Truth and Responsibility
The following blog is a summary of the learning from the Audbrey Marcus podcast, #155 Truth and Responsibility with Jordan Peterson.
Get your markers for success right
- Contrast / measure yourself against yourself
- Measure yourself against yourself is the only way you know you are improving yourself
Make a plan and do not obsess about it
- Take action and fix it as you go
- Do not go part way on the new plan or stay the same way
Own the Day, Own your life
Audbrey Marcus
Focus on what you don’t know
Audbrey Marcus
Do not punish people in your life that do what you want them to do
- Wife
- Kids
- Example: Want them to share their day, but when they try you tell them to leave you alone
Fix your everyday to make a big difference in your life
- Anything that is everyday is a big portion of your productive time during your life
- “Alive time” vs “Dead Time”
- Detach yourself from yourself and observe what you do everyday
When evaluating your options do not forget the “Risk of your current situation / current choice”
- Cost of non-action
- It is never too late
The actualization of your potential is fucking scary

Your life is meaningful or meaningless

Come to the understanding that things would be better off if you were not so worthless
- Do not let this paralze you
Discipline your kids to decrease the probability of the repeat of a mistake
- So use the minimum level of necessary force to accomplish the intended purpose
Use the minimum necessary level of force against yourself to fix your own mistakes / problems
- Minimum necessary to accomplish the intended purpose
