He has a very good point. Being lazy and avoiding the things you're afraid of, for example, gets programmed into your mind and after a while it's incredibly difficult to do otherwise because by then it's part of your physiology. You still can go against it, it's just much harder than it ought to be.

"Anything you let win (internal arguments) grows. And anything you let be defeated shrinks."

Man, I wish I had professors like Mr.Peterson.

Oops. I think I just built 30 years worth of neurological circuits that stop me from doing what I need to do.

2:32 ->
That is gold. Really think about that, its about forming good habits and having the will to consciously replace a bad habit for a good one

[SuperUltraMomo]

My goodness! What Peterson just said in 3 mins just made me open my eyes and realized to the truth. Makes me wonder what an hour would do to change my whole life?

In my opinion this is the best video of Jordan Peterson's teachings. This short clip teaches us that everything we do, our brain is involved. Even the smallest decisions determines who we become. Every decision is also engaged in a position of strength. if you have poor impulse behaviors and decision making, you most likely have a neurological pattern of choosing the easy way out of situations. Making you weak minded and ultimately a weak individual. Everything we do is important. Start great habits, make the harder decision in your mind every single time and You'll become a better individual.

I love this piece of knowledge so much. I wish the "Don't practice what you don't want to become" is one of his new rules in his next book. More people need to know about this.

"So you must be carreful in what you say and what you do because you bild yourself that way"

[hanswurscht]

This is one of my two favorite rules. The other is "Opportunity lies where responsibility has been abdicated". To which Peterson is living proof that it's entirely correct.

its kinda sad that that do many ppl like myself see themself in these sort of behavior pattern, a lot of ppl tried to help, a lot of ppl gave a lot of diffrent advise, and none of it comes close to a 3 minute video from jordan peterson. i feel like these kinda topics should be something you talk about in school.

“Be larger than your task” , it is a quote very hard to follow, greetings from 🇲🇽

[chrisl]

Wow. I heard old saying "use it or lose it" Too true!

[justsaiyansteve]

Damn. Reinforcing the will to give up. Gotta stay strong.

[francevenezia]

I came to see that behaviors like anger only grow worse the more you indulge it. It doesnt "get it out of your system", but it grows worse rather than better.

[danacampbell]

The man is going to make me work on my novel, even though I could be spring cleaning. Thank you, Professor Peterson!

[asdfghjkzzxcvbn]

a very interesting and useful piece of knowledge. especially when you understand and relate

[MasterChief-slro]

Seems I heard that before. As one study shows. If someone tells you. You are worthless and you begin to believe it. You will over time. Stop trying.

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

this guy just inspired me so much. I'm writing out all my fantasies and ambitions and business plans and picking them apart
