Sacrifice is a practice of suffering, which is quintessential to life. Joy not a guarantee, but we must work and sacrifice while being able to identify joy when and if it comes to us in our work and self sacrifice. I've always believed this to be true. I experienced this early as a child when I would see my father come home, covered in dirt and mud (a laborer), say hello to my mother and his 6 children and play for a moment and then fall asleep almost mid sentence on the couch. I would sit on the floor by his feet just amazed that a man so big and so strong could be so tired. I could only imagine how difficult his work was, and knew this was his sacrifice for us, his family. Now with my two infant sons I feel this same degree of sacrifice taking place within my family's life, but what's different is the joy I receive. I never felt this joy as a child, or any time else in my life as I do now coming home exhausted from work only to kiss my wife and have my son run to hug me and then to hold my newborn only to fall asleep with him in my arms. I'm often gone for days, often without sleep, and often stressed to my breaking point during the worst moments of my work, but this sacrifice, this committed sacrifice to the future and my family albeit hard, I now have a joy like no other. Even if just for a moment as I fall asleep in exhaustion as my father did. Sacrifice is the biblical human experience. It is symbolic to the commitment made through sacrifice as Peterson says, for the first community of family, and thereunto neighbors as would be self, etc. Children are the transformative and redemptive joy God gives us, as did he unto us with his son Jesus Christ. But as I would lay down my life for my children and wife without hesitation, God laid down his son for our sin. I come to tears thinking about that now for the first time as a father. What God has sacrifice for us, as I hold my son's.
@@Kyouma. Not quite. You've sacrificed today for a better tomorrow. Which means more time for yourself. If sitting in the park 🏞️ watching the sunrise 🌄 is what makes you happy then 100% that's your choice. But in today's world where there are 1000 dopamine inducing distractions. You are forfeiting that future that allows you that freedom.
@@GSS_94 Not quite, because "tomorrow never comes." There's a restaurant in Italy with a sign at the entrance that says "Tomorrow, you can eat here for free". See what's implied there? There's also the story of the fisher and the businessman. You might want to read it
It is also a challenge, a difficult thing for me to overcome. First, when I watch his speech, I feel quite depressed. I have to watch the video many time, figure out the meaning, learn many crazy new vocabs. But when I eventually grasp his idea, I feel fullfilled, enjoyable and satisfied.
Jordan Peterson is a modern day prophet. I mean no offense to those who would find this to be sacrilegious or condemn me for idolization. But this remains cogent in my mind. Jordan is highly intelligent, has counseled many people in different walks of life, and he has the distinct ability to channel the thoughts and words he has directly into the cultural context required to speak to mankind’s minds and souls, within such a time as today. What that means, I’ll never truly understand. I’ve listened to many different people on the internet. Reality is difficult to interpret within a digital context. I’d have to meet the man in person to get a better sense of his being, but he stands out because he gets to the bedrock of our collective plight.
Jordan is the ultimate source of wisdom. I also have never met anyone who can produce and convey His thoughts in such clear and passionate manner. I have tremendous respect for this person.
In this context I like to say myself that tomorrow comes. Tomorrow comes, the day after that, the week after that and so on and so forth. As a addict its really hard to sacrifice the momentarily pleasure and impulsive nature that comes along with it but is it impossible? No, its not. Have really started to treat myself as a friend of mine who needs help and this is changing the relationship I have with myself and I try not to curse and go hard a lot on myself which really just guilt trips me and the pattern begins if you know what I mean. Change is hard, sacrifice is hard but I am choosing my suffering and sacrifice. As a first step, I am cutting myself from all the folks which are too deep or are pulling me back or cueing me to take those actions. Its a long and tough process and I am not making false commitment to myself by telling that just do it today and we will leave tomorrow. Phew!!!!! Choose life, folks choose life Love you all.
Jesus said take up your cross DAILY and follow me. We must die to ourselves DAILY. That is the path to peace and joy in Almighty God. And earn eternal life in heaven with him.
It is crucial to remind people that embedding discipline in our life and no matter whatever you do, you try to feel connected to what you are doing and take little victories along the way. Mutual understanding and sharing good or bad times with people you trust that would make a better community.
Words for our present generation who seem to have lost the meaning of real work and sacrifice, God bless Dr. Peterson, there’s hope for the survival of our western civilization
I'm in my 30's and on one end I feel like post-maturing and discipline I find myself wrestling to get that spirit of play back into my life but at the same time it almost feels like it's the spirit of play trying to wrestle itself back. As if it's telling me "okay work and discipline is going well, however, it'll never be truly enough despite you grinding full speed as if there's a finish line on the horizon. And since it'll never end, it's time to bring play and wonder back into the equation as we continue our journey". I love seeing that it hasn't died in my heart or my mind but I also struggle with feelings of guilt when I engage with play, my mind telling me I could be spending more time getting us out of the sweat and toil. Life is hard lol
Well, gotta say on a way superficial level; Killer suit Mr. Peterson!!! Wondrous depth of understanding of the fallen Human Condition with fixes as well!
Reminds me of a quote from the character 1900 from La legenda del pianista sull'oceano "On a piano, there are so many keys and you are infinite. On a piano with infinite keys there is no music you can make. That's God's Piano."
I can claim that so good to have someone articulate what I've experienced. Id pay big money to have 1 hr with you and share. Iv been told to write that book.. and mine would sell.. so maybe i should just make that my goal and aim. Thanx Jordan!!!
Sacrifice the negative things in life for the positives. Sacrifice weakness for strength. Sacrifice ignorance for knowledge and understanding. Sacrifice the ego for humility.
Matthew 7:13-14 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
So that inspirational Dr Peterson! Though I've heard your words many times and never cease to amaze me. And always surprised at how inspirational they are these words that come from your soul. Thank you so very much!
i am sacrificing my youthful to gain my dream. Only one dream, i believe it can determine who i am. 5 years ago, it is impossible for me, little by little, I can see the possibility
I remember in my early teens having an epiphany about work realizing even if there was No monetary system we would still have to work extremely hard to survive We were built for work
there is no future for some ppl there is no reward if you work harder just more work and same or less pay..i am in Romania is useless to bea a real good worker since if you are no bootliker you wont go anywere..that is why i work hard just to be able to get out of this dam country..so many ppl dont see the real Romania we are experts in posing to be something we are not i am sick and tired and i wont my children to get out of here and have a chance for a better life then this lie we live in and call a country
Editor please add subtitles, I feel like a lot of the things he says can quickly go by you sometimes and subtitles really help keep your attention. Not to say he isn’t clear or anything. As always a masterpiece from one of our time’s greatest thinkers.
One of the benefits of smart phones, is that we, as a human race, have to source all intelligence. Those who have access to our intellectual property will utilise our intelligence, whilst giving the origin of the idea a denial of ego. Ego is potent, like an appetite that can not be fulfilled. Human beings are conduits of ideas. Ideas can not die, rather they have to be manifested into the objective world.
We have yet to utilize a philosophy and ethic for the dawn of this pervasive technology. How we interact with it is within our own free will, but we are constrained by our societal norms. Then we have to encounter the vast amount of people who exist within and without our communities. This is a problem and solution at the same time. But the technology has undoubtedly changed the way we as humans interact with one another.
I think a lot of us are tempted to forgo our best judgement in favor of short-term gratification while we're young because the future seems so far away, especially in today's generation where people have become increasingly cynical. Establishing self-discipline is probably the best first step for developing a productive habit. Once something becomes a regular part of your schedule, you'll be much less tempted to make rash decisions.
The biggest problem I find with sacrifice, is studying. I know it's the sacrifice I should do and have to do but it is just impossible to *actually do it.* It's so unbearably painful. Just reading something and trying to force information in my brain causes me mental anguish. The sole idea of studying already causes me a physiological reaction of disgust and tension. I would rather experience intense physical pain than having to study. I genuinely do not understand how can people do it. Let alone the fact that our ENTIRE SOCIETY stands on people being capable of studying! It's such a mystery to me. How on earth can people do it? How is such an stupid and absurd amount of suffering even possible to do *willingly? HOW?* And there's even people who enjoy it. WHO ENJOY IT!!! WHAT THE HELL. I know the sacrifice is right THERE. Studying. Fvcking studying! I know I will have to retire some day and somehow that's. STILL. NOT. ENOUGH. to make me FVCKING move!! I don't know what so wrong with me. What's so broken about my useless stupid brain. How could nature produce such a failure of a human being? 1:33 that actually sounds great. Life is just a long, painful *chore.* A horrible experience altogether. Problems, anxiety, suffering, the constant dread of the future, unbearable loneliness. Why wouldn't I want exactly that? To enjoy some time then be fvcking done with all this crap? Why would I want to keep living? What so great about so much suffering? So much pain? I wish I had no tomorrow. Life is shit.
I'm right there with you. forcing information into yourself is painful and has the least noticeable impact out of different sacrifices but it will open up many doors and keep your mind from deteriorating. Jesus said to be like little children to enter heaven. This means, in my opinion, to experience the world without the cynicism and hopelessness I fight daily. to have deep wonder and interest in what is in front of you. What may help you is to find someone older and more knowledgeable on the topic you are studying so that you can be a little child just curious about the subject. I know you have the ability to achieve the goals you want to. don't let the adversary win. God bless you and let his face appear to you
Embracing discipline and self-regulation now can lead to substantial rewards in the future, aligning our actions with our ambitions for personal growth. ⚙
Yeah just be careful about sacrificing your time to the wrong thing. I'm all for sacrificing time, but man you won't know it was the wrong thing to spend time on until it's too late.
I'm not sure if Mr. Peterson reads his comments, but I have a question. WHAT DOES MR. PETERSON THINK ABOUT SGB? Isn't it bad how they are making ppl so emotionless? Or am i understanding it wrong?
Ridiculous. There are myriad reasons for people to do what they hate ESPECIALLY in a modern world, not the least of which is a lack of education,ability to learn new skills. Millions of people only have the choice of doing what they “hate” to get by in this world. But hey! That’s very first world of you!👍
Sacrifice is the foundation that every choice is built on. Usually, it's sacrificing one thing for the other, but it can be so much more when the choice matters more. Choose to have children? Get ready to sacrifice that carefree lifestyle you're living right now.
But a LOT of our sacrifice goes to the greedy elites. This is how the world has been manipulated into being. It's why hobby farmers, and people who live like the Amish are being curtailed, pressured and even persecuted. SO, where does the 'sacrifice' need to be - ! Universal Sovereign Citizen
I don’t care about my future im only 21 and already addicted to lots of bad stuff like alcohol and that’s all I care about I don’t care who my future or if I live or die I’ve lost all hope
How much of the present should you sacrifice for the future? If you sacrifice all of it you never live in the present, if you sacrifice none you’ll be destitute in no time.

How was temple in his part? Yes. Have? Been. Sacrificing all my life? I'm 66 and I'm still sacrificing giving up more and more everyday for less and less in return. Hes so arrogant at times it makes my head spin.
Gotta fundamentally disagree with Peterson on this one. "Better to live a short life full of what one likes doing than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts.
Video title: ..., but not in the way that that used to be done. In the 2020s, prepare for the collapse of the insolvent banks. Prepare for timed CBDCs.
I’m sure you’re tried all kinds of stuff But have you tried extreme ketosis like carnivore Have you tried systemic enzymes And gotten off all over the counter and prescription drugs? Have you tried strengthen the muscle ligaments and tendons around the joints through resistance training and mobility training? A lot of things in life are redeemable still with hard work and time
The body is a whole system not individual parts working separately from others. If you make the whole system healthier and stronger it can all get healthier
True but who do you think listens to Jordan the most? It’s mostly gen z and millennial young men..some young women too but it’s mostly young people. Clearly he has an audience and clearly there’s some of us with a good head on our shoulders
"Sacrificing now, for the future" is actually what makes a difference between humans and animals. That principle has evolved into an exponential power growth between our species and any other species. - Also known as discipline.
Completelly agree Dr., I must admit I've paused the video And I hope not to get you anrgy about this. Honestly, the more I hear from the more is my life shines

There is nothing to enjoy today. There is nothing to plan for tomorrow.

Isn't it bad how they are making ppl so emotionless? Or am i understanding it wrong?

Billions of things to do in the World..... no excuse to do what you hate in the modern world.
Ridiculous. There are myriad reasons for people to do what they hate ESPECIALLY in a modern world, not the least of which is a lack of education,ability to learn new skills. Millions of people only have the choice of doing what they “hate” to get by in this world. But hey! That’s very first world of you!👍
Never understood anyone works on anything they dislike for 30 years.... don't care how much they pay!!
Sacrifice is the foundation that every choice is built on. Usually, it's sacrificing one thing for the other, but it can be so much more when the choice matters more. Choose to have children? Get ready to sacrifice that carefree lifestyle you're living right now.
But a LOT of our sacrifice goes to the greedy elites. This is how the world has been manipulated into being.
It's why hobby farmers, and people who live like the Amish are being curtailed, pressured and even persecuted.
SO, where does the 'sacrifice' need to be - !

Right
i do things the right way round
i plan my future using my present and life experience from the past
and u lot are not in my future
Agreed
Our elders stole our futures
Fuck my life! Everything I've made is sacrifice yet this is the closest I've ever felt to send myself to meet my creator if there's one.
I don’t care about my future im only 21 and already addicted to lots of bad stuff like alcohol and that’s all I care about I don’t care who my future or if I live or die I’ve lost all hope
bro you're pretty good at playing piano and people enjoy it. what do you suppose is your current passion in life?
All those who are not doing their fair share in serving humanity...they HINDER a lot of everyone else in various ways.
Alcohol should not be as widely available as it is. It’s a tricky drug
How much of the present should you sacrifice for the future? If you sacrifice all of it you never live in the present, if you sacrifice none you’ll be destitute in no time.

How much is too much?
Karoshi is a thing
How was temple in his part? Yes. Have? Been. Sacrificing all my life? I'm 66 and I'm still sacrificing giving up more and more everyday for less and less in return.
Hes so arrogant at times it makes my head spin.
This is "work hard, play hard" much more beautifully put.
All this works until you find you are dying of a brain tumor at age 38.
Gotta fundamentally disagree with Peterson on this one.

when was this filmed?
I had a suit just like that but my uncle stole it

..., but not in the way that that used to be done.
In the 2020s, prepare for the collapse of the insolvent banks. Prepare for timed CBDCs.
Im a bricklayer with arthritis at 40. Be careful what you sacrifice.
I’m sure you’re tried all kinds of stuff
But have you tried extreme ketosis like carnivore
Have you tried systemic enzymes
And gotten off all over the counter and prescription drugs?
Have you tried strengthen the muscle ligaments and tendons around the joints through resistance training and mobility training?
A lot of things in life are redeemable still with hard work and time
The body is a whole system not individual parts working separately from others. If you make the whole system healthier and stronger it can all get healthier
@@Timothy_Himothy1 I realize that. Unfortunately I've been diagnosed with autism, have no family and nobody loves me. "When the body says no" indeed.
Tomorrow doesn’t exist it’s the present

....I would Say we are infront of Plato ...Oe Sócrates ..but barely notice ;)
A lot of Gen Z entitled kids won’t understand this knowledgeable speech …
True but who do you think listens to Jordan the most? It’s mostly gen z and millennial young men..some young women too but it’s mostly young people. Clearly he has an audience and clearly there’s some of us with a good head on our shoulders
Why spend your time on such great insight to come back and criticise a whole Gen. No offence not is 2024 we’re supposed to be building each other hey
"Go to the Gym", thats the modern representation of God telling Adam to toil and suffer
Isn't "working smart" a substitute for "working hard?"
I love you but unfortunately sacrificing for work got me used…
"Sacrificing now, for the future" is actually what makes a difference between humans and animals. That principle has evolved into an exponential power growth between our species and any other species.
