4
I've been on YouTube it's been about seven years I have grown and I have changed and my channel has changed and I realized that I was being guided in a Direction of motivation in a direction of
5
helping people that are over 60 lead a better life and then about a year ago I realized that I was not only helping people over 60 but I was helping all of us from 18 to 89 to try
6
to find out how to move in life and what things are important and what things are not important
7
and I want you to think about it when you were younger or if you are young right now what goals in life do you think are really important what things in your life do you really think
8
are important well I can tell you from my 86y old eyes and perspective the things that you think are important now if you are young are not exactly the things that you will realize
9
later on in life that are important when I was younger it was all about me in a way it was
10
all about earning a living reaching goals hitting plateaus finding the right person to spend the rest of my life with those are all really a very very important things but
11
each and every step that you make a long the way helps you grow into who you are today I want you to realize no matter how young or old you are the most important thing is to
12
live your life don't just be like the stones that Skip Along the surface of Life be the person that dives in be the person that feels the coolness of the water against your skin that can
13
smell the fresh water or the salt water in the air be that person that lives beyond yourself
14
don't ever forget that it's not all about you as a single mother raising my children it was
15
not all always all about me it was about my children but that all about me became my goal became my passion to be successful and to reach whatever Heights I could in
16
life and once I reached those Heights I looked around at myself and I said is that all there is
17
is that all there is and now that I am older I realize that there is more to life than
18
achieving than money there is more to life than that I can look back now from where I
19
am and understand one of the most important things in life is to live it and by that I
20
mean finding your purpose your passion I had no idea when I started this YouTube channel
21
that this is where I would wind up so it was only a few years ago maybe about 3 years years ago that my channel really started to grow but it was because I was talking about things that
22
were really important to you and to me I was talking about life and the lessons and the things that I have learned in life Embrace each and every day as though it's going to
23
be your last even if you're 18 if you have that fire in your belly and you wake up and you say today what is my purpose how much can I drink of Life today how many people can I help
24
today if you live your life with that goal from the very beginning by the time you reach 40 or
25
50 you will have a very very satisfying life I've often said on this channel that every 10 years I
26
have morphed into something else every 10 years in my life I have either had a different career I've gone in a different direction and with this channel now it's not all about worrying about
27
clicks and how can I make something go viral in my heart it's not all about that it's about
28
helping you so I am sharing whatever I have done in life and whatever experiences I've had in life to try to help you build a better and more purposeful life and as
29
I said before breathe into life every single day be sure that every single day in your life you do something to help someone else whether it's a small smile a
30
a gesture just help someone else feel better about their lives and you will be blessed in
31
return and never forget it's not always all about you as I said it's about your neighbor your friend
32
and it's about finding your purpose in life if you have a skill if you were born with a wonderful
33
skill nurture that skill even whatever it is nurture it and it will grow and it will help you
34
live life because you are using the talents that were given to you when you were born we're all different and we're all unique as I said before but being able to find that purpose and to use
35
that Talent will help you live life now the other day I was feeling kind of down and I was wondering
36
about why I'm here on YouTube and I was wondering at my life Maybe I better just stop and spend more time with my family maybe travel a little bit um enjoy whatever time I have on this Earth left and
37
then I realize that I have found my purpose I accident have found my purpose through YouTube
38
my whole life no matter whatever job or whatever career I had I always wound up to be the go-to person to give advice and I used to ignore uh used to absolutely um irritate my husband so
39
much because people would call me that I worked with and ask me their opinion about various things but I just did what I guess I was meant to do but I didn't realize it was what what I was meant to
40
do I am so passionate about being here and helping each and every one of you lead a
41
more purposeful life so let's not waste any more time find your passion breathe in life every single day help someone in some way use your talents to make the world a better place

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
