4
so how do you do
5
that well figure out a game you want to play you know
6
and then make a plan it's like how do you do
7
that well this is what christ tells his followers in the gospels he says knock and the door will open
8
ask and you will receive seek and you'll find okay
9
so you have a problem you want to be motivated
10
so you have to meditate you have to pray you have to think okay
11
if i could have what i needed to be enthusiastic about working towards it what would that be?
12
And that's a question everyone should ask themselves.
13
It's like, what the hell do you want?
14
What would satisfy you?
15
Well, first of all, you have to ask the question, right?
16
And people don't.
17
They're afraid to for all sorts of reasons.
18
And then you have to accept the answer.
19
And you might think, well, that's impossible.
20
It's no, no. I'll tell you what's impossible.
21
Stumbling forward, depressed, anxious, hopeless, and unmotivated.
22
That's impossible.

27
so here's an example um it's a good example imagine coming home at night after work you do
28
that every day let's say take a stereotypical example
29
that takes you about half an hour to make that transition
30
and so that's about five percent of your life is the half an hour every day
31
that you come home after work five percent of your life
32
so you get 20 things like that right you got your life right
33
so you might think well how would i like things to happen
34
when I came home like what would motivate me to come
35
home what would motivate me to keep working how would I
36
like to be greeted how would I like my kids to react
37
when I walk in the door what would response would I like from my wife
38
so that I feel
39
that the work I did during the day was justified how could I make her happy to see me
40
so that we were pleased
41
when we re encountered each other after a day's separation well you can sit there
42
and think that through
43
if you could admit it to yourself you know probably what you want isn't
44
that unreasonable you might be able to negotiate that with her
45
and then you'd have it and then you'd be motivated it's like
46
dare to dream you know ask yourself what do i want with the presumption
47
that you know if you're not completely blind and deluded and
48
and greedy that you could probably have it
49
and the world wouldn't fall apart just because you got something
50
that you needed you could give yourself that break
51
and you have to find out just like you would from
52
when you're making friends with someone it's like what the hell do you want
53
if i could offer you what you wanted what would it
54
be well i don't know it's like well then the first
55
thing you want is to know what you want there's some place to start you know
56
and you can figure it out and
57
if you aim small enough you can figure it out
58
and then so
59
if you're not motivated you're probably living someone else's dream you're
60
laboring under some false illusion you're tyrannizing yourself you're taking on too much responsibility you're using power
61
when invitation would suffice and you don't have a vision well it doesn't have to be
62
that way you could figure out a game you want to play
63
and invite yourself long and that's you can do
64
that that's how life is constituted
65
so don't think it's impossible it's not impossible i told you what was impossible stumbling miserably forward
66
that's impossible that's for sure all right that's good thank you
67

Pronunciación a tener en cuenta
El hablante usa 25 contracciones y formas reducidas, como you're, don't, you'd. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: presumption /pɹɪˈzʌmp.ʃən/, illusion /ɪˈl(j)uːʒ(ə)n/, negotiate /nəˈɡəʊ.ʃi.eɪt/, anxious /ˈæŋkʃəs/, separation /ˌsɛp.əˈɹeɪ.ʃən/
- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: stereotypical /ˌstɛɹ.iː.əˈtɪp.ɪ.kəl/, unreasonable /ʌnˈɹiːz.(ə)nə.bl̩/, enthusiastic /ɪnˌθjuːzɪˈæstɪk/, negotiate /nəˈɡəʊ.ʃi.eɪt/, separation /ˌsɛp.əˈɹeɪ.ʃən/
Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: stumble /ˈstʌmbəl/, stereotypical /ˌstɛɹ.iː.əˈtɪp.ɪ.kəl/, strive /ˈstɹaɪv/
- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: motivate /ˈmoʊ.tɪ.veɪt/, strive /ˈstɹaɪv/, invitation /ɪnvɪˈteɪʃən/
- /z/ — sonora, no /s/: presumption /pɹɪˈzʌmp.ʃən/, tyrannize /ˈtɪɹ.ən.aɪz/, unreasonable /ʌnˈɹiːz.(ə)nə.bl̩/, enthusiastic /ɪnˌθjuːzɪˈæstɪk/

¿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.
