Imagine Who You Could Be, and Then Aim Single-Mindedly at That.

How do you know who you are?
You are complex beyond your own understanding; more complex than anything else that exists, excepting other people; complex beyond belief. And your ignorance is further complicated by the intermingling of who you are with who you could be. You are not only something that is. You are something that is becoming— and the potential extent of that becoming also transcends your understanding.
Everyone has the sense, I believe, that there is more to them than they have yet allowed to be realized. That potential is often obscured by poor health, misfortune, and the general tragedies and mishaps of life. But it can also be hidden by an unwillingness to take full advantage of the opportunities that life offers— abetted by regrettable errors of all sorts, including failures of discipline, faith, imagination, and commitment.
Who are you? And, more importantly, who could you be, if you were everything you could conceivably be?

Jordan & Tammy Peterson Understand Myself Couples Report
This episode was recorded on March 12, 2021.
In this episode, Mikhaila, Jordan, and Tammy Peterson cover their Understand Myself Couples Report —a feature in the Discovering Personality Course, which you receive after completing the Understand Myself "Big Five" personality assessment within the course. The idea behind it, as the name suggests, is to help you better understand your own and other people's personalities. After going over Jordan and Tammy’s report, we dive into the different personality types, the benefits of the report, negotiating with your partner, disciplining children, and much more.

Jordan B. Peterson:
"As your differences on agreeableness, and this is true for all the personality dimensions, maybe, except for neuroticism. As the gap between you, when you are in a couple increases, it's also increasingly difficult for people to understand each other because they don't understand their motivations."

The Discovering Personality Course
|
|
My Discovering Personality Course Valentine's Sale ends soon. The following rule was the inspiration behind the course:
Rule 2: Treat yourself like someone you're responsible for helping.
There's a lot of potential within you, and you're more necessary than you think to the unfolding of things. We don't know how our actions echo through time, so what you do matters. Treat yourself as if what you do matters. Have reverence for yourself and know yourself. I would argue there are few subjects more meaningful to study than your personality and the personalities of those around you. In the 5 hour course, you will find more information than in the typical full-scale semester personality course at university.
