Pratica di Shadowing: deen vs dunya - how to detach from this world - Impara a parlare inglese con i video
Creazione lezione...
1
Hello, my beautiful family, and welcome back to another YouTube video.
2
So, we are currently in the last 10 nights of Ramadan.
3
I don't know why it's been so hard for me to talk lately.
4
Like, I am literally starting a podcast.
5
Why can't I talk?
6
I have wrote down all the points that I want to speak about, but it has just been so hard for me to get on a camera and talk about the way that I feel, talk about the things that I'm thinking.
7
I don't know what it is, and I'm just mentally not in it for some reason.
8
But I have committed to making this video and I asked you guys what you wanted me to cover.
9
And one of the main things was deen versus dunya.
10
Now, what does deen versus dunya even mean?
11
So the word deen essentially means faith in, I don't know if it's Arabic, but deen is kind of like a way that Muslims call faith.
12
And dunya is relating to the world.
13
So we always reference things like don't chase after the dunya because when you are chasing after this worldly life so much,
14
you tend to lose yourself at times and you have to come back to Dean to find God, right?
15
So that means when God takes us through moments of our life where sometimes he gives us everything that we want, but we lose connection with him.
16
That's often a sign of not success because you are so caught up in this worldly life that you forget about God,
17
but then things go wrong and all of a sudden you're back calling to God.
18
This is not everyone.
19
This is just kind of the reference to if you get caught up so much in this world, you will lose yourself.
20
And we've all been there.
21
We have all been there at a time in our life where we prioritize things, where it is money, it's relationships.
22
Maybe you feel lonely and it's overtaking your life.
23
Or you are not satisfied with where you're currently at to the point where you are just so unhappy with everything.
24
And you've kind of accepted like that's your fate or you aren't driven or ambitious in discipline.
25
Discipline is something that falls under deen, okay?
26
If you look at the five daily prayers in Islam, the main concept around it is discipline.
27
It's sticking to those times, showing up at those times every single day.
28
And so when you look at faith as one with this world, instead of separating deen versus dunya, you can finally find that peace and balance in your life
29
and I definitely feel like I have approached it in an amazing way to where I don't feel separate from it anymore.
30
Because yes, there's so many times where you can get caught up in this worldly life, or it could even show through your character, or when people test your patience.
31
Are you going to remove the ego, calm yourself down, fear God, and think about him in every single situation to the point where you're like, okay, this is just dunya,
32
let me be so calm and aware of myself right now that I'm going to think about Dean.
33
Because essentially when you're thinking about Dean instead of Dunya, you are also thinking about the hereafter.
34
You're thinking about the next life.
35
And why do we say the next life, right?
36
Why don't we focus on this life?
37
Because this life is so imperfect.
38
You have to think about what is going on in the world today.
39
Is this what is destined for us?
40
Is there not a hereafter?
41
Because this life, it can't be the final destination.
42
Whether or not you believe in faith, you can't accept that it's a final destination.
43
Why?
44
Because it's so imperfect.
45
There's too much good.
46
There's too much evil.
47
And there has to be an afterlife where the people
48
that did good deeds are going to get into the higher ranks of a heaven or whatever you want to think of.
49
And the people that are extremely evil, there has to be a place where it's, as harsh as it sounds, eternal punishment.
50
Like there's no way that this can be the end life forever.
51
And so when you start to think of a hereafter, you're consistently thinking about, okay, is there a blessing in my work?
52
Is it pleasing to God?
53
Am I doing everything to the best possible ability that I can be as a person of faith?
54
Am I doing that every single day?
55
And so when you start to look at it in a, I am striving for the hereafter versus I am striving for this life.
56
But let me, let me point something out.
57
When you are striving for the hereafter, it's about what you do on this earth, right?
58
That is going to get you into the hereafter.
59
That also means it's going to come down to your work ethic
60
and what is your mission on this earth
61
and i hear a lot of especially it's very apparent in the muslim community
62
because they kind of accept
63
that you know this world is just a test like we
64
don't have to strive hard we don't have to do all these things
65
because you know it's just dunya like we shouldn't care about it we're just like for the next life especially
66
when it comes to money you're telling me
67
that god doesn't want muslims to make money to give back to people need to go
68
and strive and build businesses that can help impact so many people's lives, that can build schools, that can help fund communities.
69
And that's where a lot of this Dean versus Dunya kind of gets mixed up because it's like, you know, don't strive for the Dunya too much.
70
No, turn Dean and Dunya into one thing.
71
Make your work a blessing that is going to help you strive for the hereafter.
72
And that's how you kind of have to shift your perspective
73
of like your day-to-day should be with the thought of God is watching my every single move, my time, my energy, the way that I speak to people,
74
my actions, the things that I consume on a day-to-day basis.
75
All of these things are going to impact my hereafter.
76
The way people sit and scroll on social media, and we're all guilty of wasting time, but that time is so precious.
77
Is that not a form of giving into dunya so much?
78
Is that not a form of this worldly life, of getting so distracted?
79
And I really believe we're kind of getting off topic here because I have many points that I want to cover.
80
I don't know how long this video is going to be, but there's a lot happening in the world right now.
81
And I haven't really spoken about politics in a long time.
82
And it's not even politics.
83
Okay.
84
I actually heard someone say it's not politics.
85
It's just standing up for justice, standing up against the oppressor.
86
That's what you're standing up for, right?
87
So if we're talking about things like Iran, Palestine, speaking out against Israel, speaking about the U.S government, right?
88
All these things, right?
89
Standing up against the oppressor.
90
And when you're consuming all these things online, what it's essentially doing to yourself is making you feel hopeless.
91
You feel so much empathy for people and you can't really do much.
92
And then you go on about your day, like everything's normal.
93
And if you consume that every single day, do you not think that it's going to have an impact on you?
94
You know, I didn't actually know in Islam, someone correct me if I'm wrong I've heard
95
that it's like not allowed to show pictures of people
96
that have like passed essentially and whenever the whole Palestine situation happened
97
and it was like it's I mean still is bad
98
but like pictures and everything were being posted and you see these pictures
99
and it essentially makes you feel so low in yourself
100
and you don't have any drive in life
101
because you're consuming all these things
102
and then at the back of it you're also consuming
103
so much content to where it's like you see lavish lifestyles on Instagram and then you see people at war.
104
You see people that can't eat and then you see people
105
that are doing these massive food hauls or the same vice versa when it comes to having things in life, right?
106
You see all these things that feel very dystopian.
107
Your brain is not able to process these things.
108
Like this is not how as humans we are supposed to function.
109
And that's not saying to not consume these things, But when it becomes a significant part of your life, you start to feel a bit more drained.
110
And, you know, I would find that happening to myself.
111
And sometimes when I still get into these moments where I get so consumed into it, and then I realize you feel so low.
112
And then I started diving into something where it was, this guy was talking about how the distraction that social media has is
113
so intentional by the people of power to make you feel hopeless, to make you be distracted, to take you away from your purpose,
114
to take you away from having more drive or motivation in your life
115
because they know that if you're consistently consuming all these things that are constantly making you feel this immense amount of dopamine,
116
it's going to make your small tasks throughout the day feel so mundane and hard.
117
And that's why being aware of these things
118
and also realizing what the government
119
or what the higher people of power in this world are trying to do is to have a spiritual attack on you.
120
And what does that mean by spiritual attack?
121
It means by taking your focus, taking your attention, taking your drive in life.
122
And that's why it's so important to look at Dean and Dunya as this thing of like, I need to find my mission here.
123
So whether that is helping people in need, it doesn't mean you need to be a social media influencer.
124
That's not what I'm saying.
125
I'm saying you need to find your mission, your drive in life.
126
It should always tie back to god What are you doing
127
in this world to leave an impact to help people in need?
128
And then it's going to make you have even just more ambition in your life
129
And maybe the current job or the current thing
130
that you're doing in your life It doesn't feel like that
131
that doesn't mean it's going to feel like
132
that forever I wasn't at a point where I was
133
so sure in myself of what I wanted to do It took time It took being in jobs
134
and roles and doing things
135
that I didn't want to do to lead me To being clearer in what my mission actually is
136
And so you have to go through trials of your life where you fail
137
But you have to think of it as this is still a part of my mission
138
because it's just helping me figure out What i'm actually here to do in this life
139
and it's also going to be a continuous journey It's going
140
to be forever evolving like there's going to be times Where you might do one thing
141
and you'd love it and then it's like, okay I want to evolve on this
142
and continue growing It's going to be a forever evolution and you have to look at your life in this way
143
but really tapping into what am I here to do on this earth
144
and understanding that God has put you here for a reason.
145
And it's not like you don't have a mission.
146
It's just sometimes you are so distracted
147
that you can't even focus on the small tasks that bring you clarity in your life.
148
And so all of this ties under Dean versus Dunya because your attention, your focus is essentially Dunya as well that is taking you away from Dean
149
and you have to look at it in this way.
150
And so I know I just kind of rambled on
151
but like that's how I kind of view Dean and Dunya right
152
and so now I want to get into why I'm even credible to be speaking about this topic
153
because I know a lot of people just come on here
154
and speak stuff
155
so me giving up something for the sake of God for
156
example let's let's go to like I don't like continuously mentioning the fact
157
that I like deleted all my content like it's just you
158
know it's in the past whatever right deleting all my content right and starting all over, putting on the hijab.
159
There are so many times where I still think my life would not be as difficult if I didn't wear the hijab.
160
And that's just being honest.
161
It's being raw and honest because I think a lot of people think
162
that I earn more money because of an opportunity that I created with Gymshark in terms of like building out modesty,
163
which thank God it is an amazing opportunity and we're still building it out,
164
but I lost money because the things that I could sell with my body is just insane versus being fully covered up.
165
And I think that a lot of people don't think that I gave up that much.
166
Not that I didn't give up that much.
167
That was the one thing, right?
168
But I want to talk about something that I've kind of kept private between me and God for the past like three,
169
four years, really since I started my journey with understanding Islam and zakat, right?
170
And zakat is charity.
171
I donate half of my earnings.
172
That's not even within taxes like I donate because I believe
173
that it helps me detach from this world and I am saying this
174
because I I want to make it apparent that like I Could have
175
so much more liquid cash than I do now
176
if I would have held on to that money
177
But I donated half of my earnings because I know
178
that it's going to come back full circle And put more blessing in my work and i'm not saying that like, you know you should go donate all of it because there's been times where I'm like, should I have donated that much?
179
Because I have costs and I have all these things that I need to make sure that I'm able to pay.
180
But then there's times where I'm like, you know what?
181
It'll come back.
182
Like money always comes back if I give it for the sake of God.
183
And so having this mindset that really helped me detach from this world,
184
like truly detached from this world is by donating your money.
185
Like honestly that's probably the one thing that I don't really have
186
that close of a connection to is money
187
because our life is not promised our life is not promised
188
so holding on to something and feeling so attached to something
189
that is given to me by God he can give me
190
so much more oh my goodness
191
if I think about how God has changed my life overnight my parents wanted me to continue going to college
192
and that's when I had dropped out because I was like you know what I I don't want to go to college.
193
I don't want to be, you know, I think my dad wanted me to be like a physician's assistant or something.
194
And it's just not, it's not what I wanted to do.
195
Like I love learning, but I went against my parents and I pursued social media and it didn't make sense.
196
Didn't even make sense to me.
197
I put myself in extreme debt and was fearful.
198
I was very fearful that I wasn't going to make it and stuff, but God changed my life in an instant.
199
And so I know now that like, if I am so attached, I'm going to end up losing myself.
200
And I think that's how you have to approach life is
201
like you can't attach yourself to these things whether it's money Relationships this perception of this like perfect life.
202
What is a perfect life?
203
What is success?
204
You have to think of what is success success is being as close to god as possible
205
And when you feel like you are chasing after this world
206
so much you have to step back Reconnect with prayer truly
207
reconnect don't just like go through prayer in the motions reconnect with the quran or the holy book of your faith
208
It's god's words literally speaking to you and you know, it's crazy.
209
Sometimes we wonder why god isn't blessing us Are you praying?
210
Are you reading the holy book of your religion?
211
Are you giving back in charity?
212
Are you being a disciplined individual?
213
Like you have to ask yourself these things
214
and then you can't wonder why god isn't blessing you And
215
so I know I just really went on a rant here I talked about dean
216
and daniel what it means why i'm kind of like, you know I think I'm validated to speak on this topic
217
because I just I don't feel
218
so attached to this world there are times where I recognize
219
myself where I'm like okay I need to work on this
220
because I am not perfect at all all of us have things
221
that we need to work on
222
but it's to a point where I'm like okay I need
223
to I need to fix this in my life especially
224
when it comes to things like business or your work ethic right
225
that is Dean as well let's talk about arrogance and ego oof now this is a big one.
226
Something that I really used to struggle with is, I wouldn't say arrogance.
227
I've never really been a person to have arrogance.
228
I've always had respect for people, especially people that, you know, don't have as much and work a normal job.
229
And I'm talking more about the service industry kind of thing.
230
Like I've always had just utmost respect for people.
231
But when it comes to ego, there's definitely times in my life where I've had a massive ego of thinking that things are promised to you,
232
essentially, when God can take away everything from you.
233
And you can't ever have ego.
234
Always have to remind yourself that what God gives you, he can also take from you.
235
And we are never better than anyone, especially when it comes to religiousness.
236
Is that even a word?
237
I hope it is.
238
Because it's very prominent within religious communities, is people will go to the mosque, or go to the church, or read Quran, and you know,
239
do extra prayers, and it seems like it's just this really religious person, but their soul is just, it's not kind, it's not warm,
240
and I think that actually ruins a lot of religion for people, is because they have experienced or encountered interactions with people that,
241
you know, do all these kinds of religious things, but then don't actually follow it in their character.
242
And so that is something
243
that a lot of us as a community need to check ourselves in the way that we treat people and also judgment.
244
Oh my, judgment is probably the worst thing.
245
If a person is doing something in public and it could be considered a sin, right?
246
Why is it that that person gets attacked for what they're doing in public
247
when so many people are doing so much worse probably in private?
248
It's something that I've realized whenever I was, you know, before I put on hijab and I kind of had this, you know, negative connotation to Islam because of the culture.
249
I was like, these people are so judgmental, so judgmental.
250
And their souls are so dark sometimes.
251
Like, where are the true people of faith?
252
And it's because so many people have this ego and arrogance that they are like some higher being because they're religious.
253
I am not higher than anyone or more religious than a person who doesn't wear hijab.
254
There's so many people that aren't practicing faith, but that are kinder souls.
255
So having this arrogance and ego doesn't make you a more righteous person.
256
So it's like, I don't understand how a lot of us don't have the awareness.
257
And it's just, it's honestly sad.
258
Yeah, it's just it's just a different level of arrogance, especially when people get money They start to have more ego more arrogance more expectation.
259
Oh my goodness Expectation having expectation over people in general.
260
It doesn't even matter.
261
It doesn't even matter about money having expectations over people Never expect anything from anyone only expect from your creator.
262
That's it.
263
Do not put Too much trust into people.
264
Oh, that is my next point.
265
Oh my gosh people
266
relationships humans a lot of people don't realize
267
when you are loving a human more than your creator do
268
you not think that's like that's a form of putting a person before god
269
when you are relying on people before god like god speaks about connection yes connection love people all these things
270
but you are going to a person who god has created
271
for help you're not going to your creator the one
272
that made you the one that created the heavens and the earth
273
but you're going to a person thinking that this person's going to solve your problems, that is also Dean versus Dunia.
274
And going to a person, yes, can help.
275
Asking for advice, asking for guidance, but after you have gone to your creator, and we're gonna touch on loneliness, because last year in New York,
276
I was the loneliest I have ever been in my life.
277
But I kind of did that to myself, to be honest.
278
I literally isolated myself out there, thinking that I needed to run away from everyone.
279
And, you know it was a terrible decision
280
but it's fine i lived i learned and i can speak about it now
281
because i'm at a point where i am still alone
282
but i don't feel the same kind of loneliness i'm more
283
content within myself i'm more finding love for my alone time all these things before i put
284
so much emphasis on that i was lonely
285
because people around me were getting married or everyone is having kids
286
and it's like oh my gosh am i supposed to be doing this people are asking you know
287
when When are you going to find a partner?
288
Like, when are you going to get married?
289
You know, all these things.
290
And it's so apparent, especially in cultures that are, you know, maybe Arab or Hispanic or even white culture too.
291
It's like, are you getting married soon?
292
You know, are you having kids or like your time is running out?
293
And it can become this thing where it just is so apparent in your mind.
294
And then you try, okay?
295
You try, you try.
296
And then you realize, am I settling?
297
I am literally settling.
298
I am providing for myself or I am, you know Working on myself and this person who is coming into my life has not been working on themselves Or,
299
you know, this person needs to be bringing something to my life
300
that is going to be of benefit Whether
301
that is compassion care love all these things
302
But I don't want a person who's going to come into
303
my life who is not A disciplined individual who is not ambitious who is not, you know Striving for more in their life or focused in their craft
304
and so when you are put in a situation
305
where you are listening to all this outside noise
306
and you then think it's your reality where you do need
307
that to happen you do need to get married you do
308
need to have kids then you're like okay rushing into it
309
and then you find yourself in situations that you should not be in
310
because god really wants you to be on a alone chapter
311
so you can build who you are
312
and not make a decision based off of what other people want you to do
313
and that's what's so apparent in communities it's like people get married young
314
and then they get divorced or people get married
315
and then they end up feeling more lonely in themselves
316
because they are with the person who does not make them feel whole
317
or seen or loved and it's like do not allow society to pressure you into things
318
and i am not a person who is like you know women shouldn't get married
319
or have kids and all these things one day god willing i want
320
that for myself but i'm also at a point in my life where i do not attach to it anymore.
321
I used to attach myself to it.
322
I used to make it the very first thing on my mind.
323
And y'all, when you are in a situation in life where you want something, you can't consistently think about it all the time or try to force it into your life.
324
Otherwise, you are going to push it further and further away.
325
I posted something on TikTok and I was talking about going through a lonely chapter in life.
326
And sometimes you have to recognize
327
that God is going to take you through a lonely chapter in life
328
and when you're in this lonely chapter you have to be incredibly aware
329
that it's literally placed by god for a reason it's not
330
here to make you sad to make you isolated to make
331
you alone it's here for you to truly develop your character
332
and look within of where you can evolve and grow as a person
333
and so when you approach life in that way
334
that god is taking you through a chapter for a reason again connecting to dean not dunya
335
because dunya is highlighting the things that are materialistic, like marriage, kids, all these things.
336
Yes, it's a blessing, but it's also materialistic things.
337
And so I know it's kind of crazy to call kids materialistic things, but it is.
338
That's why God also says your children are one of the biggest tests
339
because every single thing in this life is a test.
340
And that's the difference between the deen and the dunya.
341
It's like the deen is like trusting in God's plan for you, trusting in his time for you.
342
And also it's about shifting your mindset.
343
I also like listen to a lot of podcasts on this topic because it's It's about your state of mind, right?
344
So if you want money in your life, you can't start thinking, you know, oh my gosh, I'm never gonna make money or the world is like falling apart and like,
345
you know, I'm going to be successful and all these things or, you know, I haven't even started or I haven't done anything or I'm this certain age and, you know, all these things, you're thinking all these things in your mind, you're pushing it all away.
346
You're pushing money away with these thoughts.
347
You have to start shifting your mindset as I will attract money into my life.
348
I will attract an amazing partner who is loyal, kind, hardworking into my life.
349
I will attract children and all these things into my life.
350
I will attract the career, whatever it is into my life when God wants to put it into my life.
351
What is that?
352
Dean, dunya, you are relying on Dean.
353
You are relying on God's timing for you.
354
And just know that God, again, has created you on this earth for a reason.
355
He has given you so many things in the past that you've asked for.
356
Why is he not gonna give you this?
357
Why has he brought you this far just to leave you this far?
358
Okay, so you have to shift your mindset.
359
Don't become obsessed about the thing
360
that you want in this world become obsessed with developing your relationship with god
361
So then you will start to see why he is making you wait
362
and then where you can involve and grow So when
363
that blessing does come you are ready to receive it And
364
so that's the shift that you have to have in your mind
365
And so that's something that I changed in myself
366
and i'm like all these opportunities All these blessings are coming into my life
367
because I finally put my trust into god I stopped thinking about all these things and making it the main priority.
368
I started working on myself.
369
Work on your craft, work on your side hustles.
370
Do things that truly fulfill you.
371
Don't spend your time wasting it, scrolling on social media, talking to all your friends about having pointless conversations.
372
Don't allow gossip into your mind.
373
All these things are distractions from your purpose.
374
And that's all dunya.
375
because your purpose is essentially Dean if you look at it in
376
that way of like my mission here on this earth is to figure out what my purpose is
377
so I can go and do so much impact on this world
378
so then when I do die one day I will look back
379
and think I've done amazing work
380
because I thought of my work as a form of worship
381
I thought of my days as a form of worship my time as a form of worship to please God, because that is what we are here on this earth to do,
382
is to leave a good impact, so we can look back and think, what have we done?
383
And so now that we've covered all these topics, how can you go and do it?
384
How can you have the mindset?
385
How can you change your ways?
386
I always talk about routine, and I'm a very big believer when it comes to signs, like that's a sign from God.
387
Not everything, but when things are apparent, I always reflect and see where I go wrong if it's a situation in my life and I'm like, this is definitely a sign.
388
Or I know this is what I'm supposed to be doing and it always falls down into your routine,
389
sticking to a plan, being very intentional with your days.
390
And by intentional, I mean being focused.
391
That's really what it is, is being focused with your time because your time is precious and not everyone should have access to you.
392
And so I didn't really cover modesty and I don't think I need to cover modesty because hijab,
393
modesty, covering your beauty, it falls under all of this
394
because essentially every single thing that I mentioned kind of comes down under instant gratification.
395
Instant gratification is this urge to have validation.
396
It's a feeling where you feel kind of fulfilled for a small moment.
397
So it could be picking up your phone and watching something funny, for example.
398
That's instant gratification.
399
Someone calling you beautiful, instant gratification.
400
Someone liking your picture.
401
Someone giving you food, instant gratification.
402
Money, instant gratification.
403
And when you delay instant gratification as much as you possibly can,
404
you start to detach from this world and form a stronger relationship with your creator,
405
which then you start to see the world as a test, a true test, and you start living your days as a test.
406
And that's something that I highly recommend you sit with
407
and you think about what are all the ways in your life
408
that you feel as if you are consistently relying on instant gratification.
409
It's very apparent within like modesty.
410
I would say mainly to and success the need to like show success And like don't get me wrong.
411
I love nice things But what are the real things that make you feel whole in life?
412
It's family.
413
It's a good routine fitness your health Having food on the
414
table the first sip of coffee in the morning a nice walk sitting with nature Like these are the things
415
that make you truly feel fulfilled Everything else is you're gonna want the next thing
416
And so I think that's mainly why I focus on charity too, is because it massively delays instant gratification.
417
Yeah.
418
One more thing I'll say about modesty.
419
When you put on the hijab or when you start dressing modestly, the feeling of wanting attention or to be validated or to be looked at, it's not going to go away.
420
It's human nature.
421
It's something as women we love and we crave because that's how God designed us.
422
But when you look at it as I am training myself to control the instant gratification,
423
wanting to be validated, of wanting to be wanted consistently, to focusing, my love will come from the creator of the world.
424
My love will come from myself.
425
And when the person that is ready to come into my life, I will also have maybe a form of validation from that person.
426
But it's in a way that is not going to negatively affect you.
427
Because when you are validated from people that don't have sincere interest in you, in terms of wanting to marry you, or in terms of, you know,
428
truly wanting to love you as a person, then it's empty at the end of the day.
429
It's not going to last long.
430
It's the instant gratification.
431
So you are delaying instant gratification
432
when you are not overly fixating on displaying your beauty or all of these things in the world.
433
And so that's kind of how I look at it because yeah, it's, um, it's, it's kind of like, that's how I think of modesty.
434
I don't think of it as just a hijab.
435
I think of every single thing, success, life, uh, relationships, all these things as forms of instant gratification.
436
Now I'm rambling on, but, um, yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
437
I'm sorry.
438
It's a bit of a rant.
439
I hope you are having an amazing Ramadan
440
and maybe by the time you watch this Ramadan will be ended or Ramadan will have ended.
441
And yeah, I love you guys so much.
442
Let me know what you guys thought about this video or
443
if you want me to do any more topics in the future like this But um, yeah, I will see you in the next video.
444
I'm filming my first ever podcast solo episode tomorrow It's about the why behind the podcast
445
So i'm very excited
446
because I feel like even though this video kind of felt
447
like hard for me to do in terms of talking I
448
don't know why I think you know what it is I'm about to like i'm about to start self-sabotaging
449
because everything is actually going right and thank god
450
and so when things start to go right is
451
when I start to self-sabotage but I'm not going to allow that in my life right now.
452
It's just, I can't even allow it.
453
I've committed so much.
454
So don't self-sabotage when things are going good.
455
It's just a sign that God wants so much more for you and that you are capable of so much more.
456
And so always remember that you have so much purpose in this life, invest into yourself, take care of yourself.
457
Yeah, I love you guys and I'll see you in the next video.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
