Jordan Peterson who once was a quiet Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto has become a divisive persona in the public eye for his strong opinions on feminism, masculinity, philosophy, and free speech that have garnered both praises and jibes.
For some, he is the dream dinner guest, while others have strongly opposed and ridiculed his views.Whatever side you may choose but there is a reason why the clinical psychologist has been addressed as the man they couldnât cancel.
The man has the wisdom to share about happiness, success, self-improvement, and mental strength, the latter strongly relates to the emotional health of humankind during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.These insightful and thought-provoking quotes by Jordan Peterson will help you analyze your realities, see yourself in a new light, and direct you towards the path of being emotionally strong to take on challenges and change your life.âHe whose life has a why can bear almost any how.ââPursue what is meaningful (not what is expedient).ââPerhaps you are overvaluing what you donât have and undervaluing what you do.â â  12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to ChaosâThe secret to your existence is right in front of you, and it manifests itself as all those things you know you should do but youâre avoiding.ââYou must determine where you are going in your life because you cannot get there unless you move in that direction.
Random wandering will not move you forward.
It will instead disappoint and frustrate you and make you anxious and unhappy and hard to get along with (and then resentful, and then vengeful, and then worse).ââCompare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.ââYou might be winning but youâre not growing and growing might be the most important form of winning.ââYou have to treat yourself like you matter because if you donât then you donât take care of yourself and you become vengeful and cruel and you take it out on people around you and you are not a positive force.
None of that is good.
