Accepting that burden, taking on it voluntarily is already a victory in life. It is more difficult than just floating around and surviving. With all that you have! Aim at your goal and go all in, go with all that you’ve got and take it. Now if you have a goal, if you imagined a world for yourself, why don’t you start working at it. Imagine what would be your life look like if most of your days would be ideal. Imagine what your ideal day should look like. Why do you wake up in the morning? To just float around? To survive? To execute someone else’s agenda?Īnd so many have miserable life because they have no clear goals.
Without a goal, you don’t know… …you don’t know just anything at all. Probably the most important thing in your life is to have a goal. No wind is good for a sailor if he doesn’t know where he wants to go. Especially if you work on that one thing that you imagined for your future self. I think this rule goes pretty much hand in hand with RULE VII: Work as hard as you possibly can on at least one thing and see what happens. RULE II: Imagine who you could be, and then aim single-mindedly at that. With that header, I summarized in one sentence the rules I picked for this article. Work hard without sticking to an ideology and be grateful for what you get RULE XII: Be grateful in spite of your suffering.RULE XI: Do not allow yourself to become resentful, deceitful, or arrogant.RULE X: Plan and work diligently to maintain the romance in your relationship.RULE IX: If old memories still upset you, write them down carefully and completely.RULE VIII: Try to make one room in your home as beautiful as possible.RULE VII: Work as hard as you possibly can on at least one thing and see what happens.RULE IV: Note that opportunity lurks where responsibility has been abdicated.RULE III: Do not hide unwanted things in the fog.RULE II: Imagine who you could be, and then aim single-mindedly at that.RULE I: Do not carelessly denigrate social institutions or creative achievement.
I’m going to share the 12 rules and then I tell you my take on 3 of them. That’s what the 12 rules of this book are about. We have to push ourselves into the unknown. We have to sneak in some changes, some curiosity in our lives. We are better off if we can avoid excessive order. In his next book, Beyond Order, the author focuses on the dangers of too much security and control. It also brings novelty, transformation, disruption. It’s the wrong way to look at it, as chaos has its merits.
But we cannot simply say that order is preferable over chaos, nor the other way around. In his first book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, Jordan B Peterson focused on the consequences of too much chaos in our lives and how to make it better, how to bring our lives more into order.
