice.
This man literally made me stop absolutley screwing up my life in my mid 20s. Im soon to be 30 and i can’t imagine what would have happened if I never came across his work. He saved my life.
Ah, Mr. Jordan Peterson-My internet father. The father I never had and always needed. The sadness of this largely fatherless society affects us all and eternally. Some say, without a father is ok if we have one good parent. I disagree. Without a father (as God and biology intended) the mother is not as good as she could be either. It’s corrosive and connected. We must fix this (I’m talking to males out there-those who’ve yet to grow into actual men.) to the true real fathers, husbands, and men out there, I applaud you. We all benefit from your choices that focused on the benefit of others and not just your own selfish wants. God help us please. Amen
My wish to you all , is believe in yourself , take the great advice that you give others. Listen to your heart and gut in every situation. You are the only one who’s got you , like you got you.
This excellent video seems to bring together in one place, quite brilliantly, all of the most important aspects of the core of Jordan’s psychological teachings on getting hold of your life and of what matters. I am over 70 years old but I am grateful to destiny that my life overlapped with Dr Peterson’s. It would have been nice to get hold of this when I was, say, 22, but the presence of these presentations is just great good fortune for another generation. The ones who will listen and hear and read, anyway.
I quite smoking weed and replaced it with working out or reading every time I craved it. I can't explain how much Jordan has made me value myself more and change the things I knew had to and I was procrastinating on.
Holy cow what a great way of expressing why I'm content within my rather minimalist lifestyle while the "bigshots"around me are miserable. Shakespeare was right . . . To think own self be true . Thanks for the reminder jordan
Tak poslouchej, ty můj magore! Už jsem díky tvým duševním chorobám přišel o sedm let života... Čtrnáct prací jsem kvůli tvým duševním chorobám vystřídal... Brzo jich bude patnáct... Můžeš mi klidně obtěžovat život dalších sedm let... Já mám čas... Dávno jsi jenom k smíchu.. potřebuješ pomoc.
My gratitude for this man is unreal. When I first discovered his videos, I was a sad, hopeless drug addict, selfish father, and my demons got me in a position where I was homeless and everything was dark. I found the light, and made the best out of what I had, with his words being my beacon of light to outshine the darkness. Now I am back in college, slowly gaining strength on my life, and I am sober going on 2 years. Thank you for everything you do for this world. We appreciate you, even if some dont.
I am also sober for 2 years. Almost died from alcoholism at 28 years old…. So crazy to look back at and think I almost killed my self young to such a dumb vice and reason. Stay strong! Your fellow sober brethren are out here and when we cross paths we always lift each other up. Keep going! You are NOT alone!
My heart and prayers are with you fellow addict ( in the best terms of course!)! Love is out there for all of us, dont let your self-condemnation give you fear. You can do anything! Put your steps together. One day at a time. Much love! ❤
I want to be like Jordan when I grow up.
I sit at home alone, I've 2 daughters but hold them away. Drinking alone not good . I function work full time don't drink days I work,I'm trying to stop know it's killing me the amount I drink, bloody hard
@@philipevans1027 Hello from Las Vegas. I too am here alone w/my drug of choice.
I'm alone because everyone's dead. The little family I have built over the last 30yrs.
My son died April 28th of 2020 of a cocaine/fentanyl overdose...he would have been 25 on June 3rd. It was just after lockdowns began so there was no hug or kiss goodbye, then his wife of a whole 2yrs, decided we didn't need any of his ashes either. She also kept our 2 grandchildren from us.
July 15th the following year her mother decided to take the oldest boy on a trip to Kansas to visit a relative of theirs. When they got there everyone was tired so they all layed down for a while. Well, apparently our grandson got up before everyone else walked into the backyard and drowned in their pool...he was only 3yrs old. That was 2021.
Fast forward to last weekend and I discovered my husband dead in bed. He just turned 60 Nov 9th. He literally walked in, took his clothes off and fell into bed and died! 18pk a day for 20+ yrs now....with a sprinkling of hard stuff now and again. He never thought just beer would kill him. As long as he stayed away from the hard stuff. He too was not only functional but productive for many years has a great pension he only got to enjoy for 4yrs. I gotta tell you what really sticks out in my mind is how mean he's been in the last few years. And he wasn't rembrring things quite the way I did. I swear he knew....there were little things...,???Now I sit here, in a mountain of paperwork, drowning in grief that, I swear is going to swallow me whole any minute now! I have so many phone calls to make to people I don't want to talk to, but if I want to try and save this house I have to get pensions rolling and social security and bank accounts it's really all just a blur right now. Too much. Really surreal.
So do me a favor and you hold, hug, kiss and smother those little angels of yours with everything you've got. Try and picture waking up tomorrow w/o them in your life. And then love and hug them again!
Stay strong and keep fighting the good fight for you and when that's not enough for those two little angels that are depending on you to show them the ways of this world.
Show them all you've learned in this world and all that you would change to make it a better place for them. Show them what patience and kindness and compassion are all about. Bet you too could use a bit of all of the above right about now huh? Tell me about it!!
Don't know why I felt the need to reach out, if you made it to the end thanks for reading.
Always remember, you will continuously surprise yourself w/ strength you never knew you had. Trust me. Your ok now and you'll be alright an hour from now. Write me back. Give them a bath. Listen to your fav song FULL BLAST!! SCREAM INTO A PILLOW WHen everything seems just too dam frustrating. Then LOVE YOURSELF. Ssshhhh. Just love it all....
As my son used to say alot " you got this!"
You do got this. Good luck to you sweetheart. Now go kiss those girls and you have a bloody good one! Your friend across the pond?....Sherry♥️✌️😉♥️
When Jorden Peterson talks, it is almost always to benefit others. May God Bless him tremendously.
Truth
Even without intending to he helped so many when he revealed his suffering with Xanax and akathesia. He's given hundreds of 10000's of people a voice and validation (myself included) Bringing renewed light to the fact that those drugs are hell bound. He's a brilliant man, no doubt about it. I'm so glad he is evidently making a full recovery.
Peterson’s point about sitting on your bed and honestly asking what you're doing wrong really hit home. Sometimes the answers we’re avoiding are exactly what we need to hear for real change
1. Procrastinating.
2. Not working on myself (self hurdles)
3. Not tackling problems before they arise.
4. Not addressing other people's toxicity.
But why do you do it? Was it impulsive habits you made as an inexperienced teen? Abuse? Unresolved trauma? 🖤🖤🖤💛
Just wrote your 4 pointers down. Thank you
@@corindawestover1275all of the above - definitely for me- but everyone is different heart❤️🩹
Spot-on!
@@corindawestover1275really hard to say cause any good psychologist will tell you even a relatively seemingly small experience can offset the mind and well being.
Jordan helped me get sober over 4 years ago. This man will always have an immeasurable place in my heart ❤️
Pls follow me sir..
Thinking about this message everday can make a better version ourself
@@jjayala I too have walked this path and JPs experience helped me too.
I am a woman and have been following and practising the work of this man for almost 2 years. Sitting here right now, I am handling my life more successfully than ever before. Good, bad & ugly. There is nothing I could say to thank him enough.
I’m 44 following him for 4 years now he saved my life in every way that matters. Went back to uni did two years I’m taking a break at the minute but following all of my dreams and being a better mother also life could not be any better !
@@advocate_13@ts@s@td
You go girls.
Good on you! Just keep it up. Any time you get down, get back up and try again.
He has some of the most profound things to say that are also the most basic. However, even though they are basic, they are not simple.
That last phrase man.. “you’re here to live, not to sleep” that hit home. I’ve been in a chronic depression most days and can’t find myself to get out of bed and feel like I can sleep for eternity. I’m 26 and I can’t believe how much time I’ve wasted in my own sorrow. However I am slowly and surely finding myself. Thank you Mr. Peterson no one has the impact that you have had on my life.
Hugs, I understand. Its an illness. Try to find help ⭐
I’m proud of your progress. We’re of the same age. I’m so proud of you and I want you to know that you aren’t alone. ❤ Hugs.
It is only a waste if you fail to learn from your sorrows and by the sound of it you are, how ever slowly. Don’t thank mr Peterson, thank the spiritual guidance that placed him along your path. Blessings on your path towards enlightenment. The energy will be with you, just ask for it. Please Mother Nature provide me the energy to take the next step, never allow fear of making the wrong step stop you, even if it a step in the wrong direction.
Even trees lose their leaves. However, seasons change. Your condition will change too. Please seek professional help and start building slowly. Hoping that you are already a bit better. The only constant in life is change. And sometimes you need these dark times to find out what you are really seeking in life. It is not YOU vs depression. Think of depression as an ally. Your body warns you that the course of your life is a bit off the right course. Few changes are needed. You will be able to make them slowly, of course with social support and professional help. Start by simple things. Try to wash the dishes, cook for yourself, get some sunshine, or make a 20-minute walk, or read a few pages from a book. Whatever it is, please believe that it is not permanent. Countless people have been in this situation and have gotten out of it. It might feel that right now you're in the eye of a cyclone, but trust me, the best things are yet to come. Love yourself. Award yourself with every little progress you make. It is not the right time to be strict with yourself, however, you might set tiny goals.
I am 28 and have gone through the same phases . You ll come out of this, that's for sure. The only thing here is that you wake up stronger and make the decisions which will change your life for the better. Don't get stuck in a cycle ❤
To all you, Warriors out there facing a battle with demons. The power of your spirit is greater.
thank you
The power of the spirit is finite, but the power of the Holy Spirit is limitless! Don't get me wrong, we all have strong spirits, but all, fall and fade out inevitably. The Holy Spirit will sustain you beyond, way beyond what your own spirit can imagine. Simply trust and obey. God bless.
Oh ! Wow! Just what I need it through 🙏

"This world need us now more than ever" couldn't be said better, we are living in dark times and the world is so full of hate and violence. We need leaders like this man to guide us away from pessimism and negative action/thinking/speaking.

When I was at the darkest time of my addiction, I would play videos like this for hours in the background. One day, I quit my addiction and stepped out into the light that was shining through my darkness that was called on by his words. Since, I’ve been sober and finished two masters and started doctoral studies today. Looking back over the last two years, I’m overwhelmed at the deep truth, power and impact these types of videos have had on my life. Go on Dr. Peterson! Onward and upward my friends!
One of the greatest minds of our time. The father that many of us don’t have.
He needs a father himself he’s a well spoken arrogant clown 🤡

"You should be better than you are. But it's not because you are worse than other people. It's because you are not everything you should be."- Jordan Peterson...
I'm 20 years old , and I have been struggling with motivation, lacking discipline, and tried several times to develop self discipline. I have watched several motivational videos, and they didn't work out for me. But I have watched this video, and it's different from other motivational videos, it has more detail and it has just enlightened new perspectives of life for me. I believe that this is more than just a motivational video. Thanks to Jordan Peterson, he has just impacted my life as well.
Ditto.. I never thought of it that way. Routine because your worth it.
Absolutely
ya all the other motivation videos are work work work body building stuff
For as much as I too have learned from these motivational videos, you still have to put in the work to get what you want.
Good luck to you
It’s never about the words you hear on a TH-cam video but the words you tell yourself on a regular day basis. These videos can give you temporary motivation and make you feel like you’re ready to turn everything around but eventually the feeling fades. You don’t need videos so much as you need the lessons you can learn from them. The real change and growth comes from your ability to self critique and talk to yourself in an honest and productive way, holding yourself accountable without shaming yourself. Putting the past behind and focusing on the future.
Jordan Peterson helped me get clean off fentanyl! 53 days off that! I’m not frozen anymore! Particularly this video! I never met him, although I’m obsessed with his knowledge. It’s gave me new tools I needed for life! God Bless you Jordan Peterson ❤
I'm soooooo very proud of you!!!!
Jesus Christ, man!!! It's not easy letting things go, especially when they help us cope in many different ways.
I'm literally contemplating quitting drinking Alcohol daily (I'll elaborate) because of this vid..... and I'm only 10:18min in 🥹😰
Elaboration: I work 7 days a week, 4 jobs. All of them w/ UPPETTIES/BUBBLE-HEADS/RICH/WEALTHY/ENTITLED.... Pretty much: "Higher Power WITHOUT knowledge"
**It's like walking on egg shelfs without cracking them, yet still NOT GOOD ENOUGH type of situations that make me drink as soon as I get off work.
What book?
Proud of you!!! I overdosed on fentanyl Nov 2020 and JP helped me dig out of hell. I’m 3 1/2 years in recovery. Keep seeking the light!
Just turned 50. Not diagnosed with ADHD till I was 39 which has blighted all my life. Listern and read Dr Peterson every day. Some of it must brush off on my and sink in eventually. Day 1 Week 1. Every day.
jordan peterson is the male role model voice a lot of us men lacked. its so refreshing to hear Dr. Peterson articulate this general knowledge irrespective of background.
Pls follow me sir..
It's interesting even as a woman with a "good" father, the father archetype in my psyche is very wounded. (My father has lots of unresolved stuff) However, I find listening to JP over the years has seemed to help my align that part of my psyche with a healthier masculine role model as well.
I have to slap my head so hard whenever I read the comments on a JP clip... it's literally only less than .01% of the population who recognize that he's just a banker shill. He's working for people trying to betray your trust and take all your knowledge, work and sanity because yes, they are that malevolent. Keep closing your eyes and ears, I'm done trying to explain to people who to trust, it should be goddamn obvious you can't trust JP. He sided with the people who tried desperately to inject you with multiple toxic bio-weapons for 2+ years. How in the world can you put your trust into that??? Stop defending evil people because they don't mean you well. They're trying to divide the population against itself by teaching them to adopt slave philosophy - i.e. existentialism. That's what Jordan is teaching, not the philosophy of the agrarian communities for example of 100+ years ago because that makes you independent. Jordan doesn't want you to be independent, not until you're old and it's too late to enjoy life and all your money has to be wasted on healthcare.
Dr. Peterson helped me completely change my trajectory in life. Combat vet diagnosed with PTSD and depression got out of the army and I was just lost. Alcoholic living at my parents house, no direction and hopeless. Fast forward to today, amazing wife, 3 kids, great career, back in school using my GI bill and starting up a small business. I can’t thank him enough.
Wow!
Look at you!
I am so PROUD of you!❤❤
41 days sober!
I’m trying to take it day by day. I really want to be further along than I am right now. But I know I have no other choice. From burning my brain by Injesting alcohol / instant dopamine activities. My attention span and and will power are so low. But I have to remember. One day at a time.

Great video! Sadly, my two-year relationship ended a month ago. The person I thought was the love of my life decided to leave, and I’m still deeply in love with him. I can’t stop thinking about him, and despite all my efforts to win him back, nothing has worked. I feel so frustrated and can’t imagine being with anyone else. No matter what I do, he’s always on my mind, and I miss him terribly.
Letting go of someone you love is incredibly hard. I went through a similar experience when my twelve-year relationship ended. I couldn't bear to lose him, so I did everything I could to rekindle our relationship. Eventually, I sought the help of a spiritual counselor, who guided us back together.
Wow, that’s incredible! How did you find a spiritual counselor, and how can I get in touch with him?
His name is Fatherabulu, and he’s an amazing spiritual counselor who specializes in helping people reconnect with their ex.
Thank you for sharing this valuable info! I just looked him up, and he seems impressive.
You will be deeply fine . Remember this comment !
I remember a few years ago; I was at a bit of a crossroads in my life. I was feeling stuck and not really sure where I was headed. That's when I stumbled upon Jordan Peterson's work. His emphasis on personal responsibility really struck a chord with me. It was like a wake-up call to take charge of my own life.
So, when I see a video titled "Jordan Peterson: Fix Yourself Before It's Too Late," it resonates with me. It's a reminder that we all have the power to make positive changes in our lives, no matter where we're starting from. It's about taking those small steps towards self-improvement and growth. Thanks for sharing this message, and here's to all of us working on fixing ourselves for a brighter future!

"You should be better than you are. But it's not because you are worse than other people. It's because you are not everything you should be."- Jordan Peterson // That made me realise the lost potential of so many individuals that I've encountered throughout my travels, most at the last chapter of their lifespan! It is our moral obligation to thrive and better ourselves and show god the beauty of his creation.
'What stupid thing am i doing ' 'This is no game' My goodness this is so POWERFUL.
Life is a game, many games. You just have to play the right game, the game that will lately give you a positive surprize. You'll never shake the dice but you can predict your odds by your actions.
This is something I will never forget. Say what you want about Jordan Peterson but his ability to craft language into powerful hope and inspiration is unmatched.
Just starting this video and I imagine it will be good or great! Jordan Peterson spoke some real truth to me in 2020. I decided to check myself into a detox center because my relationship with alcohol was toxic. I was tired of disappointing the people I love. He helped me begin a journey of healing and loving myself. If you don’t love yourself you really can’t love anyone. Thank you Jordan!!! I’m now a light that hopefully reflects to some lost soul
Jordan Peterson is a wise, brave man. Thank you 🙏
I listen to you often, Mr. Peterson. Thank you, kind sir. God speed in all you do.
Jordan has gained my Respect. He's one of the few men of status that actually have a voice of reason amidst this chaos...I don't want to waste my life either. I'm almost 32 now, the time for me to pursue my Goals is NOW....Even if the half the world attempts to road block me, I will still reach my goals.
Dr. Peterson is the embodiment of selflessness and genuine love for his fellow man. He has amassed a tremendous amount of understanding for human behavior for the sole purpose of sharing it with the world so that we may better understand ourselves and the world around us. Thank you for your brilliance, your compassion, and your tireless pursuit to enlighten those who are struggling so that they may walk with their heads held high, confident in their value and purpose. Thank you
This is truly eye opening and a must watch for young men growing up with a lack of purpose!
Having finished sober october, I went out for a staff halloween party. I woke up this morning with a lack of memories, a few regrettable flashes, a sore head and complaining gut. Man, what a reminder as to why: why to stop performing these stupid behaviours; what the cost is of short term entertainment. This seems like a truly destructive force in my life, and thanks to Dr. Peterson and others, it might just be one that gets left behind.
Don’t fall back into that lifestyle/habit - you have shown yourself and others you can be sober. Relapse is part of the cycle of recovery, you haven’t failed, you just need to recognise you are human and pick up (excuse the pun) where you left off. I struggle with alcohol and use it as a coping mechanism, but I don’t have the gift of moderation. So I know if I have one or two, I’ll most likely and history has proven I’ll be back at the store getting more and more as the alcoholism can and does take over. Even with the insight and knowledge that it doesn’t serve me well, it robs me in every way possible until I’m on my knees praying for just one sober day
Remember my own father his words speaking...couldn't stand my father's word's when I was young...Today - after a lot of life experiences - today I live the word's of my father and Jordan his word's... the only way to find realistic Happiness ❤
I shed tears, his words are really deep, deep enough to made me stop indulge myself in my addictions. Thanks Jordan.
STOP BLAMING PEOPLE FOR YOUR ADDICTIONS.....!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

I’m watching this after just returning from the bottle shop and spending my last eight dollars on beer. I am living a worthless meaningless life that is so so full of tragedy and misery. I honestly believe this may have just saved my life. Asking yourself what is it you’re doing each day that is foolish and you want or need to stop is life or death for me. I will find you sir, and kneel before you and say thank you from the bottom of my soul.
For me to be well enough financially and otherwise healthy enough to actually travel and attend one of your events is my goal and meaning.
If I don’t make it that means I didn’t succeed, that I died trying but regardless, thank you Jordan B Peterson.
I've been living mine wasted on porn and self pleasing every day, pulling myself away from everyone and secluded in my own world, I could never save a penny and spent it all on snacking and porn, a few weeks ago I told a brother from church this problem and he related to me and has been a great source of help, I've seen a lot of changes just in a few weeks and I won't go back.

Beautiful and very inspirational. Thank you.
Jordan is an amazing human being. To me he is the definition of a spiritual leader. A lighthouse in a storm.
You are responsible for your life! Go out there and make it happen! You can do it! Prepare yourself, learn more or new skills or even about yourself, then believe in yourself and go take action, have experience. You can do it, and I believe in you. God bless you!
"You should be better than you are..." To me that is the one thing that truly gives life meaning and value.
Jordan Peterson should do lectures at high schools! If not even middle schools...
I think so many unmotivated students//children/teenagers would increase in both their moral, motivation, and behaviour, if they recieved some of the wisdom from Jordan.
Dr. Peterson described exactly the feeling I have experienced when reading a book. It’s hard to let the people go because those characters become so real. I have always loved looking up words in the dictionary. I became an excellent speller because of it. I appreciate everything that Dr. Peterson does to help humanity. He is a treasure.
When I don't have the energy or courage to put these incredibly wise words into action, I'll listen to them on repeat for hours. The effect is not nothing, wish I understood it more.

One day at a time, do not get discouraged. You'll definitely get there. One day out of the blue it will just boom, click in when you're not thinking of it. The "Aha" moment will hit and you'll have a smile ten miles high. 😁
What a blessed and gifted man, that can actually touch peoples hearts and lives, from their deepest darkest times.

Could you please tell who is the man referring to reading Shakespeare and understanding language?
I'll be 51 in a few days. I got an education, then I let a bad marriage derail my life. I just lost the first job I had in 15 years after being a stay at home mom for too long. My self esteem is worse than ever, I don't have enough saved for retirement, and I'm in antidepressant withdrawal. I am so scared and in so much regret and pain.
Tim Fletcher .
Jon Uhler on youtube .I promise it will help .I wish you the best
How are you? Are you hanging in there? There's people who love and care about you whom you'll never even meet. I'm one of them. You've got this. I believe in you and your capacity to heal.
Fortify your mind; your kids still need you
I hope this message finds you well and safe. Keep pushing forward looking for meaning in the big and small moments of life. I pray that you have peace in your journey
I don’t know where you are , but you would probably like to drive a city bus. There are a lot of drivers the same as you. It’s a great job with benefits and new comrades and friends.
He touches a place within for so many & there's not very many people that can do that
I swear this man changed my life for the better, terrible rime in life and i would listen to him at work when i was working 60-80 hrs a week, he's an exellent teacher to help someone grasp the concept of being "structured"
This man is brilliant and THINKS in a beautiful way. Anyone that has an issue with this man is strictly jealous, envious and probably angry that they don’t have his natural intelligence and knows how to communicate it to help people the way he does. ❤😊
I love what he says about being able to speak and write makes you deadly and I completely agree with that. I have so many thoughts that need to be put out into the world but I have no idea how to articulate them. I can never think of the words I want to say. This is something I’m working on, I fear that it comes from being in Addiction for 18 years. This shit is no joke, I’m two years sober and still dealing with lasting effects of my addiction.
Congratulations on your sobriety and personal gains.❤
@@JKThom-59 I think it’s a mindset thing. I’m just tired staying all alone and I’m all out to make a life with that one ☝️ woman who will read my heart ♥️ every time. I think I should stop here, do you mind getting to know me?
It gets easier and more complex. I think the best wisdom concerning recovery comes from scripture. “The righteous falls seven times but stands up eight.” Don’t quit. I’m praying for you.
Today after praying I realized it’s fall season and I visioned leaves falling a tree few minutes later I told myself just like those leaves are falling make a list of all the bad habits you have in all areas of my life let them fall and make room for new habits. I made a list with actionable plan to change. Now I needed to understand how I will change and found this video. Full of wisdom. Thanks to person who made the video.
"Moving to Sweden 5yrs ago was not what I expected. The initial excitement wore off, and reality set in. I struggled to adapt to the new culture, found it challenging to make friends, and faced financial difficulties. Investing in the financial market, taking control of my money, and planning for the future has been crucial in making my expat journey smoother."
@@face2lune Dont think here is the place for personalised investment guidance. However, I suggest consulting with a reliable advisor to ensure appropriate investment planning.
I agree with you and I believe that Professionals are currently dominating the market since they have access to both the necessary strategy for making money in this industry.
I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
@@face2lune Understanding your financial needs and making effective decisions is very essential. If I could advise you, you should seek the help of a financial advisor. For the record, working with one has been the best for my finances...
@@kaylat63 Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you are using their service? Seems you've figured it all out.
At the end of the day, Jordan is the one to get us back to the best version of ourselves. Love yourself. Love you neighbor. Let’s get back to where we need to be. Love this man’s message.❤
such a gift this man is. so needed in these times. i can't get enough of his wisdom.
I think it’s a mindset thing. I’m just tired staying all alone and I’m all out to make a life with that one ☝️ woman who will read my heart ♥️ every time. I think I should stop here, do you mind getting to know me?
Peterson's emphasis on the significance of taking control of one's life resonates with those seeking a path to fulfillment and purpose.
Hello Motivation to study,
I have been listening to your videos for more than 2 years to encourage myself to study to get high marks to be accepted in university .
Now , I am watching your videos again for the same reason to encourage myself to study not to get high marks only also to save people lives and heal their pains ❤
So you were my friend through my way to achieve this study and I hope you will continue be my friend in my path way through this study (Medical student) ❤
I buried my 3 children all before they turned 30...tell me Jordan how do I fix me?..I've survived suicide attempts everything yet I'm a broken recluse that doesn't even use my voice anymore .I'm grateful to God .faith and hope...... all I have
I will pray for you. I reckon God weeps with you because He loves you that much. And that you can still be such a powerful instrument in His hands. Use your voice, to sing or to greet a loved one or to express your opinion or to take up a task people need you for, that you're fitted for. I believe in you man you can do it!!! I'm sorry if this sounds shallow or inadequate but I truly mean it. I hope you can find someone to talk about all this, people from churches usually are if you ask them. Much love and blessings from Holland.
Jon Uhler channel on TH-cam...and Tim Fletcher thinking cant fix you .the best advice ill impress you but won't soothe you to the core .you need to interact with the material .Heal your sentimental wounds and misunderstood parts . both channells have the entire method of work to follow along ..parts work and Healing your inner child
Look at all you've been through and YOU are still here. There is a powerful reason why. What is one stupid thing you can stop doing today? Me? I'm going to stop having caffeine, coffee; soda. I'm stopping today. I have anxiety and it's been worse lately because of some health problems, so I need to make a change. You can to!
God is close to the brokenhearted I feel your pain it’s sooo hard but Jesus is right there with you🙏🏻Get involved in Church and turn your sorrows into a testimony for others a lot of people are going through this! I will pray for you 🙏🏻 I live alone and I have a hard time everyday…Jesus give my sister the grace to get through her pain and turn it into a testimony and give her her joy back 🙏🏻In Jesus name I pray 🙏🏻
Place a hedge of protection around her
Jesus and fill her with your love ❤️ Jesus bring someone into her life a Godly man to help her through her journey in life serving you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
God Bless you ❤️🙏🏻
My young kids and I listen and apply Dr Jordan Peterson's lessons; I am witnessing nothing short of miracles. They are growing bold, confident, articulate, assertive and are not afraid to ask questions.Thank you Dr Peterson.
I'm not sure who you are now, Sir Dr. Peterson, but your early videos really made a difference in my life.
Thank you.
Peterson is a therapist to everyone that cant afford one.
Having adverts pop up in the middle of videos like this is like being assaulted on the street without provocation. And I shouldn't have to pay money, like paying for a body guard, to keep adverts from ruining a good flow of information.
Barely managed to do it a couple years ago just before it was too late, for some things I was too late, but I didn't let anyone ruin me or act entitled to reforge a connection with me a second time. I'm grateful.
This man has kept me on this earth. I love him dearly ❣️
it’s kinda crazy how nobody’s talking about Antozent, they are selling 150 self help books for the price of one
Nice one bot
Probably would’ve bought that if you weren’t a shill about it
No one should have to pay for pirated books
Bum
I'd rather buy 1 useful book.
I find that I am ashamed to admit to myself my past failures and fear that I may make them again. I have gone through serious PTSD for 10 years and have emerged from it with optimism.
Long drive I love listening to this man spiritual healing
I'm 18 years old, I grew up in a Christian family, I have 9 siblings. And I want to serve God until the end of my life
You have great aspersions. I'm 63 and I wasted most of my life miserable because I didn't give my life to God. You have to understand that life will throw you curves balls and you won't always be happy but you can get through the loss of a loved one, a sickness or whatever comes your way because you serve a living, wonderful God. I'm so happy
God bless you! Have a blessed day! Thank you very much! 🙏 Amen

They say god never gives a burden greater than a man can carry. So the stronger you are the worse your life will be.
@@jaysmamma2750Tim Fletcher at the end of every video..Jon Uhler
This came at the right time. It's too early in the morning to be crying at work. Motivated me but is absolutely affecting me
Life and time is precious. Don't waste a single second
To be articulate is to be the master of ones own tongue…Words have meaning. Articulation has impact. I need to read more. TY Dr Peterson!
Pls follow me sir..
Please like this comment and get me coming back here as much as I can. Thanks in advance.
Random reminder to check this video again.
Do not live for 👍🏽
I don't read. I can read. I swear this video is changing the future in regard to my relationship with reading...
Thank you Jordan Peterson. A million thank yous....
"compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone is today"🥺❤
I agree. My father was not there for reasons.
No hard feelings. But so agree.
I’m going to repeat this video at least once a week. I’ve recently started my own content journey exploring everything from the cheat code to happiness to finding out personal value add propositions. It’s helped me to frame a new operating system for my self… but one thing I’ve not yet revealed is that ultimate problem I’m trying to solve. This video just helped me find that… while listening on the treadmill at the gym I was verging on tears when it hit me. Not only that as my goal, but it has also parted the clouds at the top of that mountain I now need to climb, it has revealed the transcendent goal that follows on from the peak. It’s personal but it’s something every single one of us knows so wel, and something that holds us all back. I know I’ll need to write and speak about this in my channel soon. That will be the first hurdle. But I’m born to walk uphill so now begins my climb ✊
Good luck on your climb and may it light a path for others.

I had a grade 3 or 4 tbi and originally Alan watts was my muse. "you're it" the audio book made me a person worth talking to. Jordan taught me to actually think and analyze and make decisions.the motivation from other speakers propelled me forward but the simplicity of Jordan's steps combined with the eloquence of his language... Well... It made me formidable. I'm still working on moving away from being too compassioante to avoid being taken advantage of but also to love deeply. To love with such depth that those around me are uplifted. I went from begging the world for a friend to get me through the rough, to being a man. Thank God for you. I wish I could meet him, without so many steps hahaha... Hahahaa a remnant of who I once was. I will meet him, I will, even if I have to pay for his time. I will meet with him even if it's just to Thank him, but a cup of coffee would be nice.
This man literally made me stop absolutley screwing up my life in my mid 20s. Im soon to be 30 and i can’t imagine what would have happened if I never came across his work. He saved my life.
What did you do to change things?
He drops nuggets of gold on the regular .. listen closely
Living in this world is temporary and just trying different things to be winner or not , both are experienced and we should accept
Ah, Mr. Jordan Peterson-My internet father. The father I never had and always needed. The sadness of this largely fatherless society affects us all and eternally. Some say, without a father is ok if we have one good parent. I disagree. Without a father (as God and biology intended) the mother is not as good as she could be either. It’s corrosive and connected. We must fix this (I’m talking to males out there-those who’ve yet to grow into actual men.) to the true real fathers, husbands, and men out there, I applaud you. We all benefit from your choices that focused on the benefit of others and not just your own selfish wants. God help us please. Amen
My wish to you all , is believe in yourself , take the great advice that you give others. Listen to your heart and gut in every situation. You are the only one who’s got you , like you got you.
This gentleman has added value to my life.
I started making my bed…motivation not an issue…thanking Dr. Peterson while I’m doing it. 🙏🏾❤️👍🏾 🇳🇵
This excellent video seems to bring together in one place, quite brilliantly, all of the most important aspects of the core of Jordan’s psychological teachings on getting hold of your life and of what matters. I am over 70 years old but I am grateful to destiny that my life overlapped with Dr Peterson’s. It would have been nice to get hold of this when I was, say, 22, but the presence of these presentations is just great good fortune for another generation. The ones who will listen and hear and read, anyway.
I quite smoking weed and replaced it with working out or reading every time I craved it. I can't explain how much Jordan has made me value myself more and change the things I knew had to and I was procrastinating on.
We are built to walk up hills!❤
Holy cow what a great way of expressing why I'm content within my rather minimalist lifestyle while the "bigshots"around me are miserable. Shakespeare was right . . . To think own self be true . Thanks for the reminder jordan
Sounds like cope
He gives me hope
Tak poslouchej, ty můj magore! Už jsem díky tvým duševním chorobám přišel o sedm let života...
Čtrnáct prací jsem kvůli tvým duševním chorobám vystřídal... Brzo jich bude patnáct...
Můžeš mi klidně obtěžovat život dalších sedm let... Já mám čas...
Dávno jsi jenom k smíchu.. potřebuješ pomoc.
Not only has JP changed my life years ago but to this day he saves me. Thank you sir.
Jordan Peterson is super intelligent and doesn’t care about being controversial.
If you gaze in the abyss long enough, you see the light not the darkness... Gracias, JP!
self-improvement is a crucial aspect of living a fulfilling life,great video!
