You Can't Fix Other People, But You Can Fix Yourself | Short Clips

Want a better life? Want to make the world a better place? You can, when you take responsibility and start bettering yourself.

Best-selling author and clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson explains how incremental daily changes can lead to a better life and ultimately a more harmonious world.

This video was made possible thanks to the generous support of Dr. Bob.

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 family and I could have made an impact on our town. 

Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world."

So sick of the blame game and people not accepting responsibility for their own actions and outcomes..

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.

One thing to add: be grateful for what you have.

Jordan is one of the most important and valuable voices speaking in the world today.

There are two people in this world, those who seek excuses, and those who seek answers.
