      The only thing necessary for evil to succeed is for good men and women to idly sit by and do nothing.
      The answer is obvious. The ppl would rather live in fear. Stop fearing them and you've already won half the battle. Fear is their greatest weapon. Turn their greatest weapon against them.

      Like a dog chasing its own tail. Living in the light of hope is living in a limited way. True freedom does not require that you not be still so as not to feel anxious. True freedom comes from considering and accepting the potential fatality, which is different from fatalism. The possibility of the fatality comes after hope, it is said that hope is the last to die, not for us to hold on to it, but so that we know what is the last thing that should die. Hope must always die. What he is saying leads us to live a compulsive and blind perverse life, distorted by fear. Don't rush. You don't know what you want.

    Update, I got a boyfriend, serious and it’s been going on for a few months and I have a few new friends. Going out more, at cafes, or at the gym, made things a lot easier. For those who feel alone, it’s possible, don’t give up.

It held me back from my life just like Jordan is saying here. There’s always a path to go down, even if it isn’t exactly what you want at the time, take action. That’s when answers will come. Nothing is going to help you if you’re not helping yourself. He is right on. 😊❤

Its what kept going & pushing onward. That and a feeling that something good Will happen if i just continue to turn the page day by day and keep on pushing forward even if i feel quite fearfull sometimes. For now the goal is to be able to get out into the working life properly & get some stability in my life. & more friends along the road but i guess we Will see what the world has in store for me. But by the time i go i hope ive atleast Done something good for those who is stuck in the same place. And for those who are There now. Keep going even if its painfull & hard. Things might be bad now but one day things Will light up. And remember that so long you still draw breath & is Alive you can still set things right in your life and turn it to the better. So long as you still live you still hold the power to change your life for the better. You may not feel like you have the strength for it but you do. You just gotta find it

      So when I graduated everyone was saying that this degree is hopeless (bio) and I was sooo afraid of not finding something better than my current job and was also afraid of getting rejected, :(
      And unfortunately I can't do anything w engineering atm cause I don't have the degree, so I was feeling very hopeless.
      Currently, I decided to enroll for post bacc and take the pre req in engineering for masters and meanwhile I switched to full timer at my current job( been there for over 2years) and trying to use my free time to learn all the skills needed for engineering
      God got a plan, and all I got is to be patient

      Three things: a crap job is a catalyst for a good job. Go serve coffee or drive Lyft, etc. it will show you that you can succeed and help you socialize. Anxiety is a primitive response to not having a “tribe” or social circle to keep you safe. Plus crap jobs are easy to get right now. Also, anxiety is often what happens to a brain too exposed to comfort. Look at the comfortable things or dopamine inducing things you do and start cutting them out little by little. Less sugar, caffeine, alcohol, sex, nicotine, etc. now, go get a six pack. Do the P90X ab routine. The effect it produces on your brain is shocking. It is the single most pain inducing exercise routine I’ve experienced. After you complete it, the pain induces a “runner’s high” like I’ve never felt before. If you do it in it’s entirety, you will literally feel like you just took drugs. No kidding. Plus, It rewires anxiety out of your neurology. Your brain must become more sensitive to dopamine to overcome the pain, which drastically reduces anxiety. Finally, stop saying negative things in your head. If you do that, your subconscious will think you’re going to die. Anxiety is the result.

Thank God I did not feel bitter. He had been a gift from God to begin with. I spent the first year just trying to stay alive. Then, I moved onto trying to not become homeless. I successfully kept depression away for a couple of years. I'm pursuing nothing and even worse, I'm living in the past in my memories. Becoming a widow at 55 years old almost broke me. God is my refuge and he never left me for a second. I know this because, I'm still alive. God bless you, Mr. Peterson.🩵

      Cannot teach it, only gently guide, suggest. eg If they come home with an unsuitable partner to test you, invite them for lunch or to come away for the family weekend. Never ban them or criticise - the rebellious reaction will cement a long liaison that may have been only temporary if you'd kept cool. Opposition = extra determination.

      In my case, I did not like to be compared. It makes you feel less or superior. My mother used to say to my sister: "look at your sister, she is better than you at school." It hurt both me and my sister. Plus it made her feel inferior to me and it brings jealousy. However I am sure that she was wishing what was best for my sister, and her intentions were to motivate her to study more.

    I wish I saw this around 2016 could have saved 5 years. He's right here people, I experienced this. Doing nothing makes you depressed and it's a spiral and you lose years. If you're struggling I know it's bloody hard I'm not gonna say it's not it's soul destroying. Even if you fail keep going. Stay strong it'll be better even if you feels that it won't.

      History of my life. I'm 35, I'm just getting by awaiting dead. Just kill time work some, pay bills, have a friend's gathering, then workshop, house, nothing else.

    pursue self-improvement, start with cutting out alcohol, junk food and drugs, then start working out, start praying to God and pursue meaning in discipline

    With the help of his speech, I didn't gave up my degree, and today I managed to obtain it, securing me a safe route, and I can now pursuit my dreams. Thank you Mister Peterson, you are definitely a beautiful person.
