2024-03-24 21:35:25 Why would you not want to make the most out of every possible moment?

There's no difference between making the most out of every possible moment and aiming up with as much vision, love, hope, and faith as you possibly can.

And if you look up towards the highest possible heights, every step you take will have the firmest of all possible foundations underneath it.

If you did that, you would set the world right. Open / Comment

2024-03-15 22:24:03 The fool is the precursor to the savior.

That's one of the things I learned from Jung. It's so amazing that that might be the case.

Why? Because you are a fool when you start something new. If you are not willing to be a fool, then you'll never start anything new, and you will not develop.

The willingness to be a fool is the precursor to transformation—that is the same as humility.

If you are going to write your destiny, you can do a bad first job. Because you're going to get smarter as you move forward. Open / Comment

2024-03-02 20:44:11 What if you did nothing but aim high and look within yourself for everything that stopped you from moving forward?

What if you did that full-heartedly, unreservedly, and made that the leitmotif of your life? What would you be like in a year, in five years, or ten or twenty years?

Would you be headed for sainthood itself? Is that not something that is a possibility that resides within you? What if that was the pattern of your existence: nothing but the constant turn for the better.

Then you might also ask yourself, "Would there be any difference between living a life composed of nothing but constant turns for the better and existence in the Kingdom of Heaven itself? A place where everything is good and still getting better."

That's the central, core message of the first four sentences of the biblical corpus.

This is an idea discussed on my tour that continues tomorrow night at 7:30pm in Columbus, Ohio. Get your tickets and view upcoming shows here: jordanbpeterson.com/events/ Open / Comment

2024-02-29 19:58:06 Don't underestimate the hole your absence would leave.

Each of us, we're remarkable creatures. And we have something to offer to the world—to the people we love and to the world at large.

It's our responsibility to make that manifest. And we move a little farther away from paradise every time that doesn't happen—really. Open / Comment

2024-02-27 22:32:16 Do you want to be illiterate? Do you want to be inarticulate?

You're going to have to negotiate. You're going to have to lead. You're going to have to convince. You have to be able to think. And you have to be highly literate to do that.

Jocko Willink—he's a good example. That guy's like 3 feet thick, and he's as tough as a bloody boot. He's up at four in the morning every day. He's one literate person.

The great men I've met, they're unbelievably literate. They are compelling when they talk. People listen because they know what they're talking about. And they speak with authority. Open / Comment

2024-02-23 23:31:51 You are not obligated to associate with people who are making your life worse.

It’s okay to surround yourself with people who are helping you be better and to shy away from people who are willing to drag you down.

You’re not obligated to associate with people who are trying to damage the structure of your being.

Move away from people like that. Open / Comment

2024-02-20 22:54:13 A truly responsible people will take it upon themselves to become their own leaders, and protect themselves in that manner from the despair and hopeless nihilism of the desert chaos and from slavish subservience to those who will wield power for their own purposes.

An educated, responsible citizenry dispenses with slavish habits, adopts the mindset of true maturity, looks to the best of the past to guide the future, and forges its own fate.

It is a paradoxical truth, as well, that the voluntary shouldering of precisely the responsibility of self-governance lends to life the meaning that keeps hope alive and despair at bay, even during times of trouble, when simple happiness is far out of reach. Open / Comment

2024-02-17 00:17:49 Is Betrayal Reconcilable?

My observation is that if there is a relationship and one party is betrayed by the other (falling in love with another person), it’s almost always irreconcilable.

I’ve helped people try and struggle through that on both sides of the issue—the person who was betrayed and the person who did the betrayal.

I’ve seen people grow up and not do it again. This was in situations where their partner didn’t know. In a couple of those situations, it seemed that it might even be described as a necessary experience for the person who did it—it helped them develop.

I am NOT justifying that behavior. But life is complicated.

However, I think society works better, all things considered, when you make a promise, and you stick to it. Open / Comment
