“Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.”

— John Wayne

[TheCheweeRevolutions]

First day starting a law degree today. This time last year I was waiting tables. Don't think I'd be here if it wasn't for JP

[Razear]

Can confirm. I was scared to death of public speaking but after exposing myself to a few public speaking situations I gradually became less anxious about it each time. The fear never truly left, but I certainly felt more capable.

"Observing courage in yourself is definitely one of the things that can help you sleep soundly at night when things are destabilized around you." - He nailed it at the end there, and we can probably safely add that things around us are destabilized pretty much the whole time, so off we go trying to pull that courage out from somewhere within ourselves.

“Bran thought about it. 'Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?'
'That is the only time a man can be brave, ' his father told him.”
-Bran Stark talking to Ned Stark
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

I am at such a confused point in my life right now and this was absolutely what I needed.

Basically you just have to face your fears people. Were all in it together.

[BitesizedPhilosophy]

I don't know if you have noticed it too, but Dr. Peterson's delivery and the tempo of his speech
varies a lot. It is really hard to put into words why I never get
bored of the material, but aside from content and the archetypal nature of the lectures,
most of them have this great energy that makes listening to them as entertaining as music.
I think it's safe to say that this lecture was one of his better performances (Biblical Lecture 11).

Adding JP to my list of people to thank for my recovery and sobriety.
Thank you 🙏🏿

[aaroncoley]

it’s amazing how he uses such complex words and thoughts yet i still understand perfectly whet he’s saying

[thomasc]

This dude knows exactly what he's talking about

[Fuamits]

I’ve failed and ran from a lot of opportunities in the past. This guy just opened me a massive door of perspective with what he just said.
Shit that’s what’s up!

Having Dr. Peterson as a prof has been life-changing. He rose to fame in a time in which the modern world needs people like him the most. I recently wrote a spoken word on my channel with a lot of his teachings and philosophies. I think we need to spread his message as much as we can in order to redirect our collective mindset. Thank you for all you do Dr. Peterson.

I've listened to this clip at least 10 times now. Some specific points are like cracking myself open.

[theodore]

This should be in schools, not the talk itself but the action.
All the things in school, up to college, are forced on you, there is no choice.
There is no adventure in school, this is why it makes so many people so depressed.

Professor Peterson speaks gold whenever he speaks! I really needed this today. I am at such a point in my life where I have so many ambiguities in front of me. And the uncertainty of the future is what is making me so stressed. I know that all these uncertainties will be resolved eventually. But still, I feel so sad and stressed. That's it! I am gonna face the fear of uncertainty uofront. Most of the times, the uncertainties that I have previously faced have unfolded into something beautiful. And I am hopeful it will be beautiful in the coming future too!

[urbanwarchief]

I regret dumbing myself down. Now I must relearn so much but I guess it's a new opportunity as well to do it different and give up that good kush

[doubtalot]

to all those who are aware enough to be afraid, cheers, we can do this.

[Cheapers-Vac]

Can you see ? Can you begin to comprehend ? Can we understand how GREAT the Greatness IS inside of each one of us ? Can you hear his concern and compassion for us ? For others outside his physical body over whom he has sent resounding messages to . That man is an Alpha ! We feel safe listening to him. That is how I want my love and her children to see me, to hear me, to love me as I love them, all in.

May my heart be kind
My mind fierce
and my spirit brave
