Reminds me of that anonymous internet poem: "When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family.

My wife and I were the couple described in this video, on the brink of divorce, both with serious and valid complaints about the other person. We were buried in debt, had bad financial prospects, we were overweight and unhealthy, had infidelity and pornography issues, and we just weren’t seeing eye to eye. But somehow, we stayed together. Each of us took responsibility in our turns for our failings, rather than pointing the finger. I was extremely hurt but I knew that wallowing in sorrow, anger, or depression wasn’t the route to improving our situation. We climbed out of debt, trained for and got new careers, took my wife’s dream vacation, bought our first home, and are now hopeful adoptive parents. This only took a few years of taking responsibility. We looked the monster in the face and deciding to go after it head on. We gained self respect and competence. It’s the only way to fix your problems, everything else is delusion.

Jordan is wrong for this/his political paradigm processing projection. This shit is Apples and Oranges, politics and understanding the EGO are two different things. Video quote, "the proper way to fix the world isn't to fix the world", yet he can by telling you what to do or think. At the same time projecting a political statement - paradigm processing. A degree does not make him right. Change does start from within, however, it is about becoming the watcher of your ego and its effect on time, i.e., psychological time (past and future). For example, he did this video to project his ego, his political opinion. He talked about his degree twice to prove he knew what he was talking about. Finally, the video starts political and changes to a personal and psychological attack on you.

It's not just Turkey day. It's a day to count our blessings, give thanks to the Lord, and be grateful for what we have.

Our first thanksgiving as a nation was called for by George Washington to lift our spirits from the hardships we faced in the Revolution and to appreciate what we fought for. It was officially declared a national holiday during the Civil war by Lincoln to remind us of the good things in our lives even in the middle of a bloody war of brothers. Taking time to count our blessings no matter how bad things get is as American as working to achieve our dreams. They just don't remember their history and what being an American means.

But going on whining about the "big guy" screwing you over gets you nowhere. If someone came in the next day and shut that company down, it would have done me no good. I still wouldn't have had a job. What got me back up and going again? Doing something about it myself. I didn't demand retribution, I thought outside the box, learned a new skill, and now have a job I love working for a small business as a manager. An opportunity the "big guys" never gave me. But it didn't happen through them being torn down, it happened through me building myself up. Hence why I could never be a leftist.

People who aren't looking for work aren't relevant because they aren't trying to better themselves or might be stay at home parents or the like. It has nothing to do with a lack of jobs. The data shows that there are enough to commodate those not working. They just don't want to. No one is responsible for you but yourself. Stop watching CNN.

Best is Rule 5 "Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them" And ofc Rules 8-9 "Tell the truth - or, at least, don’t lie" "Assume that the person you are listening to might know something you don’t"

What Prof. Peterson is saying reminds me a lot of an article my grandfather wrote about the workings of conscience and how to develop it. According to him, conscience is an amazingly powerful thing. It can help us avoid danger and bring us great success. But we can't get it's benefits without also accepting its sometimes harsh criticisms on our lives. Thus many people, from an early age even, figure out how to suppress conscience until they can no longer hear its voice. The only antidote is exactly what Prof. Peterson prescribes: *stop doing the things you know to be wrong.* Do the things you know you should be doing. In doing so, conscience will grow and you'll be all the better for it

Agreed, but it's difficult because Warren's message is so much more appealing to the masses. She's giving an 'out', a convenient scapegoat to rally around as opposed to taking personal responsibility. She's not completely without point, cronie capitalism must be stopped, but it's not the fault of corporations if you're unhappy with your life.

It has taken me many years of soul searching, getting to know who I am and in the process I have come to like and love myself. When my environment becomes uncomfortable, I go to work in making changes that work for me and not for others. I am very comfortable with who I am and no longer strive to be what others want me to be. It is an ongoing work in progress but now I can freely laugh at myself and forgive my past mistakes and look forward to my future.

Jordan is a brilliant man, a godsend to those of us who want a better life and to be happy.

This is an old, but pertinent, preaching illustration: There was a man in his study working on a project for work and his young son came him seeking help with a complex puzzle of the world. When the boy asked for the third time, his daddy told him to go away and that he would help him when he finished work. When he finished, he went to his son’s room, found him getting ready for bed and the puzzle completed on the floor. The father said, “see you didn’t need any help.” The boy said, “well, the puzzle had two sides. On this side was a picture of the world, but on the other side was a picture of a man. I knew that if I put together the man then I could fix the world.”

Who the hell is "disliking" this video? It's great advice and common sense, really.

Dr. Peterson, you have the answer I've been seeking all along.... Responsibility! It's my favorite word, and it all begins with the individual and not the world. People who blame everyone and everything else for their problems play the victim. This attitude leads to "poor me" because it is then that you honestly believe that if it's "not your fault" then you don't have to act for personal growth and change. I have witnessed this attitude in people who engage in identity politics where they blame their misfortunes on some person or entity other than themselves. The left throws the fat on the fire by claiming that conservatives just "hate" you for being different. It took me twenty-five years of my adult life to get myself off the pity pot and recognize my God given potential. Now, "poor me" is replaced with "potential me." Thank you Prager University for waking me up😊🇺🇲

@juro jurić it's not about race or nationality; I think you're totally missing my point. Im referring to standards, higher attainments, better scores... Thus, it would seem to me, that the over-all, general mass population doesn't try, and they have not only widened the goal posts, shortened the yard line, they've also lowered the standards. How could and why would a higher achieving Olympian like myself who cleans his room wish or want to even be subjected to a lower , sub-standard? But what's worse, is, that some who have strived for self-improvement are now lambasted and discriminated against - merely for cleaning a room. (My room was already clean 40 years ago). I already ticked that off the box. I realize that, long as my door step is clean, no worries.. sure, ok, fine... but imagine that the majority fo the people who don't clean their door step, and collectively, they are part of this sub-par, herd pack mentality that bullies and prevents others from achieving even HIGHER goals!? So, I'm supposed to converse with you, a person who doesn't speak as good of English as me. Are we supposed to be equal? Ought someone who has gone to great lengths not be rewarded? And rewarded MORE? (as in meritocracy?). See, we now live in a world of "equal outcomes" and cripples can joint the NBA, girls can join the boy scouts, transgenders can be on the cover of Playboy, and omg.. it just makes me wanna kill myself. LOL the world has moral AIDS. The people in the world just aren't good enough anymore. Its like a regression analysis or something. Accepting that this is the truth, THEN WHAT? Nothing has any value anymore. When does one give up their moral compass to "join 'em"? Why even bother trying hard, or fixing yourself, when others are hell bent on maintaining the status quo of brokenness? Does this make sense?

When we focus primarily on changing our own selves, we are empowered with an amazing sense of self-efficacy. And when we get a taste of how much we can actually change and grow through determination and self-discipline, we get an additional appreciation of what we can accomplish in our life and contribute to the betterment of others. This energizes us! 😀 On the other hand, when we primarily blame others, we develop feelings of resentment, dependance and helplessness... which depletes us. 😣
