Isn't it crazy that most of us, went from children full of joy to bitter, depressed adults who pretend on social media their life is so good but only from the outside, people lost the connection to them selfs and run after materialistic things in hope that these things will make them happy
Sounds to me like your realizing and recognizing this which is good friend. Those naysayers who wish to attempt to embarrass rather than discuss, help, and learn are most likely those with issues they won't discuss. It would reveal the unjustified guilt a lot of us must shake off to see the world for what it is and take responsibility for our lives and happiness. There is no happiness in degradation of others. Stay up😎.
I had a myspace back in the day, but i forwent all social media short of TH-cam and i think I'm genuinely happier than those constantly plugged into facebook and twitter or whatever.
"You end up in bad places one step at a time. So best to watch the steps" Sage advice. A downward spiral happens sequentially.....one small step at a time....one after another til you have arrived. Same sequence for an upward spiral. You end up in good places....one step at a time.
It just boggles the mind how certain groups of people pillory and castigate this guy. It's inconceivable to me that any sane, decent, intelligent people can denigrate this man after listening to him. To me it seems obvious that they haven't. This man has such depth of humanity and wisdom. I try to model myself (unsuccessfully I might add) after him and thank God everyday that there are people like him on the planet. What a blessing.
Unfortunately a lot of people can’t think for themselves anymore.. they’re blinded and can’t even see what is right in front of them.. all critical thinking seems to have disappeared
@@ScarbroughIsaiahSometimes lunatics are that way precisely because they have such profound insight and wisdom that it tends to weigh them down and eat at them.

Spoken from an encampment of humility, telling the prisoners of hope to flourish, while helping us with the frailty of life and suffering. Wow. May God Bless you Mr Peterson.
the most happy people in life I've ever encountered have strangely also been some of the hardest working people. Also, those whom realize that there is so many things in life that are are more important than money or material things. That is what makes you purely happy. Watching your children grow or experiencing true love or through life obtaining such a wealth of knowledge that makes one wise beyond one's years and conveying that to others to help and better the place one inhabits. Such as Mother Earth.
This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it th-cam.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.
This is the very reason why I decided to learn to play the guitar. I feel like my life is on cruise control with my work, and I have no definitive goals as an employee other than being the best I can. Music and BBQ on the other hand, I am very passionate about. I take tremendous joy in watching others enjoy my creations. That's the kind of stuff that makes life worth living. For those that think starting a business is the answer, it isn't always. I make an exceptionally good living and as a small business owner, the chances of making more than I do now is unlikely. If I started another business the amount of freedom to do what I want would go down and the hours I work would most certainly go up. That just doesn't make sense to me at the moment.
One thing that really stood out to me about my father is that despite it looking like everything was always great, once I moved into that more equals form of connection I learned just how miserable he really is, and how I’ve gone down the exact same path he did. But, neither of us is willing to break the responsibility and oaths we swore because the morally right thing to do is stick it out.

Loved the breaking bad analogy… I was deeply affected after watching that show and I believe it started me on a path to something - realisation of mortality for one thing, but also a sense of urgency when it came to living to my fullest potential. That was probably ten years ago, I’m still taking steps along that path, I’ve quit/am quitting my career and still struggling to focus on what my new goals should be. I’ve let myself become distracted by a lot of bs in recent months but Dr. Peterson, along with trying to immerse myself in other great philosophies, is helping me to hopefully start taking better steps. So grateful for this man, and so saddened to see how maligned and misunderstood he is.
Joseph Campbell said it best "Follow your bliss" Well, most people don't know how. They don't know what their bliss is. I'll give you a clue. The one thing you love to do where 5 hours seems like five minutes. The other is to have work that you enjoy. I am a Blacksmith. My mother cried when I told her I wanted to be a Blacksmith! My Dad just shook his head. I did it anyway. I have been a Blacksmith now for over 40 years. I have no regrets. The skills I have learned over the years is now paying off in a big way. Almost total self reliance building a Timber Frame mountain lodge cabin for my wife and I to retire built with lumber I milled myself , made with tools I made with my own hands. I had a dream my whole life of building our home with my own hands. I'm 66 years old. My wife is 65. This is the greatest adventure of our lives. Even if I die today I'll have a lived a wonderful life and leave a legacy to my children and grandchildren of a home that is a debt-free refuge, sanctuary and a place of safety for them long after I'm gone. I'm at peace and I'm a very happy man.

6:12 - Facts. To go from a bad state to a better state, you have to go through a worse state first. This unseen state in the middle that may last awhile. And you can predict a portion of it.
I am going through this but I didn't understand why, and now I do, this whole video has cleared up much, and though it still sucks it's ok, because now I understand this process in a way I hadn't before.
We are all in our own Groundhog Day. Do we choose to look at life as a glass half full or a glass half empty? We can fill our days and lives with pursuing goals such as learning a musical instrument or ice sculpting. We can help others where possible. We can try and spread a little joy. Smile etc. Or we can be a glass half empty type. We can be sinical and sarcastic. Mean and unwilling to help others. Fail to look for the positives in our lives. It's easier said than done for some people, but just recognising these possibilities is half the battle won imo.
The strong are those who have the clearest vision of what is before them and go out to meet it. The more you don’t quit, the more self respect you gain. When you work, only work on one thing at a time, think about the task in front of you and pursue it relentlessly.
This is for all you beautiful souls: Stay focused, believe in yourself and keep moving forward. You're getting closer to your goals with each step you take! ❤
I’ve never really understood goals. Yes, I get that you focus on a particular goal maybe saving up to buy a bicycle, big tv or whatever- work hard /save & maybe you will achieve(atleast that’s what I thought) but what of it? & as such goal setting has never gripped me. JPs explanation of goals: the underlying circuitry, positive emotion, moving forward etc is nothing short of genius- this is the kind of deep, simply explained teachings that we need. 100% listening to this again
Dr Peterson is the deep thinker guiding me as I stumble along a similar but less clear path. I have kind of disappeared for at least a year to reflect on what's the best direction. My future is my own artwork woven with many subjects ending in y or why? So I have my incentive reward brought about by a clear goal and consequently regained my enthusiasm for my purpose in life. My exploratory circuit is engaged 👍➡
This talk has cleared up so much for me. It is utterly uncanny how much I needed this. It's a framework for understanding the gauntlet I am traversing, and it helps immeasurably.
Great message! To whomever put together the visual montage: please, oh please, let the photos stay for at least 5 seconds! Less than 2 seconds per frame is distracting from the message, doesn't give the eyes time enough to process what's there before it's gone, and contributes to our brains being wired to constantly expect change. I had to close my eyes in order to truly see what Peterson was saying.
the key word here is meaning, if each of us don;t feel we have a meaning in life, we fill that hole with consuming or .........or disolve in the masses because it feels safe....my 2 cheap cents
When driving a car, if you focus only on the goal and not the massive boulder that's blocking the road, you will total your car and possibly lose your life. But if you don't even get into the car out of fear of what could happen, it's on you too (you miss 100% of the shots you don't take). Neither recklessness nor cowardice will get you far.
Replace "those who are willing to listen", with those who are so stupid as to accept advice from self-help gurus. You are in danger of joining Scientology.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪
ou gotta love your self first ,you’ll start seeing things different. Even those who reject you won’t affect you . If it affects you because you’re putting your happiness on other peoples hands. Stay positive , and always put your self first.
I hope more lives find and come to know CHRIST. He is the only being that GIVES meaning to your LIFE (among many other good things which devils don't do for anyone).
I remember a time when I ask my dad when he was going to fix something and he looked at me and said I'm not going to fix that if you want it fixed you fix it. I knew then that the roles have changed. 😮
Every day at any age is a learning experience. Yes, it's true reality hits when you realise your parents are just like you and got to where they were one step at a time, whether it be a good or bad place. We all have the ability but how much we want to reach our goal while surviving the stress & responsibility to get to it is what will make you fulfilled. It's not the things in life like more money so pursuing difficult courses to become a doctor or lawyer bc the money is good is not what life is about. For most it is to find a way to achieve a goal that will sustain you financially as well as the work itself is rewarding. This doesn't mean there won't be stressors or anxiety along the way but using those times to change our attitudes to gratitude towards those stressors will change our altitude and make it easier for us to reach our goals. #❤JPsBrilliantMind
Great speech of Jordan Peterson. However, found the visuals of strangers/actors a little silly and distracting, would prefer just to listen directly to Jordan Peterson speaking
Some people want to be independent and will never be fullfilled and happy working a 9-5 job. Even if they lie to themselves and say they are, deep down they know that they could be living a much better life. So they ask other people for advice, and get discouraged when they hear "get a safe job that pays well". This leads to frustration and depression, living life in a passive mode. A small percentage of these people realises it and decides to pursue their goals. Then of those people, some quit while others push through pain and tribulations, eventually reaching their dreams. This is why only a few succeed, if one realises this, takes action everyday without losing enthusiasm when facing failures, he will inevitably become succesful.
if everyone did that then that would become the new passive mode you are talking about by default. There will always be a minority of over achievers, everyone cannot become rich and everyone cannot be "successful"
Successful means feel successful within yourself . Once in Holland. They had to many teachers so the government gave the redundant teachers a basic wage for a few years so they may spend some time to grow, create, rest . Your job , your career, your mortgage is not your life,.
It's so much easier to have a dozen huge Marijuana sheds on your property. Right desert-dwelling Redneck? And if your neighbors complain - first follow them wherever they go and harass them. If death threats and insults don't work, try running them over in your white , pick-up truck.
Once you learn to not seek the unsustainable emotions of happiness and a fulfillment of the materials things of this world, you truly will find the understanding of being content and being able to live and experience the ups and downs of life without allowing yourself to be effected by the the reality of life. Understand that the only truly good thing that transcends the nature of the world is the joy in your heart and mind, that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savoir and take heart in the fact that he has already won the battle for our souls. Accept that and everything else is irrelevant. You are never alone with Christ in your heart.
Responsibility is the key to freedom and prosperity. Self discipline is the secret to happiness. The important thing is that your responsibilities are integrated with the bigger picture of your life, such as family and relationships. We hear lots of blame these days, but nothing in life will ever bring you as much as personal responsibility.
"Responsibility" another thing you know nothing about. You will learn some hard lessons about it , in prison. It's not smart to attempt to run over your neighbor in your white pick- up truck.
I remember as a child looking forward to holidaying at my grannies house in the Scottish Islands more than Xmas and I got good presents but nothing eclipsed the excitement. Now at almost 60 year old I have the chance to retire there but there are doubts that once I'm settled it might not be the answer. So I believe that if I can't get to be happy here then after a while I might get the same effect there. Its a tough one if I'd made any sense that is.
Nothing is set in stone bar your epitaph.. Not a great feeling i presume to be at near death and wishing that youd made more mistakes in life ..as in you played it too safe . At the same time i understand what you are saying Nearly always a change of surroundings brings different feelings which in turn makes for a different mindset..tho you have to be willing to put in the work ...happiness doesnt come and fall in your lap for anybody.... What i mean when i say nothing is set in stone is.... Stop taking everything so seriously life is supposed to be a song and a dance ..and if uou cant fathom that concept Sir then you will never be happy . Best not to overthink best to do it, if it doesnt work out ,just try something else and something else and something else ..on and on ..its possible you may never acheive the desired happiness your looking for by doing this ..but you wont regret not having tryed new things and also the fact that things will change along the way like perspevtives and goals as you meet new people and new places as you develop on your journey . To stay stagnant out of fear of change and the result of change ..is the other option thats called a sort term safety plan...better to live a short life full of things you like doing than a long life spent in a misserable way .. The last sentence is by philosopher,: The late Alan watts .. He has many many lectures on life and he is worth listening to ..peterson and watts is where its at for me ..I think watts can help you .youl find him on youtube, he helped me. Truth &Love
@@dionoconnell8973 Excellently put and true as fear (False evidence appearing real) has had many people take their dreams and talents to the cemetery. The worst part of it for me is I'm in a position to do it and would also be a grand a year better off and in a house that is fully attached and walking distance to the cold sea. As long as one room in the house is liveable then that's good enough for me. I hate the busyness of London and the rude people I see daily so I'm already starting the empty the flat and not allow any new stuff in. Thanks for taking the time to post this. Johnny Mac
@@johnmacdonald3282 False evidence appearing real ..i like that,im making a mental note of it. To be fair john it all sounds like an amazing change of lifestyle, and i know what your saying as i coulnt live in a big city in the UK anymore ,hence i left that all behind in my mid twenties which was 20 ago.. I like the rural cottage lifestyle that i have in Eire. It was my dads house, and after he passed i sold absolutely everything i had and worked my fingers to the bone to be in a position to buy it. As a teen before moving to the Uk id helped my dad rebuild this house from the derelict old caved in thatch cottage that it was(also only a one liveable room at the time) ...hence alot of memories for me here and i couldnt see it go to anybody else ..as my mum and dad were seperated for 6 yrs but not legally and my dad died intestate there was awful friction due to a certain mercenary family members, and it hasnt been an easy ride to be living in an absolutely gorgeous country home free of mortgage... And here i am and everywhere i look is entirely dads work, all his beautiful master craftsmanship carpentry, i even managed to retain 7 of the 15 acres so im quite privaleged to be in the position that i am.I made alot of sacrifices along the way but its a real honour to be able to utilise and maintain the smallholding that my dad cherished so. In any case thats way more than enough about me .. I do so hope your adventure works out to be as exciting as the first step sounds...i like the sound of the seashore!.., that extra yearly cash youl be saving will help alot towards doing up the house, I see a grand and i visualise a good woodburning stove and a pile of dry seasoned timber . Best of luck man and you deserve it for putting up with all them london plonkers you speak of. Dont forget john......... ENJOY URSELF 💚
HEY, CAN YOU BRING BACK THE " FIND YOUR WHY BY JIM ROHN VIDEO I LOVE LISTENING TO THAT. THE EDIT WAS AWSOME THANK YOU KINDLY. AND LOVE THE TH-cam AS WELL

I've wanted to move away somewhere and just work on playing the bagpipes and work on my hot rods and become part of similar "communities" Work, and trying to keep what I have keeps getting in the way. I almost made it once, and ended up raising another mans children, I'm alone now, except for my cats and it's been wonderful !!!
I agree with you and believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to earn more. I don't know who agrees with me, but I definitely recommend either real estate or cryptocurrencies and stocks
Everyone needs more than wages to be financially stable. The best thing you can do with your money is to invest it properly because the money left over to save always ends up with no return.
This isn't the first time I've seen her name on a social platform. I think she is extremely brilliant and lucrative. Thanks for this information. I am convinced to trade with her now!

I disappeared digitally for ten years. A whole decade without internet, or mobile phone, whilst living in an outreach area. Relied on a pay phone. But, yeah, went a whole decade without any forms of internet, social media or online activity. Just to prove to myself that that could actually be done. That one can exist without the cables and online presence. So, as I HAVE done that, and no one else HAS, harassment towards me for "troll" behaviours, is not only inaccurate, it is most likely coming from trolls themselves who haven't done, what I did.
I have the issue of moving away and to be happy with less.. How Can I as a man be happy with a smaller garage, but with a new house and less space when I work as a Car Mechanic and have project that I need a garage for? The issue is not moving away, but rather beeing satisfied with a smaller place where there are not enough space for my things?
I left the World of Man 20 years ago when i realized it was going to hell..and i didn't want to follow, i decided to walk in Faith with Christ instead.

The strong are those who have the clearest vision of what is before them and go out to meet it. The more you don’t quit, the more self respect you gain. When you work, only work on one thing at a time, think about the task in front of you and pursue it relentlessly.
This is for all you beautiful souls: Stay focused, believe in yourself and keep moving forward. You're getting closer to your goals with each step you take! ❤
I’ve never really understood goals.
Yes, I get that you focus on a particular goal maybe saving up to buy a bicycle, big tv or whatever- work hard /save & maybe you will achieve(atleast that’s what I thought) but what of it? & as such goal setting has never gripped me. JPs explanation of goals: the underlying circuitry, positive emotion, moving forward etc is nothing short of genius- this is the kind of deep, simply explained teachings that we need.
100% listening to this again

I needed this. Managed to de-scale my kettle AND clean my gum-boots after watching this. Couldn't have done it without you guys, so inspirational!
hahahahaha
Dr Peterson is the deep thinker guiding me as I stumble along a similar but less clear path.
I have kind of disappeared for at least a year to reflect on what's the best direction.
My future is my own artwork woven with many subjects ending in y or why?
So I have my incentive reward brought about by a clear goal and consequently regained my enthusiasm for my purpose in life.
My exploratory circuit is engaged 👍➡
Goal is there for us to keep living, so we can keep trying to reach it.
“To go from a bad state to a better, you have to go through a worst state first”
Wow. Word to the wise
Which wouldnt be me unfortunately
But from today onwards it is
Beginning to make sense
Heartfelt gratitude !
This talk has cleared up so much for me. It is utterly uncanny how much I needed this. It's a framework for understanding the gauntlet I am traversing, and it helps immeasurably.
Great message!
To whomever put together the visual montage: please, oh please, let the photos stay for at least 5 seconds! Less than 2 seconds per frame is distracting from the message, doesn't give the eyes time enough to process what's there before it's gone, and contributes to our brains being wired to constantly expect change. I had to close my eyes in order to truly see what Peterson was saying.
the key word here is meaning, if each of us don;t feel we have a meaning in life, we fill that hole with consuming or .........or disolve in the masses because it feels safe....my 2 cheap cents
Focus on the goal and not the risk. Truly great content 🤝🤝🤝🤝
Yeah, unfortunately the only aspect of my life I was actually following this was trading stocks, do not recommend.
When driving a car, if you focus only on the goal and not the massive boulder that's blocking the road, you will total your car and possibly lose your life. But if you don't even get into the car out of fear of what could happen, it's on you too (you miss 100% of the shots you don't take). Neither recklessness nor cowardice will get you far.
'One man's meat is another man's poison.' Traditional. They got that one right..
I don't know if Mr. Petersen knows how important he his, and the greatness of those he helps who are willing to listen.
Replace "those who are willing to listen", with those who are so stupid as to accept advice from self-help gurus. You are in danger of joining Scientology.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪
Always need to follow purpose 😊❤
ou gotta love your self first ,you’ll start seeing things different.
Even those who reject you won’t affect you .
If it affects you because you’re putting your happiness on other peoples hands.
Stay positive , and always put your self first.
❤ Thank You! 👍🙂
I watch these while I’m working out
I hope more lives find and come to know CHRIST. He is the only being that GIVES meaning to your LIFE (among many other good things which devils don't do for anyone).
I remember a time when I ask my dad when he was going to fix something and he looked at me and said I'm not going to fix that if you want it fixed you fix it. I knew then that the roles have changed. 😮
The last 2 minutes of this video spoke so clearly to me
❤📥..
One good decision at a time !
So true it hit me hard these words. Thank you. Thank you 🙏
Hearing JP talk about breaking bad is great
Every day at any age is a learning experience. Yes, it's true reality hits when you realise your parents are just like you and got to where they were one step at a time, whether it be a good or bad place. We all have the ability but how much we want to reach our goal while surviving the stress & responsibility to get to it is what will make you fulfilled. It's not the things in life like more money so pursuing difficult courses to become a doctor or lawyer bc the money is good is not what life is about. For most it is to find a way to achieve a goal that will sustain you financially as well as the work itself is rewarding. This doesn't mean there won't be stressors or anxiety along the way but using those times to change our attitudes to gratitude towards those stressors will change our altitude and make it easier for us to reach our goals. #❤JPsBrilliantMind
I liked this. just know 1 year later somebody needed to hear what you had to say. thank you, have a good night. 💙
waow.... so inspirating and make me cry at the end of the video. Because I have been there..
Please do not lose yourself chasing your goals. Everything comes at a cost
Great speech of Jordan Peterson. However, found the visuals of strangers/actors a little silly and distracting, would prefer just to listen directly to Jordan Peterson speaking
Yep funny how the right videos of JP come up at the right time.
Some people want to be independent and will never be fullfilled and happy working a 9-5 job. Even if they lie to themselves and say they are, deep down they know that they could be living a much better life. So they ask other people for advice, and get discouraged when they hear "get a safe job that pays well". This leads to frustration and depression, living life in a passive mode. A small percentage of these people realises it and decides to pursue their goals. Then of those people, some quit while others push through pain and tribulations, eventually reaching their dreams. This is why only a few succeed, if one realises this, takes action everyday without losing enthusiasm when facing failures, he will inevitably become succesful.
if everyone did that then that would become the new passive mode you are talking about by default. There will always be a minority of over achievers, everyone cannot become rich and everyone cannot be "successful"
Successful means feel successful within yourself . Once in Holland. They had to many teachers so the government gave the redundant teachers a basic wage for a few years so they may spend some time to grow, create, rest .
Your job , your career, your mortgage is not your life,.
It's so much easier to have a dozen huge Marijuana sheds on your property. Right desert-dwelling Redneck? And if your neighbors complain - first follow them wherever they go and harass them. If death threats and insults don't work, try running them over in your white , pick-up truck.
It's about finding the job that hurts but it makes you happy
Very informative
Focus on your goal
A man needs 2 things: love, responsability, or find something valuable to do. 😁
Thank you for sharing!
A good compilation of what it takes to achieve goals/dreams.
Oh that ending. That sweet beautiful ending.
Very good in depth understanding.
Wow ❤️ the words, the music in the video, the visuals, the message... Jordan Peterson is so inspiring ❤️
he's standing next to a orchestra while reading
Keep trying to run me over(in your white double cab pick-up) and you'll get your reward, dull-witted little internet troll.

I am actually thinking of just disapiering , go radio silent for a month at the begging , so I can just grind and experience the feeling
Once you learn to not seek the unsustainable emotions of happiness and a fulfillment of the materials things of this world, you truly will find the understanding of being content and being able to live and experience the ups and downs of life without allowing yourself to be effected by the the reality of life. Understand that the only truly good thing that transcends the nature of the world is the joy in your heart and mind, that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savoir and take heart in the fact that he has already won the battle for our souls. Accept that and everything else is irrelevant. You are never alone with Christ in your heart.
Responsibility is the key to freedom and prosperity. Self discipline is the secret to happiness. The important thing is that your responsibilities are integrated with the bigger picture of your life, such as family and relationships. We hear lots of blame these days, but nothing in life will ever bring you as much as personal responsibility.
"Responsibility" another thing you know nothing about. You will learn some hard lessons about it , in prison. It's not smart to attempt to run over your neighbor in your white pick- up truck.

Nice video.
building on sand.
I remember as a child looking forward to holidaying at my grannies house in the Scottish Islands more than Xmas and I got good presents but nothing eclipsed the excitement. Now at almost 60 year old I have the chance to retire there but there are doubts that once I'm settled it might not be the answer. So I believe that if I can't get to be happy here then after a while I might get the same effect there. Its a tough one if I'd made any sense that is.
Nothing is set in stone bar your epitaph.. Not a great feeling i presume to be at near death and wishing that youd made more mistakes in life ..as in you played it too safe . At the same time i understand what you are saying Nearly always a change of surroundings brings different feelings which in turn makes for a different mindset..tho you have to be willing to put in the work ...happiness doesnt come and fall in your lap for anybody.... What i mean when i say nothing is set in stone is.... Stop taking everything so seriously life is supposed to be a song and a dance ..and if uou cant fathom that concept Sir then you will never be happy . Best not to overthink best to do it, if it doesnt work out ,just try something else and something else and something else ..on and on ..its possible you may never acheive the desired happiness your looking for by doing this ..but you wont regret not having tryed new things and also the fact that things will change along the way like perspevtives and goals as you meet new people and new places as you develop on your journey . To stay stagnant out of fear of change and the result of change ..is the other option thats called a sort term safety plan...better to live a short life full of things you like doing than a long life spent in a misserable way .. The last sentence is by philosopher,: The late Alan watts .. He has many many lectures on life and he is worth listening to ..peterson and watts is where its at for me ..I think watts can help you .youl find him on youtube, he helped me. Truth &Love
@@dionoconnell8973 Excellently put and true as fear (False evidence appearing real) has had many people take their dreams and talents to the cemetery. The worst part of it for me is I'm in a position to do it and would also be a grand a year better off and in a house that is fully attached and walking distance to the cold sea. As long as one room in the house is liveable then that's good enough for me. I hate the busyness of London and the rude people I see daily so I'm already starting the empty the flat and not allow any new stuff in.
Thanks for taking the time to post this.

@@johnmacdonald3282 False evidence appearing real ..i like that,im making a mental note of it. To be fair john it all sounds like an amazing change of lifestyle, and i know what your saying as i coulnt live in a big city in the UK anymore ,hence i left that all behind in my mid twenties which was 20 ago.. I like the rural cottage lifestyle that i have in Eire. It was my dads house, and after he passed i sold absolutely everything i had and worked my fingers to the bone to be in a position to buy it. As a teen before moving to the Uk id helped my dad rebuild this house from the derelict old caved in thatch cottage that it was(also only a one liveable room at the time) ...hence alot of memories for me here and i couldnt see it go to anybody else ..as my mum and dad were seperated for 6 yrs but not legally and my dad died intestate there was awful friction due to a certain mercenary family members, and it hasnt been an easy ride to be living in an absolutely gorgeous country home free of mortgage... And here i am and everywhere i look is entirely dads work, all his beautiful master craftsmanship carpentry, i even managed to retain 7 of the 15 acres so im quite privaleged to be in the position that i am.I made alot of sacrifices along the way but its a real honour to be able to utilise and maintain the smallholding that my dad cherished so.
In any case thats way more than enough about me .. I do so hope your adventure works out to be as exciting as the first step sounds...i like the sound of the seashore!.., that extra yearly cash youl be saving will help alot towards doing up the house, I see a grand and i visualise a good woodburning stove and a pile of dry seasoned timber .
Best of luck man and you deserve it for putting up with all them london plonkers you speak of.
Dont forget john.........

This channel has upgraded my whole life! ❤🏆🙏🏽 Hope my video can inspire you guys too ☺
Most people can't handle spiritual growth..its really painful..
where is the link to full talk?
HEY, CAN YOU BRING BACK THE " FIND YOUR WHY BY JIM ROHN VIDEO I LOVE LISTENING TO THAT. THE EDIT WAS AWSOME THANK YOU KINDLY. AND LOVE THE TH-cam AS WELL
what is the original talk title by Peterson ? Is this an excerpt or the entire video? I follow Peterson and haven't seen this video. thanks
True Words 💫
I did that for 3 years and guess what Noone cares... I only got to learnt that the values we provide to the world through interaction and engaging with people is what makes one relevant
It still amazes me how kermit the frog grew up to be so wise
I've wanted to move away somewhere and just work on playing the bagpipes and work on my hot rods and become part of similar "communities" Work, and trying to keep what I have keeps getting in the way. I almost made it once, and ended up raising another mans children, I'm alone now, except for my cats and it's been wonderful !!!
I'll ❤️
Investment is key. If you don't find a way to multiply your income, you will wake up one day and find that the money you had is gone.
I agree with you and believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to earn more. I don't know who agrees with me, but I definitely recommend either real estate or cryptocurrencies and stocks
Everyone needs more than wages to be financially stable. The best thing you can do with your money is to invest it properly because the money left over to save always ends up with no return.
Please I'm really interested, how can I reach you?
This isn't the first time I've seen her name on a social platform. I think she is extremely brilliant and lucrative. Thanks for this information. I am convinced to trade with her now!
I also trade with expert Ms Alaia George, a regulated broker in the UK. Met her at a startup funding event early last year. She had some interesting things to say about the current state of algorithmic trading. I can see the results clearly
I disappeared digitally for ten years.
A whole decade without internet, or mobile phone, whilst living in an outreach area.
Relied on a pay phone.
But, yeah, went a whole decade without any forms of internet, social media or online activity.
Just to prove to myself that that could actually be done. That one can exist without the cables and online presence.
So, as I HAVE done that, and no one else HAS, harassment towards me for "troll" behaviours, is not only inaccurate, it is most likely coming from trolls themselves who haven't done, what I did.
What's the main thing you learned in that period of time?
I’ve chosen to bear the burden. Now, what burden…
The thing is the future of everything has been planned before we were born so we try to figure it out

It's not nihilistic to say:
“‘Meaningless! Meaningless!
Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless’”
It's liberating.
No, it isn't, and it isn't true either, unless you have some very weird definition of what constitutes "meaning."
The terrible truth... the beautiful lie...
If it's meaningless end it. Tired of the lies, what u say should always be the truth especially in this age of lies.
Didn’t listen to the video huh?
I have the issue of moving away and to be happy with less.. How Can I as a man be happy with a smaller garage, but with a new house and less space when I work as a Car Mechanic and have project that I need a garage for? The issue is not moving away, but rather beeing satisfied with a smaller place where there are not enough space for my things?
I left the World of Man 20 years ago when i realized it was going to hell..and i didn't want to follow, i decided to walk in Faith with Christ instead.
I don't have credit cards, bank accounts, cell phone, not a twit that tweets, no tiktok or reddit.
I do have TH-cam to share what i have learned.

I literally felt he was talking about me….
0:37 “If you don’t have a goal that you value, you can’t have any positive emotion” Really? I’d like to see a proof of that!
Dont take it too literall.
Make me.
I don't have a fooken year. JP told me that it's already too late.
Motivation and Jordan Peterson? You must be joking!
