"What you aim at determines the way the world manifests itself to you" Strong words

I am a recovering heroin addict and I apply what I have learned from my very humble understanding of Mr. Peterson's theory. I love this guy. Thank you.

I thought of it this way: that my environment is a representation of my mental state. I used to be comfortable living in clutter, and once i decided to take control over cleaning my room, washing dishes regularly, cooking, washing clothes on a schedule, life DID get better(as simply as i can put it).

I then took it to the way i spoke, not to use vulgarities, to speak gracefully. And then i controlled my eyes, to be conscious of what i viewed(no more porn, no more constantly viewing women simply by their sexual body parts). I think i’m turning into a monk

Update: i’m doing so well right now. I never thought i’d say this but damn, it feels good to be decently attractive; to actually get attention from ladies without even trying. But now comes the part where I have to learn how to leverage this instead of letting it ruin my character. Another 4 months of work!

Man this is crazy, last week I was feeling Really low and down so reorganized my room, built a desk, and I instantly felt better. Started reading more and took out the tv. Amazing how little changes like that make a huge difference.

After watching this, Dr Peterson inspired me to do the impossible. I cleaned my fucking room. Thankyou.

I want to improve myself because I am tired of being in the same place for last 5 years, tired of being alone, tired of not having my own principles and tired of NOT being myself. Thank you Jordan Peterson, listening to your lecture helping me.

Success is dependent on the action or steps you take to achieve it. Show me a man who doesn't have an investment and I will tell you how soon he'll go broke. Investment is building a safe haven for the future: with the right choices of investment that has minimum risk and with an Expert guidance, profit and interest should be guaranteed.

To achieve greatness, you need to start working towards it. Investing remains the smartest way to prepare for the future. Been into this for over 8years and I'm extremely pleased with the good returns. The good news is, it's never too late to start investing.

This is literally what I did like...2 years ago. Cleaning my room gave me the momentum to clean up my diet, my health, my act, and my life.

[sirdelrio]

My room is perfect. What bothers me is all the books I haven't read and the music I haven't played. The paralysis of analysis.

[reesefewell]

I didn't start making my bed until I heard Jordan Peterson say how important it was. I figured what was the point? Gonna mess it back up anyway. Now I do it every day and I gotta tell ya, walking into a room with a made bed makes me feel like a put-together adult in ways I can't explain 😁

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

I've watched this several times, and I keep finding it one of his most fundamental explanations. This should be mandatory stuff in high school, maybe even grammar school.
