تدريب Shadowing: Will I ever lock in? - تعلم التحدث بالإنجليزية عبر الفيديو

Will I ever lock in?

I mean, I guess if I count the days that I consider wasted, then it's been 1,419 days.

And I've talked about this before, you know, I feel like I talk about it enough, you know, wasting time and all that stuff.

But it's so weird how after, you know, the past four years, I never quite locked in.

But what's even more absurd than that is that some way, somehow, I've made it to the point where I am without ever locking in.

And it's so weird because I'm not exactly in a bad position.

I'm actually in an extremely rare position.

And obviously, I haven't done anything extraordinary yet.

I haven't, you know, become successful to some extreme extent.

But considering how much I have not been locked in, I have gotten to this point.

So it's just weird how I can be so not locked in or so seemingly out of focus,

yet I can do things that are like push me forward.

and it's like I keep on wrestling with myself you know

every single day I ask myself you know will I ever lock in will I ever just focus

and stop wasting my time stop you know scrolling Instagram

and TikTok and all this stuff and it's like I feel like I'm wasting

so much of my life so much of my time

and also I'm I'm moving you know I'm doing things

so it's kind of like this this in-between state where I'm not fully nothing,

I'm not fully doing nothing, yet I'm also like sort of preventing myself from reaching my full potential.

And that's what it really is.

It's not that I haven't done anything, it's that I haven't done as much as I could.

And that's, you could say that's like always the case, but for me personally, I just feel like I could be doing

so much more like genuinely so much more

and I'm just like I am my own bottleneck I am my own restrictor

and it's so hard to like feel like you're gonna tell yourself to do it like

and this is like the the problem of life this is just something

that like I feel like every Everyone has this issue.

Not everyone, but a lot of people do that where they just can't get yourself to do the thing.

And I want to do it so bad.

I mean, I literally think more about it or tell myself more to do it than I ever have actually done it.

And somehow I guess that's just like the cycle you put yourself into.

and it makes me wonder like what

if I just went like this the rest of my life

I mean that'd be horrible I can't stay in this position of not actually doing

and it's like I am doing but I could be doing

so much more and if I just let myself or if I push myself or just got past that block

I would just, you know, everything would just become even more ridiculous as it is now.

Like, the way my life is and the way that things have formed and changed and happened, like, I don't know if I can give myself credit for it.

It's just like the way things are going, it's incredible, genuinely.

But it's like I haven't, I feel like I haven't even done much, you know, to make it happen. and it's weird how

that works it's like god has just provided me all of this these blessings

or this luck and you know he's given me so much

but not enough to the point where i can be like oh yeah now i can sit back

and relax but it's like enough where i have to like genuinely take accountability

and look at myself and be like okay

if this is going to turn into something

if this is going to be legitimate and if I'm going to continue on this direction and actually create long-lasting success, right?

Because all of this is short-term, what I've accomplished with this channel and whatnot,

but long-lasting success, then that will require genuine foundation of the person I am.

And if I don't do that, then everything that I've accumulated will cease.

So it's like I'm constantly trying to like counting the days or thinking about all this,

these things that I should be doing.

Like it's even simple things.

I'm like, man, instead of scrolling, I should just be reading a book

or I should be studying up on something

or just you know watching YouTube videos about something more educational

and I mean I do it

but I just I feel like I don't do it enough

and I don't know how to how to make up for it

and it's like the days keep counting up you know like I'm at the end of the day

and I'm not not satisfied with what I've done I'm not satisfied with where I'm at

and it's you don't want to get too caught up in

wishing you were in a different place

but also you don't want to get too comfortable

so it's like this mix of appreciating where you are

but also not letting that appreciation or that comfortability make you just do nothing and that's where I'm at.

I'm realizing that God has given me so much opportunity to do something

and I'm the only one that can mess it up at this point.

A lot of stuff you can say is up to luck

or it's up to God or it's up to whatever

but really right now I think most of it's up to me at least in terms of just taking action. And what?

It's been like 200 days of 2026.

I've been 18 for five months.

And it's weird to like, I think about all these different measurements.

I think life is just slowly passing by.

Or not even slowly, but quickly.

And I think about a life where I never reach my full potential.

I think about a life where I never got to that point where I could just focus.

Where I could just slap myself in the face and be like, you know what?

This is it.

This is the time.

This is the moment.

And I just do it.

And I still haven't gotten there.

And I think how I've gotten this far, it's like, maybe it's just luck.

Like, I don't know.

I haven't done anything.

Yet somehow I'm still here.

and you know the work

that I need to do like I put off all my

work until like night like right now it's 12 45

and technically it's not even yesterday I mean now it's Monday even though I'm still like coming back from Sunday

and I guess it was like you know lazy Sunday

or whatever but I could have done so much more

and I'm trying to think of like a day where I was like satisfied with the work I did

and not in the sense that the work wasn't worth doing

but did I do enough

and I don't think I have had one of those days literally for the past four years

100

and I could try and convince myself

101

that yeah you know you didn't have those days

102

but I don't know and maybe it's like I expect too much from myself

103

or the way I'm thinking I should act is just it's just unrealistic or Or it's just kind of not necessary.

104

Or it's based off of this sort of wrong frame of mind of how a person should live or conduct themselves.

105

But still, I just can't get it out of my head.

106

That I should be someone who is, I'm not saying productive all the time.

107

but someone who is always being very careful with how they are living their life

108

and not living passively and not being unsatisfied with what they're currently doing and

109

that is the main thing you know you don't always have

110

to be working you don't always have to be productive but for me

111

what I know I should be doing is not living in a moment where I'm unsatisfied with what I'm doing

112

when I have the option to do something where I would be happy doing it

113

or proud of it you know like for scrolling you know like you scroll Instagram

114

and you're just like in this loop and obviously you do it

115

because it's fun right it's not like scrolling is unenjoyable Of course it's enjoyable.

116

But it's not the thing that is actually fulfilling.

117

So there's so many other more fulfilling things, things that last, that I should be doing, but I'm not.

118

And those things would be productive.

119

But it's not for the sake of productivity, but it's for the sake of doing something that's purposeful.

120

And that's the main point I'm getting at.

121

I'm not fully living every day with some type of purpose.

122

And I'm not saying in terms of life purpose.

123

I don't know what my life purpose is, but just this purpose to achieve, this purpose to gain knowledge, this purpose to have perspective,

124

or to just, I guess, cultivate who you are and your mind and things like that.

125

And I haven't been doing enough of that.

126

I haven't been doing I've been I haven't hardly been doing any of it

127

or at least that's what it feels like and you know maybe externally

128

or maybe if you look objectively there has been a lot of it

129

but internally it doesn't feel like it

130

and that's like the only thing I can measure against really

131

and I don't know like will I ever get there will I ever get to a point where

132

I am that person and I can do that

133

and for some reason I have this problem where I feel like I have to just like instantly become

134

that person right away and you know there is this gradual build-up

135

and I've had it

136

but I feel like I don't need to have this gradual build-up of like

137

that person who is productive like why can't I just do it why can't I somehow force myself to be

138

that person and I guess that's just not how it works like what what

139

if you know people talk about all these different methods like okay this is how you lock in

140

or something about like I've seen people talk about like a monk mode

141

or something whatever that is but it's all these different methods

142

and ultimately it has to become your your lifestyle it has to become who you are and I guess that you know, that takes time.

143

It's not instant.

144

And I wish it was.

145

And maybe it's that obsession with wanting it to be instant, right?

146

That it's, that it never happens.

147

It's kind of like, like get rich quick, you know, like everyone wants to get rich quick,

148

but actually all the things it requires to actually hold on to wealth or acquire wealth or whatever it is,

149

it takes, it takes more than just the external of what takes your character, right?

150

And maybe that's also what it is with so-called locking in.

151

It's not just like an instant thing, but you have to take all of whatever who you were and completely switch it and flip it.

152

And maybe it is possible.

153

It can happen, but quite rarely is overnight.

154

And if you are so obsessed with that get rich quick thing or that lock-in-quick sort of idea,

155

then when you don't lock in, somehow you're surprised.

156

Or somehow you're just, not even surprised, somehow you're just like accepted it and you're disappointed

157

and then you just try again even though it's the same thing and it never works.

158

so like it's this perspective of first realizing

159

that whatever it is there's no there's no wasted days it's just it's just life

160

and if you can't let go if you can't let go it's like that weight

161

or that so-called debt will always be hanging behind you.

162

And even as I'm saying this, like, I don't know if I am accepting it.

163

I don't even know if I'm accepting that I just need to let it go.

164

And I don't know what's going to happen, like, in terms of locking in.

165

And maybe it's, like, the wrong frame of things.

166

Maybe you should be unlocked.

167

you should unlock yourself and just become like this I don't know just absorb and learn and not

168

not hold on because like the idea of like locking in it feels like you're somehow restricting yourself

169

but really like especially like with limitless you know like I

170

guess my series like trying to become limitless it's this ideal

171

of not limiting yourself not being stuck in one frame of or one ideal of how things are supposed to be,

172

but instead, you know, everything that you're doing is boundless, and you're supposed to be just,

173

like, in this frame of mind where nothing feels restrictive.

174

Nothing feels like discipline, and it feels like pleasure, you know?

175

Like, there's this ideal around discipline that, like, you have to discipline yourself but being disciplined and all that it's like it's not fun

176

it's not fun to be disciplined

177

and being disciplined in some way is like taking dislike to doing things

178

that are good for you

179

when in reality you don't have to be disciplined you should be enjoying everything

180

that is good for you and like like exercise you know people say You need discipline to exercise.

181

And maybe that is true, right?

182

But you shouldn't, for your whole life, have to discipline yourself to exercise.

183

You should enjoy exercising.

184

You should enjoy doing something that is healthy for you.

185

It has to become part of your identity or part of who you are, your lifestyle.

186

Because, you know, that's sort of why, like, you know, you see people go on, like, weight loss journeys.

187

And in many cases, they just gain it all back.

188

Because for however many months or whatever, they were disciplined, right?

189

They could get into that mode.

190

but it's like if it doesn't embed inside of you if

191

that doesn't become your lifestyle or who you are or something

192

that you just can't let go of then eventually it's going to leave you

193

and ultimately you must change the internal that's where it all starts internally

194

and if you can't change your outlook on certain things internally,

195

where you can't change who you are internally versus externally, then it's all going to just kind of fade away.

196

You know, whatever that progress was, whatever those dreams or ideals or everything, it'll leave you.

197

And you'll go back into your old ways.

198

So, it all starts with it.

199

And I don't know, I guess I know that, but it's hard to want to accept it.

200

Because, you know, obviously you want something quick that's quick.

201

You want something that seems instant, even though, weirdly enough, like from my perspective, it seems easier for it to be instant,

202

but really that's like the hardest way to do it.

203

It's almost impossible.

204

And for something to truly last, it takes time.

205

and it takes learning and if you ever want to get to

206

that place you have to first change who you are

207

and that's like the hardest part that is the part

208

that no one really wants to do no one really wants

209

to change who they are they just want to change what they have

210

or change everything that's external or everything that is in relation to other people or how other people view them.

211

But until you can confidently look at who you are and think that you are at least somewhat like,

212

you can say good things about yourself,

213

then that is when the change will remain change and it won't just be a season of change.

214

but it will be a lifetime.

215

I guess that's what I need to do.

216

It's less about the days, the hours, the time, and looking at it in terms of these sort of numbers that don't really even exist, you know?

217

I mean, time is just a measure for change.

218

That's all it is.

219

But instead, thinking more long-term and realize,

220

okay, you start changing now and you commit to it.

221

And you don't just want something short term, but you want to ultimately be better for your whole life.

222

And that's hard to commit to, but it's like having that in the back of your mind, realizing that like being more purposeful with your choices,

223

then I think at least

224

that is what will give you a better shot you know obviously there's no guarantees

225

but it'll give you a better chance

226

at ultimately achieving or becoming the person that achieves what you what you desire but of course

227

all within the will of god

تدريب Shadowing: Will I ever lock in? - تعلم التحدث بالإنجليزية عبر الفيديو

I’ve always been too afraid to tell people how I truly feel

I can’t help but want to be everything at once

I don't know what to say, I'm just tired

I can't get over the fact that I've wasted my teenage years

There is beauty and chaos in solitude

I sometimes wish I didn't think so much

At the end of the day it's up to you

I wish I had a best friend for just one day

I hate being performative
