You Should Be A Monster । Motivation By Jordan Peterson

In this powerful and thought-provoking motivational speech, Jordan Peterson delves into the concept of integrating one’s “shadow” and embracing the darker aspects of human nature to achieve true strength and self-respect. Titled "You Should Be A Monster," this video challenges conventional ideas about virtue and weakness, arguing that true morality comes from being capable of cruelty but choosing not to act on it. Peterson’s message is both profound and unsettling, urging viewers to confront their inner darkness to become stronger, more disciplined, and ultimately more virtuous individuals. Peterson emphasizes that being harmless is not the same as being virtuous. He explains that true virtue lies in being a “monster”—someone capable of great harm—but choosing to control that potential. Drawing on examples from mythology, literature, and martial arts, he illustrates how heroes like Harry Potter and Batman embody this balance of power and restraint. This integration of the shadow, as Peterson calls it, is essential for developing self-respect and the ability to withstand life’s challenges. The speech also addresses the modern tendency to equate masculinity and competence with tyranny, arguing that this narrative harms both men and women. Peterson encourages individuals, especially young men, to embrace their capacity for strength and assertiveness while learning to control it. He warns that weakness and naivety lead to bitterness and victimhood, whereas strength and self-discipline pave the way for peace and respect. This video is a must-watch for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of human nature and the path to true personal growth. Let Jordan Peterson’s insights inspire you to confront your inner monster, develop your strength, and live a life of purpose and integrity.
