@Tiktaalik Ease off the fumes bud. You are acting rather irrational and overly emotional. Perhaps you would be so kind as to present any tangible evidence to back such claims, rather than throw a tantrum.
As a perfectionist this hit home hard. It prevents me from attempting anything I know I'm not fully capable of completing without fault. That may be fine in the workplace (most of the time) but in social situations where failure is a given it just arrests any kind of emotional development. I'm a 13 year old in the shape of an adult. Being a perfectionist in life is NOT a good thing.
After working on my imperfect perfectionism for six decades I may have some insight. ** Sometimes it's actually fear. The way to overcome fear is to do it, Peterson says so too. Despite plenty of dating rejections and disappointments I am God-blessed with my wife of 35 years. **attainable excellence is excellence nonetheless. I got good grades at a state college. I was a pilot but not a fighter pilot. I've f'ed up at times but also averted a crash and saved lives. **A reputation as a slow computer programmer but also told: "I don't care because the quality is so good." **Learn to cook a couple of things well. I make a darn good Ruben sandwich and chocolate chip cookie. **It's always easier when you let yourself have fun doing it. **Small victories are very satisfying and motivating.
Fear has a funny way of impressing us with things we don't appreciate. It makes monsters out of ordinary people and animals. It builds mountains out of mole hills. I've yet to try something I was afraid of trying and not find it considerably less painful than I'd expected. More often, I've found a hidden appreciation for the thing I was afraid of trying. At the very least, I've found (or cultivated) a dutiful respect for the other people who do the thing I was afraid to try. Perfectionism... tends more to be an excuse. Of course you're going to screw it up before you get really good at it. BUT it's not going to screw itself up either so you can just start out good at it. AND just for the record, I've hidden behind "perfectionism" too. It's a human frailty. We often rationalize when we shouldn't. We're often lazy out of the abject horror of wrecking an otherwise stellar(?) reputation... but is that reputation so stellar? Probably not. At the very least, it's probably not as stellar as we like to think. We are (after all) usually the engineers of our own disasters. BUT if we don't put in the practice, we can't get "good" at anything. ;o)
You cant do something hard and complex perfect the first time.Noone can.If you're not willing to be a fool you'll never be a master.So prepare yourself,you'll be made fun off, you'll feel inadequet,People will hurt you.But if you stick to it for a long time with patience and persistance the taunting will become applause.
knowledge that perfection is impossible to reach does not mean failure is guaranteed, everything is flawed in the world, true perfection does not exist, the idea of perfection itself is a human construct created by society so that we always have something to aspire to be, our idea of perfection constantly changes when we reach what we previously thought to be perfect, but be aware that there's no such thing as mastering something completely, acknowledging that your knowledge no matter how much you have, is just a drop in the bucket compared to what the world offers is the key to acquiring more knowledge, because if you believe you've mastered something you're ignoring the fountain of knowledge that awaits you, all you have to do is go after it

Well, Nass, you articulated quite well, I think, Dr. Peterson's striving to develop his thinking and individuated, nuanced speech. He oftentimes utilizes his public communications (and tactful showmanship, indeed!), to avoid overintellectualizing, thereby bypassing alienating eager individuals, while at once incorporating that which may be, across all cultural, moral, and ethical boundaries readily identifiable through emotionally-based, extremely potent explanations and point of view; these viewpoints extoll explanations, I think, remain wholly or near-entirely neglected by academics. Many academics like Dr. Peterson without, I easily admit, any personal knowledge or awareness thereof said types -- are probably, and understandably, unwilling to meet those who've not necessarily 'earned' or 'pay for' access to what Peterson, in contrast, has become over the years, and is becoming even still; A, as you first said Nass, "his own man." Well said. Very well stated, I think! Warmest regards to you and thank you for your input. If you feel, you will inevitably think, evidenced by your statements above, so finding the words will become easier and easier once you delve more and more into point-counterpoint, various (mystical, or non-mystical) paradoxes, linguistics, mathematical modeling, etc. Really: Anything you wish to engage in. I wish you the best of luck, which I do genuinely mean! I hope you have a good day, Nass, and I really appreciate your thought-provoking exclamations abovestated regarding Dr. Peterson. Your expressive honesty and highly perceptive abilities, which you most probably maintain all the time, will serve you well; so why not others, too?
All the running away from myself just brought me back. Ite been so interesting responding to life differently. Not trying to control, its taken away alot stress.

"The third you're full of faults, doesn't mean you have to stop; and the fact that you're full of faults, doesn't mean you can't learn" -- Jordan Peterson. Good quote. So true, we're not born experts. Back when I was a kid; there was a saying, "Practice makes perfect".
Thank you Mr. Peterson. You have no idea how much you have helped me in my journey! Everything you are saying here is Exactly what I am going through right now! God sent this video to me this morning, I just know it!! And I am in a bad relationship and working my way out of the hell! The Lord assured me that I would be saved and I want you to know that you were one of the people in that helped me create the relationship I have now with God. So thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! 😭🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️ God bless you and your beautiful family! I really hope I get to meet you someday.
I have a very short attention span and I’m easily distracted but when I hear Jordan Peterson speak.. I’m dead silent and not moving, my eyes are locked on the screen, I get a very serious facial expression, I listen carefully and ignore everything else. It’s incredible.
Sadly, I didn’t figure his out until I was in my mid 40’s. I wish I had a Jordan Peterson when I was a kid. If you’re young right now, LISTEN TO THIS GUY. He’s got a good heart, and he’s super smart. He’s saying what’s right, and you don’t hear that much these days, especially on RUclips or Twitter.
This is so... GENIUS. I cannot believe it. Especially the last part. I have watched a looot of JP clips including this one. But then you forget about them and then return here when you feel completely lost again and fall in old patterns. So the last few weeks I've been thinking about what I'm doing wrong and I ignore the JP clips in my feed, because "I already watched them so apparently they don't work". But then I click anyway and then I get my answer in those last couple of minutes; THE FACT THAT YOU'RE FULL OF FAULTS DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO STOP. AND IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T LEARN.!! I have to remember that in fact I'll most likely fail often and horribly in the beginning especially.
And thank you for the advice on the spiritual awakening. I had no idea what I was getting myself into! It’s like I had to kill off at least a hundred me’s that didn’t serve me. Today is a much better day. 😇 always choosing joy.
This vid made me realize that i can never be "good" enough and that it actually a good thing. You can learn something perfect it, but you'll always have something to learn. You'll be always a babbling kid in some areas, you just gotta take action in it and improve on it and then start over and over again, still having something to learn. It chills me to bones and prevent me to overthink.
So, do badly every day and enjoy every minute of your journey towards achieving the unreachable goal of perfection. The mantra of every (great) artist.
Providence. Grace upon me. I needed this right now like a man dying of thirst needs water to live a minute longer and longer after that. This saved my life. Thank you!
Well damn this sure explains the trail of absolutely catastrophic decisions I have made in the last 37 years of my life.... but hey at least I have returned to University to finally finish my engineering degree as I promised myself to do long, long ago...
Learn to read music- I have attempted and failed many times... I'm only keeping myself from doing it because of fear of failure. In the back of my mind, I know I will succeed because there is the nagging thought that success is possible even though millions of failed attempts lie ahead. Thank you Jordan Peterson, we all thank you.
If you do this process he describes enough it becomes a skill in the greater picture. Ultimately it is the skill of improvisation, a profound form of play vital to liberation and a beautiful life. Improvising is one of the top reasons I was able to save my life and liberate from abuse when I was 15-17. Surrender to the path. Learn surrender and improvising and you will discover gateways to healing, enlightenment and creation. Beautiful video with some of Jordan’s best laid out advice.
Every time I need to hear this it comes up through auto play, a reminder that it all has a purpose; I am continuing to circle who I could be! It feels like a fundamental truth, and it helps me with acceptance and learning what I have needed to. Part of that learning was the letting go of things that no longer have a place in nurturing or teaching me. Thank you 🙏
I needed that! Almost 50 and started taking piano lessons and the fact that it felt I was not improving cause of doing it so badly I almost quit. This lecture really puts things back in perspective. When you attempt something new you will overshoot and mess up badly in the beginning, but that is the way to mastery of anything in life. Willingness to look and feel like a fool attempting something new and worthwhile and realising that the failures and mistakes really are forms of improvement as you seek a worthy goal or ideal
He's amazing isn't he. I hope you are doing ok. Being a mum is hard. Doing it without help even moreso. Especially if you havnt got ur own stuff together.

What a great message and very much akin to the stories of Christmas and the dawn of the new year. I wish everyone well on their journey of rebirth as we move onwards into the new year!
Very good video. If you always wait for the ‘perfect’ moment, it will never get done. You really need to learn how to let go and just do it. Growth comes from progress, not perfection.
I've listened to this about 6 times today. There's so much that applies directly to what I'm going through, and I keep listening to unpack and hone in on the specifics. The fool precedes the savior, yes, and I'm also in Exodus, wandering around, sometimes worshipping the wrong things, as I try to figure out the devil I don't know, which seems to be me. And the idea of what interests you, and what he said in another speech, if you don't listen, you will pay for it like you cannot believe, and yes that is true. I'm paying, but not too heavily I suppose as I did listen, I just worked at it on the side, because you society says this, and it' is hard to ignore when you are young, so I tell my kids, listen to yourself, what grabs you, you go and do it. I love this speech.
What this guy is saying is more important than you think. There is a deeply embeded fear of failure that is holding back a lot of people nowadays. In reality, this fear of failure is because we perceive huge negative consequences in failure because of the way we were raised and the faulty values we learned in childhood. In reality, we have to let ourselves fail, like, really, nothing bad is gonna happen 99% of the time is this pursuit. Let yourself fail so you can move forward, become completely okay with it instead of living a life of pretenses. It is such a relief and eventually you will get what you want.
Think of this metaphor- "The kingdom of God is withing you." Think deeper than the religious connotation. Think of the true best whole self being revealed from deep within you. Think of the idea of needing to be "born again" coming from deep within you. (This is the stuff that seems to make sense to me.) Peterson is has a mind that gets it in on so many levels. Most of us are asleep and do not know it.
Try anything but never risk everything. Use your intellect to perceive the worst case scenario and your discernment to understand whether that would affect you long term or is merely a passing discomfort. There's always a risk to doing and not doing.
At 23 I was selling drugs and living a life of impulsivity, with no urge to live or any purpose... 25 now, sober and entrepreneur. Plans and goals to a transcendent value above me, refrained from instant pleasure, all while conquering the day each day. From hell, to livable... Change your mind change your life, best of luck to all.
That's what I want to hear! 'Doing things badly. Badly doing things'. I sung this song, and the neighbor heard. He sang back : 'Doing things'. It goes: doing things C, D. Badly F, Badly F, E doing things.
since I discovered that such a mind exists, I have deleted all my songs and replaced them with this man's talks. I can proudly say he is my favorite artist
Perhaps we were the ones that didn't allow ourselves to make mistakes. That could be because everyone want to show you how perfect they are in social media, but you can just stop watching it, it's harmful. It'll lead you to think that you're not normal and perfect as everyone is and we dont want that.
I am a perfectionist and obese my entire life. Perfectionist stop me from trying again i thought I needed to be perfect on my diet and exercise. When i realize being a perfectionist hindering me I tried again and now down 50lbs. Some days i dont eat perfect some days I only exercise 15 minutes but I keep going because I know no one is perfect. We can achieve our goals even when we fail many times. Thank you Jordan❤
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Dr. Peterson has one of the most important minds of the last 100 years. There may be smarter people, but certainly no smarter people actively using their intelligence to try and help people be their best selves. We don't need the newest cellphone, fastest car, or any of the things society tells us we need. We just need to understand ourselves. I've been a soldier for the last decade and I've lived my adult life with this phrase in mind: "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." I've spent years learning my strengths and weaknesses as they pertain to the battlefield and trying to mold myself into a more effective soldier. As I became a better soldier, I found my personal relationships in ruins because I never spent any time learning who I was as a man, only as a soldier. Things are still rough, but now I have hope.

I have a very short attention span and I’m easily distracted but when I hear Jordan Peterson speak.. I’m dead silent and not moving, my eyes are locked on the screen, I get a very serious facial expression, I listen carefully and ignore everything else. It’s incredible.
@Psychonaut Yes. His attention is selected by JP's words.
@Psychonaut Sure, but that's CHOOSING. He said he automatically REACTS when he hears JP speak.
meditate, no-fap, clean your room. Makes it easier to focus
@Psychonaut if you can not focus, maybe it just does not interests you at all. not everything ppl say its valuable is really valuable.
@Psychonaut Or maybe he has ADD or ADHD? He said he's easily distracted. We dont know his situation.
Sadly, I didn’t figure his out until I was in my mid 40’s. I wish I had a Jordan Peterson when I was a kid.
If you’re young right now, LISTEN TO THIS GUY.
He’s got a good heart, and he’s super smart. He’s saying what’s right, and you don’t hear that much these days, especially on RUclips or Twitter.
Thanks again Mr Peterson. I may make stupid decisions in life but I'm smart enough to hear you out. Cheers!
This is so... GENIUS. I cannot believe it. Especially the last part. I have watched a looot of JP clips including this one. But then you forget about them and then return here when you feel completely lost again and fall in old patterns. So the last few weeks I've been thinking about what I'm doing wrong and I ignore the JP clips in my feed, because "I already watched them so apparently they don't work". But then I click anyway and then I get my answer in those last couple of minutes; THE FACT THAT YOU'RE FULL OF FAULTS DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO STOP. AND IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T LEARN.!! I have to remember that in fact I'll most likely fail often and horribly in the beginning especially.
And thank you for the advice on the spiritual awakening. I had no idea what I was getting myself into! It’s like I had to kill off at least a hundred me’s that didn’t serve me. Today is a much better day. 😇 always choosing joy.
So from what I understand, trial and error is vital to become experienced, so it's necessary to grow.
This vid made me realize that i can never be "good" enough and that it actually a good thing. You can learn something perfect it, but you'll always have something to learn. You'll be always a babbling kid in some areas, you just gotta take action in it and improve on it and then start over and over again, still having something to learn. It chills me to bones and prevent me to overthink.
Very important information for 2020! Hope all had a blessed holiday
Indeed..
Peterson is reminding us of the old and forgotten "Man" path!
Just brought a lot of energy into my new year.
So, do badly every day and enjoy every minute of your journey towards achieving the unreachable goal of perfection.
The mantra of every (great) artist.
I'm so thankful this guy exists!
I can proudly say that, you are my Guru Dr. Jordan Peterson...long live my guru.
"The Fool is the Precursor to the savior." I'm simply lost for words... Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
Providence. Grace upon me. I needed this right now like a man dying of thirst needs water to live a minute longer and longer after that. This saved my life. Thank you!
Well damn this sure explains the trail of absolutely catastrophic decisions I have made in the last 37 years of my life.... but hey at least I have returned to University to finally finish my engineering degree as I promised myself to do long, long ago...
Jordan's voice is calming and yet aggressive
You make mistakes and it hurts you a bit. And pain is the greatest teacher.
I've watched this video once 3 weeks ago and I can't stop thinking about it
Learn to read music- I have attempted and failed many times... I'm only keeping myself from doing it because of fear of failure. In the back of my mind, I know I will succeed because there is the nagging thought that success is possible even though millions of failed attempts lie ahead. Thank you Jordan Peterson, we all thank you.
This is one of the best of Jordan B. Peterson.
I admire this speech
All the best 2020,may the best of this year be the worst of next year.
"Nothing is better than something pathological" Thank's dude, I'm the best I knew it !
Exactly what I needed before leaving this decade and entering 2020.
Knowing what you now know, do you still feel the same way?
I can’t begin to articulate how much JP has helped/improved my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
If you do this process he describes enough it becomes a skill in the greater picture. Ultimately it is the skill of improvisation, a profound form of play vital to liberation and a beautiful life. Improvising is one of the top reasons I was able to save my life and liberate from abuse when I was 15-17. Surrender to the path. Learn surrender and improvising and you will discover gateways to healing, enlightenment and creation. Beautiful video with some of Jordan’s best laid out advice.
Every time I need to hear this it comes up through auto play, a reminder that it all has a purpose; I am continuing to circle who I could be! It feels like a fundamental truth, and it helps me with acceptance and learning what I have needed to. Part of that learning was the letting go of things that no longer have a place in nurturing or teaching me. Thank you 🙏
True perfectionism is not what many say of being afraid of failure, it is being ready and willing to fail for the sake of achieving perfection.
I needed that! Almost 50 and started taking piano lessons and the fact that it felt I was not improving cause of doing it so badly I almost quit. This lecture really puts things back in perspective. When you attempt something new you will overshoot and mess up badly in the beginning, but that is the way to mastery of anything in life. Willingness to look and feel like a fool attempting something new and worthwhile and realising that the failures and mistakes really are forms of improvement as you seek a worthy goal or ideal
Thank you sir. You give so many people Hope. A true god send
I love listening to Jordan Peterson speak.
Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly…watch a child learning to walk :-).
Thank you! This was a really good example.
Thank you Dr. Peterson.
Jordan Peterson videos are the only videos i click the like button before the play button.
I really wish I had these videos 20 years ago, I'm still struggling at 40 with a lot of basic things.
Yep, you guessed it: Single mum.
He's amazing isn't he.
I hope you are doing ok. Being a mum is hard. Doing it without help even moreso. Especially if you havnt got ur own stuff together.
Keep at it. I wish you all the best in life. Raise your child to be great and independent and your life will never be unfulfilled
All the best!
I hope life has become better for you! You got this 🤙🏻
Hope you are well
10:10 that's why people stay with the devil they know rather than looking for the devil they don't know.
I have adhd and I try to learn to organize my day in a calendar. It went well for two days and today I screwed up big. This video was that I needed to watch to gain perspective
What a great message and very much akin to the stories of Christmas and the dawn of the new year. I wish everyone well on their journey of rebirth as we move onwards into the new year!
Implementation we imply to our lives and perception of truth.God bless Professor Jordan Peterson
Mr. Peterson is right on. Sort of goes with the saying I saw years ago. By anonymous. ‘ One who attempts the absurd Shall achieve the impossible’
Love seeing this a few days before 2020!
"Anything worth doing is worth OVERDOING."
- Mick Jagger
Very good video. If you always wait for the ‘perfect’ moment, it will never get done. You really need to learn how to let go and just do it. Growth comes from progress, not perfection.
I really like this man. How the MSM can paint him in a negative way I can't understand. Shame shame shame on those who malign good people for gain.
I agree. They don't like how perfectly he can articulate their wrongdoing.
One of the most positive comment section I've seen so farr!!❤
I've listened to this about 6 times today. There's so much that applies directly to what I'm going through, and I keep listening to unpack and hone in on the specifics. The fool precedes the savior, yes, and I'm also in Exodus, wandering around, sometimes worshipping the wrong things, as I try to figure out the devil I don't know, which seems to be me. And the idea of what interests you, and what he said in another speech, if you don't listen, you will pay for it like you cannot believe, and yes that is true. I'm paying, but not too heavily I suppose as I did listen, I just worked at it on the side, because you society says this, and it' is hard to ignore when you are young, so I tell my kids, listen to yourself, what grabs you, you go and do it. I love this speech.
This guy is an angel
What this guy is saying is more important than you think. There is a deeply embeded fear of failure that is holding back a lot of people nowadays. In reality, this fear of failure is because we perceive huge negative consequences in failure because of the way we were raised and the faulty values we learned in childhood. In reality, we have to let ourselves fail, like, really, nothing bad is gonna happen 99% of the time is this pursuit. Let yourself fail so you can move forward, become completely okay with it instead of living a life of pretenses. It is such a relief and eventually you will get what you want.
This man is my Hero.
Think of this metaphor- "The kingdom of God is withing you." Think deeper than the religious connotation. Think of the true best whole self being revealed from deep within you. Think of the idea of needing to be "born again" coming from deep within you. (This is the stuff that seems to make sense to me.) Peterson is has a mind that gets it in on so many levels. Most of us are asleep and do not know it.
This man is holding my head above the water
“These things we want a man to do for himself, even if he does them badly.” - G.K. Chesterton (Orthodoxy, 1908)
I really needed this.
Time to move out.
get into the desert.
get a job.
get structured again.
so i can see the promised land.
wish you well
What
The fear of appearing fooling is the most foolish thing to fear, by fearing it you're a greater fool and learn nothing
Try anything but never risk everything. Use your intellect to perceive the worst case scenario and your discernment to understand whether that would affect you long term or is merely a passing discomfort. There's always a risk to doing and not doing.
Your timing with this exact video and message is so on point! Thanks for this video and best wishes to you on the new decade!
The best and most practical motivational speech I've ever listened to.
Can you imagine anyone thumbing this down?
Love you Peterson....
I save these lectures and I will play them for my children to make them wiser than I could have ever been.
makes me feel better about traveling the country with no real plan in sight, but ironically the vision of what i want keeps getting clearer
At 23 I was selling drugs and living a life of impulsivity, with no urge to live or any purpose... 25 now, sober and entrepreneur. Plans and goals to a transcendent value above me, refrained from instant pleasure, all while conquering the day each day. From hell, to livable... Change your mind change your life, best of luck to all.
That's what I want to hear! 'Doing things badly. Badly doing things'. I sung this song, and the neighbor heard.
He sang back : 'Doing things'.
It goes: doing things C, D. Badly F,
Badly F, E doing things.
since I discovered that such a mind exists, I have deleted all my songs and replaced them with this man's talks. I can proudly say he is my favorite artist
You like Akira The Don then? (Look it up. JBP Wave)
The reason everybody is afraid is because we have built a world where you aren’t allowed to make a mistake
Perhaps we were the ones that didn't allow ourselves to make mistakes. That could be because everyone want to show you how perfect they are in social media, but you can just stop watching it, it's harmful. It'll lead you to think that you're not normal and perfect as everyone is and we dont want that.
This really came along at the right time ♥️ I wish good health and fortune to Dr. Peterson
Thanks so much Jordan Peterson you provide me with an ongoing demand that l turn my life out.
Blessings xxoo
"As soon as someone becomes a master in one thing, they should become a student in another."
This is extraordinarily profound.
I am a perfectionist and obese my entire life. Perfectionist stop me from trying again i thought I needed to be perfect on my diet and exercise. When i realize being a perfectionist hindering me I tried again and now down 50lbs. Some days i dont eat perfect some days I only exercise 15 minutes but I keep going because I know no one is perfect. We can achieve our goals even when we fail many times. Thank you Jordan❤
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Dr. Peterson has one of the most important minds of the last 100 years. There may be smarter people, but certainly no smarter people actively using their intelligence to try and help people be their best selves. We don't need the newest cellphone, fastest car, or any of the things society tells us we need. We just need to understand ourselves. I've been a soldier for the last decade and I've lived my adult life with this phrase in mind:
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."
I've spent years learning my strengths and weaknesses as they pertain to the battlefield and trying to mold myself into a more effective soldier. As I became a better soldier, I found my personal relationships in ruins because I never spent any time learning who I was as a man, only as a soldier. Things are still rough, but now I have hope.
we will all make it , keep working towards goals - strive for the best version of yourself every single day. We got this - and lets make 2020 the best one yet
Thank you for reminding me of the gift of the freedom to fail.
