Jordan Peterson was my professor and I remember him giving us these kind of talks all the time. He was the only professor any of us actually looked forward to attending class for. I'm glad the world discovered him too
Oh man, how I wish we had RUclips back then when I was 22 years old. It's the really the internet that made all the difference plus your desire and hunger. Good for you! ☺️
Indeed it's a blessing to have discover him despite whatever age you are. If you found this in a miserable place ,this is the time to start cleaning your room.
I'm 21 and I feel so blessed and lucky to be alive, Jordan Peterson is just a God among men sent to give us clarity on challenges we face, God bless him ♥
@Psychonaut I'm 43, so there is that... but I'm sure you have much more! I can tell by the way you desire to embitter and destroy everything around you... but it won't work on me. I actually pity you, and I do have enough life experience to know you are extremely unhappy. Great username by the way! ✌
@Psychonaut really don't care what it means. And to be truthful, I am defensive when I see people trying to make this world a lesser place by their daily actions. I wish you all the best though, I truly do... and hopefully one day you'll see the light. Try taking on some true noble PERSONAL responsibility and you will be much more fulfilled in life! The great thing about this man is HE IS FLAWED, and doesn't dispute it. He is a true prophet and what he learns from going through this crisis he brought on himself will make him so much more wise to explain the meaning of life to us. I can see you don't like the message because it puts all the responsibility for life on you and me, but until you embrace that truth, you will never be truly fulfilled. God bless!✌
This put me in tears. When you realize that you’re the one that is capable of ending your own suffering you become free! People are so hard on themselves, especially in comparison to others. I’ve realized over time that none of that matters, and JP is spot on when he says that all you have to be better than was the person you were yesterday. The moment you realize that is the moment you’re truly free ❤️
This man has made me into a lean learning machine. Prior to listening to him, I understood the benefits of reading, running, studying and so on. However, this man made me appreciate every single moment. I was always in such a rush, now I’m in the moment flowing through time. Thank you Dr Peterson!
I have been in deep depression for over two years, at times suicidal, I started listening to JP & mate, he has helped me so much, the most helpful guy on the internet, thankyou JP & I thank God that he gave you to the World. Always praying for bro. ☝🏾✊🏿
This man saved my life. I was in and out of incarceration, a deadbeat father and a heroin addict. Now I’m a single father, clean and sober over 2 years and becoming a better man everyday and it all started with stumbling across this man on RUclips. Thank you kindly sir, you are in my prayers Jordan
I AM You 1st step to recovery - admit you have a problem. Next is to seek out support. Nearly impossible to do by yourself. I grew up in a family of addiction.
"the right question is: "could you be a slightly better tomorrow than your currently flawed self?" and the answer to that is: "if you have enough humility to set the bar properly low.""
This has got me hyped at 6am. I’m flipping a house right now and it’s a ton of fucking work and I need to confront this problem head on and it doesn’t matter if it takes another month or two, I’ve got to suck it up, get it done so I can feel accomplished and do it again. I’m learning something every day and trying to get better every day
The key to psychological strength lays in the way a person encounters the world. Many people think that objective numerical figures determine everything. However this is actually not the case. Those who gain confidence only when they are fully embellished externally or when things work out smoothly, tend to be vulnerable more than anybody else. Because there are so many conditions that have to be met for bringing themselves out into the world, that are encountered with numerous obstacles in that process. On the contrary, if you have the ability to open up yourself to the world with ease, that indicates that you have mental power. Such individuals with inner confidence may not stand out at first glance, yet people tend to be drawn to those individuals and are persuaded by them. Even in moments of failure or uncertainty, they do not sway and are rather immersed with what they can do. Most of those who conceal themselves with external factors- whether it be looks or wealth - tend to break down in these situations. Those who had approached these “flashy” people realize their true faces and start distancing themselves.
There are certain things in life that are more worthy, more valuable than anything else, knowing how to help someone, supporting someone in times of need, how to be a friend, a warrior, a good human being, knowing what to do in certain situations, knowing how to do things that will make things better for yourself and others, and it all starts with you being completely honest. Truth is embedded in your heart, it is the reason why you do the things you do and the heart never lies in anything you do because you are always doing what you feel is good in your heart. Everything is connected in the world. From the way we live, the way we speak, the things we decide to do, our health, our strength, our perception, how we treat others, how much time we take to make real changes and how much time we make to better ourselves.
To anyone reading this, you're bigger than your obstacles keep pushing towards success God has believe in you... You Are A Champion!!! Do whatever it takes, to chase your dream! You can do it
One of the toughest things is trying to follow this mindset but being dragged down by people around you who are intent on criticizing you for adopting this mindset. They attack your character, your seriousness, everything you’re doing...while they live mediocre lives and avoid responsibility. It’s hard to keep going when all these people around you are trying to discourage you.
This video is a cornerstone of my life. It is the beginning of my journey of philosophy and psychology. Thank you jordan, although I have moved on from your ideas I still appreciate the message you put out there, you get people to start thinking. “You repay the teacher poorly if you always remain a student”
I was in a dark dark place for several years and could not figure my way out. I had a lot working against me but was able to start turning it around. JP definitely played a part in that. I’m maybe 10% out of the hole but I feel like a billion dollars compared to how I felt at my worst. I am absolutely dedicated to a steady path of self-improvement, both mentally and physically and it feels great to know that I’m doing everything I can do to perpetuate it. I used to aim way too high and compare myself to others so the sentiment of this video bears much significance in my journey. Good luck to anyone reading this who may be where I was a year ago.
This is Rule 4: Compare Yourself to Who You Were Yesterday, Not to Someone Else Out of all the Rules in his book, this for me is the most relatable and the one I listen to the most.
This video is so GOOD....when I go to work, or throughout the day...I replay this video over & over....being better than yourself the day before....transcending yourself...
@@Dany-gf9zu I'm doing badly: I failed the last year of HS, and I've been living with my father. I had no motivation to do anything, and my daily routine became one of constantly indulging my pleasures. recently, he was going to kick me out if I didn't go back and earn my HS credits to graduate, so 4d ago, I stripped my routine down to the bare essentials so I can study w/ the rest of my time. but even now,, my mind gets distracted by so many thoughts, ideas, & topics that I'm barely making progress studying... I'm just such a broken, dysfunctional person, and I feel like I'm too incompetent to even fix myself when I do have the motivation; it shouldn't be hard, but my incompetence makes it feel impossible...
@@zoklev Hey, thanks for the answer. I'm sorry to hear that. You're not incompetent, you just need to change your focus again. I highly recommend Dr Jordan Peterson, he truly changed my life. I wish you all the best in life. May you follow your dreams and gain the necessary motivation again! :) Cheers
@@Dany-gf9zu I think the problem is that there aren't enough hours in the day; if I had 48h a day, I'd prob be fine. I can do things, just my mind gets distracted so much that it takes too long to do them. what do you think I should change my focus to? I've listened to a lot of Jordan Peterson's teachings, and he's helped me get the right attitude towards life; unfortunately, I haven't successfully implemented&converted into a productive lifestyle good wishes to you too
I've been listening to JP since 2017, and i think this is one of the best clips ive come across, it really hit me. Thank you for putting this together. I hope that one day I can be the Hero that I know is within me
Mr.Peterson....I can't go thru a day..an hour..without listening to your lectures.You help me. I'm broken..lost..& never have I been so empty..I want to disappear..I'm finished with this feeling. Cindy........Boston Strong
the minute you start looking at yourself honestly and make an honest, faithful attempt to rectify your wretchedness -- whether that be procrastination, speaking while angry, or whatever it is -- you IMMEDIATELY begin to feel better. The difficult part is in sticking with it. Remember those flashes of hope where you were able to do something about your dark, anxious, addicted, stupid sinfulness and formed it into light. Those moments will keep you going to the next moments. String enough of those together and in a few years you'll look back and realize that you really, truly don't want to kill yourself. That's what's happened to me. I still have a lot of work to do, so it's still happening to me, but I truly feel like I will not kill myself. Not if I have anything to say about it, which I now believe that I do.
Amen bruv. I’m aware of my faults, I do avoid things and have an incredible amount of work to do but I have managed to provide and protect my kid. Everyday is a challenge but I do feel good overall for the most part. I have negative thoughts far too often but it’s less and less. I feel that I still got fight left.
My life is in plain shambles right now. Going through what could be called a "Quarter life crisis". Just turned 32, suddenly faced an existential crisis, left my now ex-fiancée (whom I care deeply about and hope she'll be OK) after 11 years together because I faced a massive wall all of a sudden. Some things were related to her and us, but most are personal things that surged and I couldn't deal with all of it. So I left. And now I'm utterly lost. Left our apartment, left her, left the city I was living in with her for more than 5 years (in another country, her country), back at my parents', back in my old bedroom, back in my country, for now. I'm an empty shell of a man. I have friends and family here, loving parents, but I've never felt so alone, the world has never appeared so big, my path has never been so blurry and uncertain, and I've never felt so lost and unsignificant. "12 rules for life" helps me. Or at least it has the potential to do so. I'm battling too many things. I know I'm in no position to claim the victimhood in the break-up, as I instigated it, but I'm utterly heartbroken, as she was and is a great person, a great partner. Not without flaws (who hasn't flaws?), some that had their slow burning effects on me, but still a great person. But I can't come back to her. Not after how I left her. I might need years before I forgive myself. For now I can't. I'm not the man she knew anymore, I'm not the man I thought I was, and I'm not the man I wish I could be. I don't recognize myself. I tried to be what I thought she wanted me to be, and I forgot myself in the process, for years. I don't know where to go, what to do. I don't know how to start over. I want to leave, explore, find myself. But I need my driving licence first, I need money as well. I'm "just" an illustrator, I don't have a high-paying skill. I feel stuck, lost and alone. But this book, it soothes, it's a caress to the soul. It's not sugarcoating things, it's honest, and necessary. I need to finish it, then read it again, and again. I need to embrace these rules, and find myself through them. I hope I will. Life is suffering, I need to find my meaning into all of it. Sorry for the rant and the awkward honesty, but thank you Dr.Peterson.
@@CuntLucifer Well, since you never knew my Grandfather, you have no foundation to say what he did, and did not teach me. As far as the amount of *likes* I receive, I could care less about that.
Thank you, Dr. Peterson. You are a gift to humanity. I am an RN and have worked in unbelievable cases with victims and survivors. A few years back I began to see a pattern in some individuals and I “coined” my own version of how responsibility plays a role in survival. I would tell clients to “own it” ! Take responsibility! Thank you, again, for clarifying it’s importance. It helps me in my profession and my personal life. Another, among many, important point of clarification is that life is hard - ya, Wow. How many people don’t understand that ? Wow, again, some people think that only a perfect life is ok. Good luck with that, right? Again, and, Again thank you and God Bless you. L.
Dios mio ya tienes 369,000 seguidores. Me da tanto gusto que compartas estos videos con tantas personas. Me da gusto que crecieras tanto. Te sigo desde hace 5 años. Gracias por tanto.
Thank you Jordan. You helped me to get my life back on right track. You helped me to touch, for a moment, limits of my inner being. You showed me dim of light in my darkest period. I am little lost at the moment but I have experience and your lectures at my disposal. Sometimes all things I have at the moment seemed so far away. But they are not anymore. I worked for them and put into practice many lessons I heard from you. They arent perfect but neither am I. I know I need tk show adequate gratitude toward them. I know that I am not everything I can and want to be at the moment, but I want to change that. Just like I already did - step by step, thing by thing, day by day. Thanks Jordan again, and thank you God for bringing this beautifull human being in my life.
He is so awesome I think he is saving my life I get angry because I hate the truth at times, but yet I love it as well the truth is the truth there is nothing wrong with the truth God is the truth I love God
He's one of the most articulate men of the modern era. I could listen to him for hours on end. It would be an honor to have had him as a professor, and I hope to meet him some day!
Jordan Peterson is really like an aiming up for me, thank you so much for being part of my pursuit in the meaning of life, i really love and appreciate you Sir, you remain in my prayers
If you are searching for that one person that will change your life, take a look at the mirror. If you are looking for that person you should be better than today, that was the person you saw in the mirror yesterday. If you could kick that person in the back, who is responsible for most of your problems & troubles, YOU will not sit down for a month 🖖
To the Person who made this video: Thank you so much. You made this so perfectly, from the clips you took to the music, and the way you cut the music so it really underlines the words being said. This is my favourite motivational video on this entire platform. The only one that has been stuck in my head for multiple months. Thank you! Keep up the great work!
Indeed. I am 66 years old. In many ways, beaten down. The dreams I had wanted so much to achieve in our school where I am a teacher have been destroyed, literally, by others in the workplace. This isn't hyperbolic; it's merely description. What Dr. Peterson is teaching me here is that the harshness and malevolence of life is the norm; how can I lift myself up and transcend these circumstances? My circumstances aren't even unusual. I struggle with the bitterness and the rancor, though. The lesson is that gentle forbearance, on a foundation of focused strength, based in family and faith, is sufficient. I wish I could thank this man in person for his unceasing devotion to healing the pain of humanity.
as a grown ass 29 year old that also has a 7 year old son and here and there deals with anxiety also i ask my self 21 questions in my mind all the time.. this mans wisdom words brought my eyes to get watery and the need to cry over so much stress that i been putting off to the side asking my self things and the meaning and true purpose of life.. don't know why but his words opened up my eyes to see life slightly different and want and need to change my life around.
We are truly blessed in this such a long/short life time, I know we we’re built for something so much bigger than anything going on or created by humanity. We all are incredible creatures with the possibilities to change another’s way of seeing or being, but there’s always possibilities of evil so spread love and positivity
Loving the content, man. Don't stop doing what you're doing. I would like to talk to you about translate your videos to PT-BR. I'm sure a lot of people here will love your content. 🇧🇷
Cannot wait to see him live in Detroit. His videos help a Father less person understand himself better. Can't imagine walking out not changed for the better
The best thing ever that is good for me is I practice my hobby every day or when I feel that I have to do so. Doing things that you love every day helps in activating your brain and to feel comfortable.
Transcended for 3 days solid and lost it. i have been writing reading and watching videos in all my spare time trying to recover it. I had no pride or negative emotion, music and art completely changed. My political view changed I enjoyed all people, I loved the exchange of conversation even if it was negative. We can reach this ultimate contentment.
Jordan Peterson was my professor and I remember him giving us these kind of talks all the time. He was the only professor any of us actually looked forward to attending class for. I'm glad the world discovered him too
How old are you now?
That’s awesome. I can only imagine how many people wanted to go to the lectures that you heard.
I really want to pay him a visit and thank him for what he is doing.
This is awesome that he is your professor for me it is dream to listen this person's in real life
You were truly blessed... This man has changed my life and finally I have discovered a purpose that is self improving, as well as being the change.
It’s truly a gift being 22 years old, and discover a person like Jordan Peterson. Greetings from Copenhagen Denmark 🇩🇰❤️
and here I am, bitter abt living the first 15 years of my life blind
Oh man, how I wish we had RUclips back then when I was 22 years old. It's the really the internet that made all the difference plus your desire and hunger. Good for you! ☺️

I'm not the man she knew anymore, I'm not the man I thought I was, and I'm not the man I wish I could be. I don't recognize myself. I tried to be what I thought she wanted me to be, and I forgot myself in the process, for years.
I don't know where to go, what to do. I don't know how to start over.
I want to leave, explore, find myself. But I need my driving licence first, I need money as well. I'm "just" an illustrator, I don't have a high-paying skill. I feel stuck, lost and alone.
But this book, it soothes, it's a caress to the soul. It's not sugarcoating things, it's honest, and necessary.
I need to finish it, then read it again, and again. I need to embrace these rules, and find myself through them. I hope I will.
Life is suffering, I need to find my meaning into all of it.
Sorry for the rant and the awkward honesty, but thank you Dr.Peterson.
you got it brother, wishing you luck
Big prayers for you bro. It's tough man. I hope you get better soon
For some reason, all that has happened is in your favor ❤
The fact that this entire speech is from 1 talk sais a lot about how good of a speaker jp really is
Peterson does nothing but drop truth and wisdom bombs! This generation needs this wisdom!
Jordan still and always will be underrated. People do not know the weight that his words carry.
My grandfather taught me, the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement.
Amen to him telling you that 💯🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Haha, what a bunch of complete and utter bullshit. And a bit cringe too, to be honest.
Lucifer has more room for improvement than most people in this whole comment section.
@@CuntLucifer Well, since you never knew my Grandfather, you have no foundation to say what he did, and did not teach me.
As far as the amount of *likes* I receive, I could care less about that.
Some don’t appreciate Jordan Peterson, if this is the case then move on, it’s simple….
Thank you, Dr. Peterson. You are a gift to humanity. I am an RN and have worked in unbelievable cases with victims and survivors. A few years back I began to see a pattern in some individuals and I “coined” my own version of how responsibility plays a role in survival. I would tell clients to “own it” !
Take responsibility!
Thank you, again, for clarifying it’s importance. It helps me in my profession and my personal life. Another, among many, important point of clarification is that life is hard - ya, Wow. How many people don’t understand that ? Wow, again, some people think that only a perfect life is ok. Good luck with that, right?
Again, and, Again thank you and God Bless you. L.
Wow, this is really beautiful and very helpful ❤️. I've never heard the truth being told so softly and yet so powerfully.
Dios mio ya tienes 369,000 seguidores. Me da tanto gusto que compartas estos videos con tantas personas. Me da gusto que crecieras tanto. Te sigo desde hace 5 años. Gracias por tanto.
Man this guy just hits home with every word he utters. He really makes me want to become better then who I was yesterday. Love from Australia
Thank you Jordan. You helped me to get my life back on right track. You helped me to touch, for a moment, limits of my inner being. You showed me dim of light in my darkest period. I am little lost at the moment but I have experience and your lectures at my disposal. Sometimes all things I have at the moment seemed so far away. But they are not anymore. I worked for them and put into practice many lessons I heard from you. They arent perfect but neither am I. I know I need tk show adequate gratitude toward them. I know that I am not everything I can and want to be at the moment, but I want to change that. Just like I already did - step by step, thing by thing, day by day. Thanks Jordan again, and thank you God for bringing this beautifull human being in my life.
Jordan Peterson is a genius that was put on this earth for a reason . Thankful to be living in a time where his words are in our present days
He is so awesome I think he is saving my life I get angry because I hate the truth at times, but yet I love it as well the truth is the truth there is nothing wrong with the truth God is the truth I love God
Thank you Jordan! You saved my life. With your guidance, I am able to overcome my personal chaos. Things are better now.
Love this man ,, what a great mind and great human ! May his life be fulfil and full of love
He's one of the most articulate men of the modern era. I could listen to him for hours on end. It would be an honor to have had him as a professor, and I hope to meet him some day!
I needed this. I Definitely Needed This. Thank you, Mr. Peterson
Jordan Peterson is really like an aiming up for me, thank you so much for being part of my pursuit in the meaning of life, i really love and appreciate you Sir, you remain in my prayers
This is my favorite video, the music and message always remind me of the path I’m on and transcending myself.
Want to achieve success, then learn to work beyond boundaries.
worth to listen again and again till his words planted in your mind....Thank you Mr.Perterson!
"Transcend your current wretched & miserable self " I love this man
I'm so inspires every time i watched motivational videos, I learnt a lot and motivate myself to be better individual.
The best summary of all motivational speeches ever💪
True modern philosopher.
Thanks, Professor🙏
I desperately needed to hear this in my 20s when I was comparing myself to all my more “successful” friends and feeling like I was falling behind.
💯 ON POINT as always I'm discovering! 🙌JP is a REAL gift to humanity! ❤🙏
“Man transcends himself only via his true nature, not through ambition and artificial goals.” - Fritz Perls
Mr Peterson, you are unbelievable hero of this century
If you are searching for that one person that will change your life, take a look at the mirror. If you are looking for that person you should be better than today, that was the person you saw in the mirror yesterday. If you could kick that person in the back, who is responsible for most of your problems & troubles, YOU will not sit down for a month 🖖
Keep improving yourself everyday.
To the Person who made this video: Thank you so much. You made this so perfectly, from the clips you took to the music, and the way you cut the music so it really underlines the words being said. This is my favourite motivational video on this entire platform. The only one that has been stuck in my head for multiple months. Thank you! Keep up the great work!
Indeed. I am 66 years old. In many ways, beaten down. The dreams I had wanted so much to achieve in our school where I am a teacher have been destroyed, literally, by others in the workplace. This isn't hyperbolic; it's merely description. What Dr. Peterson is teaching me here is that the harshness and malevolence of life is the norm; how can I lift myself up and transcend these circumstances? My circumstances aren't even unusual. I struggle with the bitterness and the rancor, though. The lesson is that gentle forbearance, on a foundation of focused strength, based in family and faith, is sufficient. I wish I could thank this man in person for his unceasing devotion to healing the pain of humanity.
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
I will see Jordan Peterson April 23, 2022. San Diego, California!
So much love to u Jordan you are an incredible man that this world needs to hear your simply a great thinker a man to look up to.
Best 9 mins ever...
Thanks Josurf! Glad to hear that. It was a pretty inspiring message and that's why I wanted to share it.
@@ChispaMotivation thanks for sharing...
This man truly is amazing after I discovered him on RUclips. He helped me get a better view on life and how to change myself.
Absolutely Beautiful ...Jordan Peterson Bravo
as a grown ass 29 year old that also has a 7 year old son and here and there deals with anxiety also i ask my self 21 questions in my mind all the time.. this mans wisdom words brought my eyes to get watery and the need to cry over so much stress that i been putting off to the side asking my self things and the meaning and true purpose of life.. don't know why but his words opened up my eyes to see life slightly different and want and need to change my life around.
We are truly blessed in this such a long/short life time, I know we we’re built for something so much bigger than anything going on or created by humanity. We all are incredible creatures with the possibilities to change another’s way of seeing or being, but there’s always possibilities of evil so spread love and positivity
Magnificent Dr. Peterson. Thank you.
I think everyone should be obligated to see this at least once, so life changing!
still listening, once a day
This is incredible information! I'm speechless
legendary optimistic life attitude, much appreciated

*"A man that society needs right now but not a man this society deserves"*
...that Is beautiful 🙏🏻❤️🌹God bless Jordan Peterson 🙏🏻
Cannot wait to see him live in Detroit. His videos help a Father less person understand himself better. Can't imagine walking out not changed for the better
This man is a living legend
The best thing ever that is good for me is I practice my hobby every day or when I feel that I have to do so. Doing things that you love every day helps in activating your brain and to feel comfortable.
“You aren't your problems, you're most fundamentally that which if it confronts it's problems can solve them.”
He is so wonderful to listen to and actually makes you think and want to act and change and improve 🤩
I’ll show the mourning sun , and you’ll see shine
Do something worthwhile ❤❤.... So true... My path next months.... Meaning is in responsibility...
Do it today
Or regret it tomorrow
Take action now
For a bright future of tomorrow ❤❤
Transcended for 3 days solid and lost it. i have been writing reading and watching videos in all my spare time trying to recover it. I had no pride or negative emotion, music and art completely changed. My political view changed I enjoyed all people, I loved the exchange of conversation even if it was negative. We can reach this ultimate contentment.
