Post Interview

Why does everyone want to be someone different in an interview?  Just be yourself

Video One take let's go. "Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street." (Rule 12 Jordan Peterson ) This is really a play off of stop and smell the roses because It's pretty obvious that life is suffering or that  It is at least marred by tragedy and things we cannot overcome. This rule is just all about Enjoying the Wonder of Being, and not shutting off to it just because things aren't abs...

One-take. Let's go. Do not bother children while they're skateboarding. This is Rule 11 in Peterson's 12 rules for life. It is really a dialogue and a question on toughness, and how, especially as caregivers, it can be very easy to not want any harm to come to the person that you are taking care of, but the the way any of us can grow and learn is to fall and skin our knees every once in a while an...

Today I had an interview and it went...okay Also, I am all setup at my new place in San Diego!

One take. Let's Go. Be precise in your speech. This rule is the exact reason I am doing this video right here, right now. It's to practice being as precise in my speech as possible, and especially for someone who stutters, but also all of us in general have a difficulty being truthful. Being truthful in our speech and so this is Rule 10 in Jordan Peterson's 12 rules for life and, so, be precise in...

Video 26/90 Assumes that the person you are listening to might know something that you don't. (Rule 9 Jordan Peterson 's 12 Rules for Life) I think it is far too easy for all of us to assume what we know a person is going to say, or We just listened to respond instead of listening to comprehend That's just part of human nature and it's why we must buck this existential trend of trying to respond,...

To whatever extend you condemn someone else,  you are, at least subconsciously, condemning yourself.

Video 25/90 Tell the truth, or at least, don't lie. This is Rule 8 in Jordan Peterson's 12 rules for life. This is what I've been really trying to work on myself, All of us can find it far too easy to bend the truth to our own reality. When in reality: the truth is all that really matters. I've been working on the past several years now of speaking the truth as much as I know it to be because if y...

Video 24/90 Pursue what is Meaningful, not what is expedient. This is absolutely crucial because especially today so many of us want the immediate returns, when in reality, this is a long game, and so it is crucial to look absolutely long term, Instead of thinking: How can I gain from this tomorrow? Think: Today, it's way more about the long game because meaning is the ultimate balance between, on...

Video 23/90 “Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world." Rule 6 in Jordan Peterson 's 12 Rules for Life This is absolutely crucial and absolutely apt to today where everyone seems to be an expert on how to change the world when a lot of people's houses are in utter chaos. They can't even communicate properly or keep it clean or what have you. It's just in absolute chaos, but t...

This episode is one of the first episodes I recorded that ended up being stuck in the drafts. It is just me rambling for a while and trying to find a speech pattern.  Enjoy!

montgomeryborg.com Video 22/90 Are YOU a parent? "Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them. Rule 5 from Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life Children are just like blind people searching for a wall. They're trying to find the actual boundaries of life. Parents have a duty to act as proxies for the real world. Merciful proxies, Caring proxies, but proxies nonetheless. This ob...

Video 21/90 This is a message for all my people pleasers out there!! Treat YOURSELF like someone YOU are responsible for helping. Too many of us focus wayyyyy too much energy on others. When, yes, a lot of the time, we are in more of a caretaking roll, Or it's just in our nature to help, but we can't forget about ourselves. We can't forget about our own strengths, our own powers, and Don't underes...
