TRANSCRIPT:

A Harsh Truth

DR. JORDAN B. PETERSON: Ladies and gentlemen, let that sink in for a moment. It’s a harsh, brutal truth that no one likes to hear, but it’s exactly what you need to hear. Why? Because it’s a wake-up call, a moment that challenges your comfortable illusions about the world.

You’ve been taught, consciously or unconsciously, that if you just follow the right steps, put in enough effort, or be kind enough, people will care about you, they’ll take notice, and they’ll help you on your journey. But guess what? That’s not how the world works, and you need to understand this, not to make you bitter, but to set you free. The truth is, the world doesn’t owe you anything.

The people around you have their own struggles, their own battles. Your problems are your own to solve. This might sound discouraging at first, but stay with me, because it’s exactly what you need to hear to get where you want to go. You might be sitting there thinking, “I’ve worked hard, why don’t people appreciate me?”

Why do I feel invisible? Well, I’m telling you, nobody cares about you, and that’s your greatest opportunity. You have the power to change your life, not because someone else will swoop in and save you, but because you can choose to rise above, push through, and create your own path. It’s going to be tough, it’s going to require grit, but only by acknowledging that nobody cares about you, can you start to truly care about yourself.

This speech is not for the faint of heart, it’s for those who are ready to take their life into their own hands.
