It's You
Peterson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look how far we've come girl I owe it all to you

The first time I had second thoughts
About loving you, I almost walked away
I'm glad I stayed
I know you love me like nobody does
So now I'm certain that if stayin' was a mistake
It was the best one I ever made

Seemed I was always just a few footsteps behind
But still you knew
If you were patient, that in time my heart
Would find its way to you

Look how far we've come girl it's all because
You would not give up on me
If I stop to count all my blessing out
I know what they would be
Your forgiveness, devotion, our love and an ocean
Of little things you do
Yeah I've got it all and I owe it all to you

If ever there was someone I could trust
Beyond a shadow of a doubt it must be you
Girl your love is true
If life ever brings us to a standstill girl
We'll catch love's second wind
And let it blow our hearts away
To places we have never been

Look how far we've come girl it's all because
You would not give up on me
If I stop to count all my blessing out
I know what they would be
Your forgiveness, devotion, our love and an ocean

Of little things you do
Yeah I've got it all and I owe it all to you

Life would actually be very easy if we could just achieve whatever we want by working hard and smart.

But it's rather the dependency on other people, the resentment from other people, the hate from other people, the jealousy from other people, and the fact that you being the hardest and smartest worker in the room, is probably going to work in your disfavor, not your favor.

That's the REAL reason why life sucks. I can't tell how many times I've done my absolute best and gotten little to nothing in return. You come to a point where it's just better to not try at all and let things come to you naturally instead (as they should), rather than this constant pushing.

Being a Civic Economist from the best Business school in my country, I literally could not care if I just worked as a Cashier at a grocery store. But then again, I can never get such a position again, even if I begged for it.

So yeah, be careful for what you wish for because you just might get it. And just like JP said; You're screwed no matter what you do.

I just want to die, so fed up with life.

Saving typically results in you earning a lower return but with virtually no risk. In contrast, investing allows you the opportunity to earn a higher return, but you take on the risk of loss in order to do so. Not reaching a million before retirement feels like an unfulfilled retirement.

I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments. I purchased my first home at the age of 21 for $87,000 and sold it for $197,000. My second home, acquired for $170,000, was later sold for $320,000, and my third property, purchased at $300,000, fetched $589,000, with buyers covering all closing costs and expenses..

The amazing thing is that this is not 'new' wisdom. Don't get me wrong, I revere Jordan Peterson just as much as others do. But essentially he is, in a way, telling us that which already know but do not fully realize. It's as if you had forgotten a word you were thinking of, then having someone tell you what that word is. You feel both incredulous and relived at hearing that lost word, which you had trouble recalling. This is the feeling Mr. Peterson invokes, at least in me, when he reveals a revelation about the symbols and signs in our society.

Perhaps Jordan would not have found himself at the front lines of our culture war, had he not been a good speaker. But he is...and an incredibly excellent one at that! If every teacher I had spoke as eloquently and passionately as Peterson, I might very well be in a different situation than I am in today. But what he is speaking of, within this particular lecture, is what may have brought me to my current situation today, regardless of academic proficiency.

The follies and tragedies of my life have ultimately lead me to where I am. We were poor and so I had to work full time throughout my time in high school, from the age of fourteen. Our single Mother fell quite ill, placing the responsibility on me and my brother to pay bills. I suffered various accidents and injuries over my lifetime, ultimately landing me as a handicapped or disabled person. So while I am still trying to adjust to my situation, I heed the advice which Peterson divulges here. The universality does escape us, that we all suffer. My story could be no different than your own, but what we do in the wake of adversity and tragedy, as Peterson teaches us, is what makes that experience tolerably.

I am grateful for having found Jordan Peterson online. I would have otherwise not heard of him, were he transported into the limelight. For the adversity, which Peterson now suffers, I am also grateful.

You seem older so what Jordan says makes a lot of sense. I think he blew up though, not because he's speaking truth we know but forgot, but rather because young people don't know this yet in any meaningful way. And they get officially taught that you can't succeed because everyone else is racist etc. And the way to see the world is by identifying with a group. And you're ok if your group is ok. Whereas Jordan focuses on the individual. How it's suffering and to elevate the suffering without blaming a group but yourself.

Ur right, it's living in that dichotomy of needing people and hating people. I think love & our higher nature come thru when we live as simply as possible and are inspired to give freely, not out of codependency. And we have to let go of the notion of "happiness". It only creates misery.

That's why I want to start singing again. It's a small thing of beauty, expectation free, that I can keep for myself. Something to steady me thru the successes & failures, even the seeming futility of life.

They are the people who should "have a following" and whose voices "deserve to be heard", because they are learned men who read, study, and write to great extents in their respective academic fields. They should be the KOLs, key opinion leaders, in the true sense. Now, not saying they must be right, but their opinions deserve to be considered.

Is that his big answer, to just be so busy that you don't have time to think about it?

Well critizising meaning of life is inevitable for all of us. Being as gnawing termite on temple has its utility, to understand yourself and define worth of your being. Mostlikely without communication eventually leads to self-destructiveness. Since not many pple willing to dive into this topic, neither brave enough to face their own significance.
But if we all dwelwe into this topic anyway, why cant we solve it? Taking medications that may have positive symptoms is not enough for me. Since medication is not part of me. I never personally even tried that sort of medications, feels like a wrong idea.
Supposedly selfproving does have positive side, to seek solutions to become significant in your own eyes. But its going to be never-ending self-proving cycle to reach new levels of worth definining.
At times its hard to even find the angle to start your selfimprovement.
