5
which means foregoing a lot of your pleasures
6
it means a self a self -managing individual is one who has true enjoyment not just pleasure it means satisfaction
7
which is the joy of accomplishments with struggle
8
that's what you're talking about without the struggle there's no sweetness
9
there's no satisfaction it's just accomplishments like being born with daddy's money
10
there's no satisfaction from being born rich the satisfaction comes from the struggle
11
that it comes to get rich and then the rich part is almost beside the point
12
and last but not least is the meaning
13
and i could ask you about the moments of greatest meaning in your life where you find your resilience
14
and your will to live and you're gonna tell me something something painful about your mother almost dying or,
15
you know, a true loss that you've had in your life.
16
You're not going to talk about that week at the beach at Editha.
17
That's not what you're going to tell me about.
18
You're going to tell me about hard things.
19
The truth of the matter is that if you try to avoid suffering in any way, you will avoid your happiness.
20
That's the truth of the matter.
21
And so Alex Hormozzi says that happiness is a scam.
22

23
and he things of happiness as a feeling feelings are just evidence of happiness don't chase a feeling
24
that's insane that's like the smell of my turkey is my
25
thanksgiving dinner no the smell of the turkey is evidence of your thanksgiving dinner look for the protein carbohydrates
26
and fat and strive to get the macronutrients and balance
27
and abundance with a delicious recipe then you'll actually be then you'll have a nutritious meal
28
that will build your body and give you what you actually need
29
and that you'll actually enjoy and find satisfying
30
and even meaningful assuming you get your thanksgiving dinner with the people
31
that you love that's really what it comes down to there's nothing at odds with these ideas of pain
32
and suffering and the best possible life that's full of happiness
33
and that's what we need to understand
34
and that's one of the things by the way
35
that your generation's been lied to that that if you're sad
36
and anxious there's something wrong with you
37
and you got to fix it no are you kidding me i mean this is life if you're not sad and anxious.
38
You need therapy, man.
39
Something's wrong.
40
Now it can be maladapted.
41
You know, clinical depression, generalized anxiety are real diagnosable disorders, and everybody should take their meds if they're taking meds, right?
42
But the truth of the matter is I want it all, man.
43
Bring it on.
44
I want the pain.
45
I want the trouble.
46
I want the challenge.
47
I want the tragedy.
48
I want the grief i want all of it
49
because i want to be happy i think the key thing there is
50
that oftentimes depression
51
which i would say is more of a metaphor for being in a depressed state yeah
52
it's actually just a normal reaction to an abnormal set of circumstances
53
that are incongruent with or a normal set of circumstances normal i mean the truth is
54
that it's very normal for you to have adversity and setbacks
55
and if you didn't have them you wouldn't learn and grow
56
but you have natural emotions
57
which are the proper functioning in the limbic system of your brain saying
58
that these are things that are a threat and
59
that you should work to avoid or manage that's normal fear anger disgust
60
and sadness are the four negative emotions and
61
and you literally have different parts of your limbic system
62
that were developed to process each one of these emotions
63
and they've evolved and persisted
64
because these are are good for you not bad for you you're supposed to feel sadness
65
when you lose someone or something that you love.
66
And the reason that sadness is incredibly uncomfortable is because you need to have an incentive to avoid these losses.
67
But when these losses are inevitable, you understand your life better when you process that emotion.
68
That's the paradox of being fully alive.
69
There's a great early Christian saint named Saint Irenaeus in the second century.
70
And his greatest quote is
71
that the glory of God is a person fully alive the glory of god
72
so in other words to be in god's image is to be fully alive
73
guess what that means lots of misery that means trouble is what
74
that actually means
75
and that's an important understanding of life right
76
i don't want to walk around with a smiley face all the time
77
i want the full experience i want to bring
78
it on man the full monty every single day that's what i want

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
