On Easter Sunday, Jordan Peterson made an Instagram post titled, “Pursue Your Life’s Adventure.” In it, he said, “To pursue your life’s adventure is better than happiness…and maybe if you’re lucky, while you’re pursuing it, you get to be happy.” (Click here to read the full post)

This is something I completely disagree with. Peterson struggles with happiness himself, which is why he says things like this. He’s made it very public that he struggles with depression.

I don’t think happiness comes from luck. Happiness is a state of being. It’s a choice, and a level of consciousness. As conscious beings, our greatest power is our ability to choose. That’s how we create our reality. 

In today’s episode, BT and I discuss our thoughts on Peterson’s post. You’ll learn:

We’re all part of an amazing intelligence in the universe that continues to push life forward. Everything that happens (whether “good” or “bad”) can be seen as something that’s leading up to something greater. Every problem is leading to something better. 

Each of us can have an intention to feel a certain way or experience whatever we want—whether it’s feeling happy, sad, angry, or mad. You can choose to show up in a certain way, and this is a choice based on your level of consciousness or understanding
