Vision & Destiny Episode Rating Graph

Jordan explains the difference between a good and bad vision and shows you how to navigate the infinite paths your future life could take. A clear vision can help create a future that can withstand any potential challenges.

Jordan walks through the faulty approach to identity that many psychologists take as a result of conflating sex and gender. As a result, affirming the subjective over the rational is hurting peoples’ integration into society, which is how identity is naturally shaped. This is fueling identity crises and preventing many from formulating a vision.

If you do not know who you are, you cannot know where you are going. Jordan explains how you should think about your identity. From the time you are three, the development of your identity is linked to others around you. You are “one note in a symphony.”

Developing a vision begins by asking, “What is the purpose of my life?” The transformation you hope to achieve by having a vision for the future starts with rejecting hedonistic desires for greater long-term reward.

It is a mistake to think you should love yourself just as you are. In the conclusion of Vision and Destiny, Jordan encourages you to love the idea of the person you can become. This begins by finding and nurturing your intrinsic worth, losing the parts that are making you miserable, and ultimately committing to a long-term plan that involves telling the truth. Because “if you tell the truth, you will have the adventure of your life.”
