If You’re Depressed With No Goals, You Need This Advice From Jordan Peterson

Especially if your mind is in a hamster wheel of stimulation

The universe is moving toward greater and greater chaos. No scientist needs to prove this to you. You feel it in the depths of your bones, looking at your own life.

Left to their own devices, your finances, relationships, and possessions will diminish to nothing.

Practically everything demands conscious input to continue. And it’s exhausting.

If you’re like me, the big questions are never far from your psyche.

But asking them often diminishes the vitality of earthly life in the first place.

If our interactions are all impermanent, what use is there trusting conditioned, limited, bound-to-end love?
If all accomplishments will end up forgotten, what’s the use of striving for external recognition?

There are a million ways to get confused about your purpose here.

But you’ve got to come back to sanity.

If you have no goals, there’s a simple and infallible way to get the right ones.

What five things could you do today that may make tomorrow slightly better?
Then, what slightly larger issues, short term, can you address to give your life a sense of control or stability?
Finally, after being in ‘fix it’ mode, your sphere of control broadens until an actual vision becomes possible.

Start small. Accomplish what’s in front of you, so you build the mental muscles of willpower.

It’s up to you to resist our broken culture.

Before technology made our brains behave like entitled, self-deluding millionaires’ children, the pioneers had a wise saying.

Up to 99% of what you do will be fighting the chaos of entropy.

With enough struggle, 1% of your efforts will produce active progress.

This is how it’s been for all of human existence. Struggling against the elements, building upon generations of earth-based labor.

That’s what it means to build civilization; to leave something behind for the future to find itself upon.

The good times of this century are producing weak humans. Will you let your mind slide away with the times?

Or will you grab the ladder that’s arising right now, deep within your conscience, telling you what you need to do?
