“If you fulfil your obligations every day you don’t
need to worry about the future”
(Jordan Peterson)
According to Jordan
Peterson, society's present ill(ness) can be cured by firstly healing the
individuals that it's made of. "Clean your room," is
Peterson's famous advice. In fact, if someone can't even manage to deal with a
simple everyday task in his life, then how is he supposed to dictate to others
to fix the whole society? Personal change may seem difficult for some people to
apply but it's surely possible.
Changing yourself will
lead you to become and feel better than you were yesterday. You may think that
these 12 Rules will not really have an impact on your life but according
to the author: "Small changes can have disproportionately large
positive results." Moving towards goodness will constantly increase
the value of your life and "find its way out of dead ends and take it
out of hell in a much shorter time than you could expect." Life is
hard. For some people, it might be tragic, full of suffering and malice. But
although we can't fix everything in the world, we can fix things that are
within our power to do so and this is more than enough to make us live a much
better life.
THINK BIG. START
SMALL. GO DEEP.
