Use the Jordan Peterson “Self Authoring” method. Imagine your future self, three years older and in the best place for yourself and your future children. Write down a description of what your future self is doing to make the world better and the kinds of people in your life. Write quickly without regard to syntax and spelling errors. Spend 15 to 60 minutes on this exercise. Revise this rough draft later if you like. This will give you a goal towards which you can progress. You will make errors in pursuing your goal. We all do. Forgive yourself and correct your course when you notice an error. Revise your goal if, after pursuing it, you realize that you want something better. You won’t know where you should be if you don’t know who you are.

I like it when during the show, Mike talks directly to a person who has called in with a problem, because then Mike is revealed as a truth teller who has spent consequential time pursuing self-knowledge. This assures me that Stefan is real and that wisdom like his can be acquired by lessor mortals, if they are willing to honestly engage in the work.
