Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

You know, that's an interesting thing to know too, you know, because you're going to have a lot of problems in your life.

And a problem approached comprehensively is an opportunity.

And that's something very, very useful to know.

And the deeper the problem is, the more it's going to hurt you.

But the more opportunity lurks in that problem, because the fact that it besets you means you could be the person to pursue the solution.

And that's something very interesting to know.

It's akin to the claim that the dragon hoards the gold.

And implicit in that is the notion that the larger dragons have the more valuable gold.

You know, and Tammy referred to that to some degree tonight.

You know, she's been in a situation over the last few years where she's had to face very serious illness and death on a multitude of fronts in many, many ways.

And that's about as bitter as it gets.

Although, as bitter as it gets is a very deep form of bitterness.

And

It's not too much to say that because she approached the problem on her knees, let's say, that the net consequence of that suffering has been positive.

And I suppose that's the secret to a life well lived, isn't it?

Because there's going to be no shortage of serious problems that are coming your way.

And if you can't transform them into stellar opportunities, then you're going to be left in the dust.

And you do that, at least, not least by faith, but also as a consequence of a certain form of humility.

So we could get to that next.

You have a problem.
