1
I can't help but want to be everything at once.
2
I saw this video on Instagram and it said something along the lines of like, I hate that I'll never get to be everything.
3
And that hit so hard because it's like...
4
for some reason, I want to be so much.
5
Not just overall in my lifetime, but right now.
6
And it's almost like being young Like there's this thing about age wanting to be young and wanting to, you know, be this person that is capable.
7
that is impressive, that is able to do a lot of things who You know, it's not that old.
8
And all that is vanity.
9
It is.
10
I've realized that But I used to be so hung up on that.
11
wanting, to be this very successful young person.
12
And what is essential to that is the young part.
13
It's so weird how How age can get in your head.
14
of like this comparison like this person's young this person's old When really, It shouldn't be about age.
15
And it should be about maturity.
16
Wisdom.
17
Growth.
18
experience these things.
19
And, you know, age doesn't automatically correlate to these things.
20
And, you know, in many cases it does.
21
But not always.
22
and There's so many things that I'm interested in.
23
You know, I want to get good at piano.
24
I want to read more books.
25
I wanna Start getting good at guitar.
26
I want to I don't know, I want to build a business.
27
I want to build up this channel.
28
I want to do calisthenics.
29
I want to learn all the languages.
30
I want to travel the entire world.
31
And it's like, Feeling this, It's...
32
It's coming from the sense of like...
33
Not having.
34
and wanting to like continuously go for it and Also, the sense of comparison, especially with social media,
35
like you see people online who are your age or younger than you or slightly older than you or whatever, And they're living these insane lives.
36
And obviously, social media isn't an accurate representation.
37
or at least not an accurate representation of what everyone's life is like.
38
But still, like there's this sense of either like FOMO or desire.
39
to experience those things. And...
40
Ultimately for me, I don't feel this as much anymore.
41
But seeing that that post on Instagram it reminded me of how how I used to feel so often Like...
42
I wasn't doing enough.
43
And I had to become everything at once I had to Do all this stuff just so I could feel fulfilled.
44
or feel worth something. And honestly...
45
That's - it's not a good - it's not a good - I don't know.
46
Way to think.
47
And even now, I still want to be ambitious.
48
I still want to do all these things.
49
I haven't lost that interest or desire.
50
But it's become less about First of all, it's become less about having to do it all now.
51
and also has become Less about.. proving something.
52
trying to prove something to someone else, or trying to have this certain title.
53
or trying to be seen as someone who is young and successful or something like that. And...
54
That's great.
55
Sounds fun.
56
Sounds awesome.
57
but also It's not...
58
Thank you.
59
It's not the thing to chase.
60
You don't chase the title.
61
or the ideal or that thought of being that thing But it's something that like...
62
If you happen to become that, It wasn't from...
63
Wanting that identity, but it's from the genuine desire to become something or to learn or that curiosity You know? And...
64
What's weird is...
65
Even though I'm young It feels like you're running out of time. And that sounds dumb.
66
It sounds silly.
67
Like, okay, Like from someone's perspective, who's older and who has more life experience, they look at you and think,
68
"Okay, you're silly." Like, how could you be worried about running out of time?
69
You're so young.
70
And I've talked about this before, but still, you feel like this sense...
71
of scarcity in your life.
72
Like...
73
You've been waiting.
74
Maybe it's because you're so young.
75
that like when you're a kid you're growing up but then once you get to this age
76
where you have a shot at doing something interesting or different
77
but you haven't done it yet or you're waiting or you're not sure what to do You feel this sense of worry.
78
or like you need to rush into something so you can feel like you're fulfilling your life, or you're doing something worthwhile.
79
Thank you.
80
Maybe that's why maybe that's like the pinpoint feeling because you're at this point where
81
where you feel like you should be doing something because you're young but you're not.
82
So you feel like You need to...
83
Do everything or you feel like you need to like overcompensate
84
for past years or past things that you haven't done or that you just want to do.
85
and you know, thinking from his perspective of scarcity is not good, you know?
86
You want to be...
87
Content with what you have and where you are.
88
and not too much, not 100 % in the sense that you don't want better, But you can't.
89
Get too caught up.
90
in the in the idealization of some...
91
perfect life.
92
or some life that is full of excitement and new experience constantly.
93
And really that life doesn't It doesn't really exist.
94
At least Not.
95
Not forever, you know?
96
No life is like that all the time. But...
97
It's just interesting.
98
I don't think I'm the only one who feels this way.
99
You know, like...
100
Surely everyone has, at least young people, have this sense of of desire to, you know, Do something.
101
You know, be ambitious.
102
or try to accomplish something interesting. And there's this...
103
Pressure that you feel Because you're young. Because like...
104
It's that point where you feel like if you are successful when you're young, that is when it's the most impressive.
105
But also, weirdly enough, there shouldn't be pressure.
106
Because if you fail when you're young, then that's like...
107
literally the best time to fail because you have so much time ahead of you or at least supposedly.
108
Of course, we don't really know, how much time we have, but that's also another factor to consider.
109
But Wanting to do everything at once, wanting to become everything at once, wanting to, you know, be of skill.
110
And You know, having all these desires but not acting on it. is the worst thing.
111
And that is what kind of...
112
brings upon the negative feeling. Because...
113
You want so much.
114
out of yourself or out of your life but you don't see it, or you're not trying to get it.
115
And It kind of.. creates this cycle of despair.
116
where you see what you want But.
117
You can't Get yourself.
118
to try and get it.
119
And because you want so much, you don't end up getting any of it because you spread yourself too thin.
120
Or you think about all these things And you end up ultimately not making progress in any of those sections of
121
the way I guess you desire your life to be.
122
So And I guess what I've learned is more so...
123
that first of all, There's time.
124
There is time.
125
And not everything should or has to be done at once.
126
and the timing probably isn't right.
127
You know?
128
Like for me, I've realized that more and more among God's timing.
129
I'm trying to trust in that and see See what that is and tune into that.
130
And realizing that certain things will work out better If you don't start now,
131
and if you start later.
132
And you can't time that But it's just this idea of...
133
knowing that certain things that I wanted After time passed, I realized I didn't want it where I realized that starting at that time was probably the better decision.
134
or the better outcome.
135
And you can't know for sure.
136
but it's sort of just this feeling. of...
137
of kind of.. comfort in knowing that.
138
And that doesn't mean you shouldn't start.
139
That doesn't mean you should just continue to wait.
140
because you don't know when the perfect time is.
141
Right? But...
142
It's also like you shouldn't worry.
143
so much about the fact that you haven't started So, It's kind of like...
144
This weird loop that you have to get yourself out of where You know, you haven't quite started. But...
145
The time, there is going to be a time.
146
You don't want to wait for that time.
147
You don't want to try to predict that time. But you kind of...
148
Can't be Trying to force it or wait for it.
149
It's weird.
150
It's hard to describe.
151
But for me, I think I'm in this sort of golden stage of my life. where things...
152
They're coming together.
153
And It's slow and it's fast.
154
And it's everything in between.
155
And I just have to really genuinely take it one day at a time.
156
because So many things switch just in one day.
157
And I don't even remember yesterday.
158
What happened yesterday?
159
I don't know.
160
So much stuff happened today.
161
So much stuff happened yesterday.
162
I can't recall it.
163
And all of it was important, all of it was necessary.
164
But Because it was so much, I just have to go right to the next day.
165
And there's a lot of things like I didn't do today.
166
Like I wanted to read today, but I didn't.
167
I probably should have practiced piano more.
168
probably should have, you know, done more exercise or something like that, But...
169
It's this idea of like, okay, You can organize your time.
170
There is enough time. But.
171
It's not worth...
172
always Thinking, thinking about doing it.
173
You know, not worth trying to plan to do it.
174
It's like, There's this...
175
This is sort of weird.
176
kind of kind of block...
177
Or you have to...
178
You have to find this sort of...
179
I don't know if I would call it a balance.
180
But you have to find this clarity.
181
or this trust There's things that you're doing right now and there's things that you want to do.
182
And you can't Try and force everything.
183
But you have to.. in some way let it flow.
184
and You don't want to forget about it either, because then you'll regret it. But...
185
I guess that's where I'm at trying to figure that part out.
186
You know?
187
juggling, wanting to be everything, Versus realizing I don't have to be.
188
And there's enough time to be everything that I want.
189
And also, there's enough time to realize that maybe the things that I want to be now
190
isn't what I want for the future.
191
Of course, I can't predict that.
192
But I've realized that That's what happens. So...
193
It's more about Like.. you can Be everything you want.
194
Really, you can. But...
195
It doesn't have to happen all at once.
196
And also, You don't...
197
It's less about thinking about it.
198
It's more just about...
199
Seeing what comes to you and flowing with that
200
and sometimes it's also like waste the wasted time and all that wasted time is also Kind of...
201
makes you...
202
there's like this threshold where you can only waste so much time before you just kind of like You know, you slap yourself in the face and you're just like,
203
"Okay, I gotta do something." And I think I've passed that point.
204
And it's just like building up this...
205
this sort of progress of like Continuously starting to work harder and harder and doing more and more.
206
and making more and more progress.
207
And really, it's an exponential curve.
208
you know, At the start, it looks like nothing's happening.
209
And towards the end everything increases.
210
And That's not always the case, but...
211
think for me That's certainly What's happened?
212
in many different areas and I don't know what the future holds. But...
213
What I can say is...
214
I do believe that I can become everything that I want to become. And...
215
I don't have to do it all now. But...
216
so long as it is in God's will.
217
then It will happen.
218
Thank you.

Kontext & Hintergrund
Das Video mit dem Titel "I can’t help but want to be everything at once" beschäftigt sich mit den Herausforderungen, die viele junge Menschen empfinden, wenn es darum geht, ihre Ambitionen und Erwartungen zu erfüllen. Der Sprecher reflektiert darüber, wie der Wunsch, "alles auf einmal" zu sein, durch den Druck von sozialen Medien verstärkt wird. Oft führt dieser Vergleich zu einem Gefühl der Unzulänglichkeit und dem Drang, sich ständig verbessern zu müssen, um in der Gesellschaft anerkannt zu werden. Es wird betont, dass Erfolg und Erfüllung nicht notwendigerweise mit dem Alter oder der Anzahl der Aktivitäten verbunden sind, die man unternimmt.
Top 5 Phrasen für die tägliche Kommunikation
- "I want to be so much." – Ich möchte so viel sein.
- "It's about maturity and wisdom." – Es geht um Reife und Weisheit.
- "Social media isn't an accurate representation." – Soziale Medien sind keine genaue Darstellung.
- "I want to travel the entire world." – Ich möchte die ganze Welt bereisen.
- "It's not a good way to think." – Es ist kein guter Denkansatz.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
