20 Quotes From Jordan Peterson that Will Inspire You
“Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.”
“Do the things which make you strong. Stop doing the things which make you weak (unless you want to be weak).”
"You must decide how much of your time to spend on this, and how much on that. You must decide what to let go, and what to pursue."
“Instead of protesting and trying to change the world, first win the war of evil within yourself. To make the world a better place first do the things you have to do every day. And do them… actually do them every day.”
"The dominant male, with his upright and confident posture, not only gets the prime real estate and easiest access to the best hunting grounds. He also gets all the girls. It is exponentially more worthwhile to be successful, if you are a lobster, and male."
“So attend carefully to your posture. Quit drooping and hunching around. Speak your mind. Put your desires forward, as if you had a right to them - at least the same right as others. Walk tall and gaze forthrightly ahead. Dare to be dangerous.”
"Maybe your misery is your attempt to prove the world's injustice, instead of the evidence of your own sin, your own missing of the mark, your conscious refusal to strive and to live."
"Those who fail to learn from the past doom themselves to repeat it. It's partly fate. It's partly inability. It's partly... unwillingness to learn? Refusal to learn? Motivated refusal to learn?"
”You can not be a good person until you know how much evil you contain within you.”
“The future is like the past. But there’s a crucial difference. The past”
“The future is like the past. But there’s a crucial difference. The past is fixed, but the future - it could be better.”
“You must determine where you are going, so that you can bargain for yourself, so that you don’t end up resentful, vengeful and cruel.”
"Be cautious when you're comparing yourself to others. You're a singular being, once you're an adult. You have your own particular, specific problems - financial, intimate , psychological, and otherwise."
“You’re not supposed to be fighting dragons that aren’t in your way.”
“To stand up straight with your shoulders back is to accept the terrible responsibility of life, with eyes wide open. It means deciding to voluntarily transform the chaso of potential into the realities of habitable order.”
“If your life isn’t going well, perhaps it is your current knowledge that is insufficient, not life itself.”
“If you want to be excellent, staying consistent with your goals and positive habits over time will separate you from the herd of mediocrity.
It all starts with a goal. If you don’t have a destination in mind, you’re just adrift at sea going with the flow.”“Be cautious when you’re comparing yourself to others. You’re a singular being, once you’re an adult. You have your own particular, specific problems - financial, intimate, psychological and otherwise.”
Consult your resentment. It’s a revelatory emotion, for all its pathology. It’s part of an evil triad: arrogance, deceit, and resentment. Nothing causes more harm than this underworld Trinity.”
“I want things in my life to be a tiny bit better than they were this morning. What could I do that I would do, that would accomplish that, and what small thing would I like as a reward?”
“Can you imagine yourself in 10 years if instead of avoiding the things you know you should do, you actually did them every single day - That’s powerful.”
