Prof. Jordan Peterson on Wanting and Having

The good Professor makes the observation that it can be better to 'want' than to 'have'.
In this short clip from his Maps and Meaning lecture in 2016, Jordan teaches his students what they already know about the human condition, i.e. getting to our goals is not what we want, and that what we really want is to make sure that the journey is worth it. It's the journey which is exciting and fun, and makes us feel alive, whereas acquiring our goal may satisfy us, but the excitement vanishes.
