1
listen you might be wondering why i look like a detective well it's
2
because i'm trying to figure out why you haven't realized your
3
work yet okay why you are constantly underselling yourself to everyone
4
and everything so recently i was meeting up with my friend
5
and she's a lovely woman she's 20 years older than me
6
and she's such an amazing artist right
7
so she basically she made this like painting and guys the paintings
8
that she makes is
9
so detailed like it's crazy she works on these paintings for months on end came to visit her last week
10
and i was like oh my god like i love your painting the one in the middle
11
that you made now i was like how much is that
12
and she goes like yeah that's a thousand dollars i looked
13
at her i'm like how long did you work on
14
that painting and then she goes like oh i worked on it for nine months okay
15
so you worked on that painting for nine months and you're selling
16
that for a thousand dollars when it's minimum worth ten thousand hundred thousand even
17
and then i looked at her i'm like listen you are
18
underselling yourself i go to art galleries i'm very involved with
19
art listen some of the art i've seen i just question mark okay i know
20
that art is supposed to make you feel something yeah it makes me feel angry like the audacity
21
that some of these paintings have because they're so bad yeah
22
but they're charging such a high fee
23
and every time i walk around there i'm thinking my friend
24
should be here like she should literally be in one of these things
25
and selling her paintings for so much
26
and then i asked her i'm like why do you undersell yourself
27
and then she goes like yeah
28
because you know in this place people that's the only thing
29
they can afford like that's a price they can afford i mean i would love to sell it for more
30
but they can't afford it for more listen my love first
31
of all we're living in a city where there's a lot of wealthy people first of all
32
so that's not true second of all never ever yeah go down in your value
33
because of your environment your painting should have a set price
34
and if your environment cannot meet
35
that price then you change the environment don't go down for anyone
36
because that also makes your paintings look less than they are worth
37
because when i look at your painting i think
38
that should be millions of dollars but
39
when you look at it you undersell yourself listen guys i
40
literally started painting i think a couple of months ago i
41
don't know i work on my paintings for two hours they are
42
so ugly that they're good they're hideous yeah
43
but i am literally thinking in my head you know what
44
i should open an art gallery i should put my paintings you know minimum 100 000 for each painting
45
and i genuinely in my head believe that i can do
46
that this is how delusional i am i am delusional
47
but i get the stuff done
48
and as much as my friend is underselling herself i know
49
you guys are underselling yourself too whether it's in a relationship
50
whether it's in a job whether it's in whatever you're doing i know
51
that you're not realizing who you are and your value and
52
when someone doesn't meet
53
that value you go down in value no hi guys my name is this
54
and welcome back to my channel okay let's get right into it first things first you should influence the room
55
and not just adapt to it i hear this
56
so many times just like i said my friend who is selling her paintings at a lower price
57
because of her environment
58
or i hear my friends say yeah liz i can't find a good guy
59
because this is just how guys are in this country why are you guys acting like once we are somewhere
60
or we've been born in a country or whatever we're like trees
61
and we cannot move you know you don't find someone you
62
like in your country you go look in another country i do not care but you don't just go settle
63
and lower yourself and accept bad behavior because that's just how my environment is
64
or you constantly let people walk all over you
65
because this is how it goes in my culture bullshit you
66
have the power to change things in your life you have the power to move
67
and go for what you actually want
68
but you are the one deciding to settle you should be
69
so powerful when you walk into a room that room becomes more valuable because they have you in it
70
You should be so powerful that when you put your paintings in a room, that room is more valuable because it has your painting in it.
71
Do not undersell yourself to adapt to your environment.
72
If you are here, we do not go down here to just make others feel comfortable.
73
I need you to realize that you matter.
74
Listen, I don't care how someone has made you feel.
75
I don't care whether your parents have made you feel this small.
76
I don't care whether it was a teacher, your culture, your toxic friends your toxic ex i do not care you
77
have the power to make your confidence go back up you
78
have the power right now to believe in yourself again i can sit here all day
79
and tell you that you matter but if you don't realize this and
80
if you don't start acting like you matter nothing will ever
81
change you matter to your loved ones okay you're important you matter to to maybe a stranger on the street
82
that you smile to and then you completely change that stranger's day
83
or life or you gave them a compliment and
84
that completely changed them
85
or made them feel better about themselves you matter you had an impact in this life
86
and you just matter because you're alive
87
and breathing you know how hard it is to survive in this day
88
and age you know like you should just be
89
so proud of yourself
90
because you're still here god still has a bigger plan for
91
you your mission on this earth is still not completed
92
because you're still here there's still things to be done
93
if your mission was completed if if
94
if nothing was about to happen anymore you would not be here another thing is realize
95
that not everyone should have access to you you know how
96
i always say i'm not better than everyone that's true
97
but i also should not sit with everyone some people are
98
not good for you toxic people are not good for you people
99
that drain you are not good for you your valuable your
100
energy is valuable your time is valuable not everyone can sit with you okay
101
energy drainers vampires people
102
that just constantly want something from you they shouldn't be able to sit with you choose your company wisely
103
if you sit with your company and after that you feel
104
so bad you're sitting with bad company times we expand our minds sometimes we learn new things in life
105
and that's why we go to a next level right
106
when we're at that next level consciously we cannot sit with our old friends
107
and you might feel sad because you're like you know what i i vibed with them
108
so well when i was toxic myself
109
but now i can't it's okay it's time for you to move on evolve
110
and let go it's very sad but this happens
111
when you start healing so accept
112
that this is a part of life not everyone is meant to be forever
113
and i will say i don't even believe in meant to be forever i believe
114
that we're meant to evolve and we meet people at those stages in our lives
115
so stop resenting or hating people for it
116
or trying to force a connection
117
when the connection is not there anymore it's okay to move on never doubt yourself
118
because of other people's opinions see when i started out and
119
when i was going viral i saw opinions everywhere i saw
120
news articles everyone saying i'm a narcissist everyone saying i'm a bad person blah blah
121
but i know i'm a good person i know i have pure intentions
122
and i have a good heart
123
so i go to bed knowing who i am okay
124
so those opinions couldn't influence me because i knew who i was
125
and they didn't other people's opinions can make you sad
126
if other people's opinions can make you happy then you're just
127
their little puppet why would you want to be a puppet
128
know thyself know yourself first before you know anyone no one will tell you who you are
129
when you know who you are understand
130
that in life people will perceive you the same way you perceive yourself
131
if you think you're not deserving of certain things other people also think
132
that you're not deserving of those things okay i see women
133
they're like oh my god why do i never get spoiled
134
why does a man never do anything for me blah blah
135
blah you don't think you deserve it you don't think you deserve
136
that treatment i know women that get spoiled i know women
137
that are housewives you know how they think oh they literally think that's a bare minimum.
138
He should spoil me.
139
They, in their head, it's no other way.
140
In their head, this is literally how a relationship works.
141
So for them, they get those type of guy
142
because they don't settle for anything else it's either this way
143
or the highway they don't they don't compromise
144
and be like okay you know what you don't spoil me it's fine we'll still be together whatever
145
and they'd be unhappy no
146
if this guy won't do it another guy will they don't care
147
if i look at the women that don't get spoiled
148
and i talk to them they literally say like yeah but you know
149
it's hard for a man to do all these things
150
and then i see they're so frustrated and unhappy
151
but i told them you know this is the reality you create for yourself it's your mindset you think
152
that it's it's hard for a man to take care of you
153
so you should help so that's what you're creating you see yourself as a confident
154
and valuable woman yeah you will also not be around everyone be everywhere sit with anyone
155
and let them have access to you you will not do
156
that you will not behave that way and other people
157
when they see the way you behave will also not perceive you as insecure they will also look at you
158
and think oh she's confident she has boundaries you know she likes people to respect her
159
so we should respect her people treat you the way you perceive yourself i also need you to realize
160
that you deserve whatever you desire i find it really weird
161
when people say no you know what i feel like i don't deserve that why not are we not on earth
162
are we not suffering enough here already by just being alive why is it
163
that we're literally just souls in a body yeah
164
and we're just living a human experience and then our imagination is
165
so limited we think like oh my god like no i
166
can never be a millionaire why not money is an energy money is not
167
that special why do we think this is only for a certain special kind of people are you not special
168
because you're alive you know what i will say this it
169
is for special type of people it is just for people
170
that think that they deserve it
171
and that's it they don't even need to be talented they don't need to have it all just people
172
that think that deserve the high life yeah are the ones
173
that get it and people that are literally like talented doing everything
174
but they feel like they're not good enough those are the ones
175
that never get it and you are in control of whatever reality you want to create see
176
if right now me right i'm a youtuber i make my
177
own money i take care of myself i spoil my family
178
if tomorrow i want to quit being a youtuber i want to quit helping people
179
and i just want to be married to a wealthy guy i can do
180
that and then i will be in the reality of a housewife i can choose whatever i make of this
181
if tomorrow i decide you know what I don't want to show my face anymore.
182
I just want to be an author.
183
I create books and I'll be an author.
184
New reality, baby.
185
This is how I will jump.
186
And whatever I desire, whatever I want to create will happen.
187
Also realize that people will try to project their own lack onto you.
188
Like they will say like, oh no, you know what?
189
No, I don't think you can do it.
190
Like when I was starting out my social media, right?
191
They're like, you know, you're not that special.
192
Like, I don't think you can do it and stuff.
193
I had literally friends that would tell me that.
194
I don't think you can do it like no you know
195
you should just go for a regular job no honey you
196
can't do it i can i can do whatever i want
197
to do i can be as big as i want to be
198
and as i decide to be
199
but this is how strong of a character you have to
200
have like even though your family your friends they will tell
201
you you can do it you have to tell them you know what that's your opinion
202
and in yourself you say you can you can do whatever you want
203
because i'm telling you baby once they see you going up
204
they will be very quick to pull you down back to
205
our level back to our level then you have to say
206
no i'm creating a new level here you guys rise up
207
to mine you guys are not good enough right now rise up i'm not going down for anyone so realize
208
that you are an unlimited being you are literally a soul
209
in a body having a human experience why do you think
210
that things are so hard to get for you huh so
211
so god put you on this earth to suffer is
212
that what you believe is
213
that what you believe to put you on earth to suffer is
214
that a loving god for you no god wants you to win.
215
Okay.
216
He's rooting for you.
217
He is rooting for you.
218
Now you have to start rooting for yourself.
219
Okay.
220
You just once you realize that.
221
You know what?
222
I'm an unlimited being.
223
Like literally.
224
We're literally flying in the universe.
225
Like with gravity.
226
That's it.
227
Like don't you guys understand how insane this is?
228
And then you think like.
229
You know what?
230
Accomplishing my goals is very hard.
231
what are you talking about to stop the
232
when i achieve this mentality okay i have this mentality of like you know
233
when i get to this goal then i'll be happy when
234
when i lose the weight then i'll go out and socialize
235
or work on my confidence when i start to look better then i'll i'll do this
236
and that listen my love
237
if you don't start now with what you have you will soon come to realize
238
that you never arrive you think
239
that any of this will make you happy no you have
240
to be happy already with what you have right now you
241
have to start becoming happy with who you are right now
242
so when you do evolve that you can stay happy people make the big mistake thinking
243
if i have this amount of money i will be happy then they have
244
that money and they're not happy they're shocked they think Why am I not happy?
245
I thought this was the goal.
246
That was never the goal.
247
The goal was to find peace and happiness already with who you are.
248
And then to evolve.
249
When you don't do this right now, you will be in for a rude awakening.
250
And you will actually go into a big depression when you arrive.
251
Because in life, we never arrive.
252
In life, we never stop learning.
253
In life, we keep evolving.
254
You will realize that, you know what?
255
Nothing can make us happy.
256
Because we are the ones that can make us happy to celebrate yourself
257
when is the last time you looked at yourself
258
and said you know what i love you you did start
259
a great job today i love you i love you for accomplishing
260
that goal i'm grateful for you when is the last time you've ever said
261
that to yourself or do you say
262
that to yourself at all you know you expect yourself to be a robot
263
and a machine
264
and you're like oh i don't have any appreciation i don't
265
have any love do you give it to yourself huh when when is the last time you've You've given appreciation to yourself.
266
When is the last time you thanked yourself for coming here, to coming to this point?
267
When is the last time you thanked yourself for even getting up in the morning and trying again? When?
268
How do you expect other people to appreciate or love you when you can't even do that for yourself?
269
When you can't even look at yourself and say, you know what?
270
I'm proud of you.
271
You did a great job.
272
I love you.
273
How do you expect that love from others then?
274
I need you to realize
275
that you can bounce back from anything you know life has put you through
276
so much so many bad situations life has knocked you down
277
but who's still here you and me are still here we're still here baby and
278
that is literally what you need to realize we can come back from anything you know anything there is nothing
279
that will ever stop us I saw this quote and it said You can strip me of everything I have.
280
I will smile and go get it again.
281
And that is so true.
282
That is literally my mentality.
283
I might, you know what?
284
I'm very grateful for what I have today.
285
But if I don't have it tomorrow, I will go get it again.
286
And maybe even bigger.
287
I'm a hustler.
288
I've always been a hustler.
289
I'm always going to be a hustler.
290
For whatever it is that I want.
291
I will not stop until I get it.
292
hey guys this is the end of the video i hope
293
you guys enjoyed the video i hope you guys learned something
294
and always remember never ever make your value go down for anyone
295
or anything they don't think you're valuable you go find someone else
296
or somewhere else where they do and
297
when your value comes from inside of you
298
and self-belief you don't even care you will not even care who thinks
299

¿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.
