シャドーイング練習: Find Your Life's Purpose By Doing This ONE Thing - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

You've all been told two lies growing up.

The first, you never amount to anything.

Maybe you heard it from a parent, a teacher, someone you hoped would believe in you.

And the second lie is, you can be anything you want.

Maybe you heard it from a speaker or from someone in your life.

But the truth is, you can't be anything you want, but you can be everything you are.

Many of us get paralyzed by the pursuit of passion and purpose.

But by the end of this video, you'll know how to find yours.

One of the main reasons you struggle to find your passion

and purpose is because you believe you have to have found it by a certain age.

I meet so many people who say, Jay, I'm 20 years old, should I know my purpose?

Jay, I'm 30 years old, how is it that I don't know my passion?

I'm 40, I'm still figuring it out.

The truth is, it's something that we're constantly collecting and connecting.

We're collecting new experiences, we're connecting them with old ones, and that's what starts to build our passion and purpose.

Many of us feel pressure to find our purpose in our 20s, but many successful people find their stride later.

In his biography, Andre Agassi dropped a bombshell on the world.

The former world's number one tennis player, eight-time Grand Slam champion, and gold medal winner, didn't like tennis.

Agassi was pushed into playing by his father, and though he was incredible at the game, he hated playing it.

The fact that he was tremendously successful and made loads of money didn't matter.

It wasn't his purpose.

But Agassi transitioned his on-court success into his true passion.

Instead of serving aces, he's now serving others.

The Andre Agassi Foundation runs a K-12 college prep school for at-risk youth.

We often think that there's one clear path to purpose.

We often think that someone must have figured it out.

Can I not just use that same formula in my life?

And the truth is there's no one clear way, but there are four paths that you can consider.

Here's what they are.

The first is pain.

So many people who now live purposeful lives found their purpose through pain.

What do I mean by this?

They experienced a pain early on in life.

and they so badly wanted no one to ever experience that pain again that they started helping others get through it.

Maybe you've gone through a particular life event and you'd never wish it on your worst enemy.

Maybe you experienced something at a young age and you hope no one ever has to go through that.

Maybe you overcame a pain.

A lot of you may be survivors.

Maybe you beat a disease and now you want to give other people the strength, the courage, the motivation to do the same.

That's when you're turning your pain into purpose.

This is the second path to purpose.

Number two, potential.

A lot of us have skills, we have mindsets, we have abilities that we're not even sure about, that we're not even aware of.

You have got hidden potential inside of you.

Maybe you have a particular way your mind works around problem solving.

Maybe you've got a really cool skill that you never knew until later on in life when you actually experimented and explored.

So many of us don't sample until later on in life.

The process of sampling is saying, I'm going to try a new skill every weekend for a whole year.

You're now going to test yourself for 52 skills.

I promise you, you're going to see yourself have an innate ability in one or two of them.

A lot of us may test one a year for the next 10 years.

A lot of us may test one over the next 10 years.

The point is it's all a game of odds.

The more chances you take at testing your experiences, testing your skills, the more likely you're quickly going to discover what you naturally have a talent,

potential and skill for.

I remember when I was 18 and I was doing so many different things.

I was doing everything from managing, leading, speaking, organizing and that's when I discovered that I loved learning, teaching and sharing.

It became a part of life ever since 18 and all I then had to do was hone that skill,

develop it, build it, find new ways of challenging myself and it continues to be something I pursue today.

It's as simple as that.

Find out what your hidden potential is by allowing yourself to fail, allowing yourself to make mistakes,

allowing yourself to try as many things as you possibly can over the next 12 months or better than that, over the next 30 days.

Number three is a problem you see in the planet.

Maybe there's something around you, something you see, it may not even be something you've experienced, but it's a challenge you feel pulled to solve,

a cause that you feel called to help.

I know many people who say, I'm struggling to see what's happening to our environment.

I have to help.

I know other people who say, I'm really struggling to see how animals are treated.

I have to help.

There are so many things that we feel called to.

Now, this is often what we think of as purpose, and a lot of us keep waiting for that calling.

We keep wishing for that calling until we do something.

And that's why I often find that the other paths are so useful.

It could come from your own pain.

It could come from your own potential.

And now it can come from an outside problem or an outside pain that, like I said, you may not have experienced personally, but you feel like you want to help.

And the fourth path to purpose is platform.

As we just discussed in the case of Andre Agassi, he was able to use the platform that he'd built in order to have a positive impact.

I meet and speak to

so many people who feel like they've wasted the last 10 to 20 years of their life chasing a career, chasing a title, chasing a promotion,

and now they feel like it's been worthless.

And the truth is, it isn't.

It isn't.

Any experience you have, anything that you've achieved up until now can be used.

It's a platform that you stand on that can be used to have a positive impact in the world.

Don't downplay your experience.

Don't downplay the skills.

Don't downplay all the work you've done.

No matter what age you are, no matter where you are in your life, you can use everything you've built, everything you've learned in order to serve and help other people.

Now, one of the biggest questions I get is, Jay, how do I actually discover my potential?

How do I actually discover my skill?

How do I actually discover my passion in order to help others with it?

Sometimes you're just struggling to find that direction.

I want to give you an exercise

that I want you to do with me right now that will help you discover it in the next few moments.

What I want you to do is create four lists.

The first list is what you have a skill in but no passion.

There may be something that you're pretty good at.

Maybe you're naturally good at numbers.

100

Maybe you're a great editor.

101

Maybe you're really good at understanding people's behavior.

102

But maybe it's something you're not passionate about.

103

This is likely what you actually do for work.

104

A lot of our jobs and a lot of our work is based on things that we're actually good at, but we may not actually enjoy,

105

and I want you to make a list of the three things that exist in that category.

106

The second list I want you to make is things that you have no skill in, but you do have a passion for.

107

Maybe there's something that you're like, oh, I love photography, but I'm a terrible photographer, right?

108

I absolutely love art, but I know nothing about buying and selling art.

109

What is something that you're curious about? that you're passionate about but you don't already have a skill in.

110

This is something that becomes something you can learn and build upon.

111

Now the third list I want you to make is something that you have no skill and no passion in whatsoever.

112

This is a list of things where you're like, I'm not good at it and I don't like it, I don't enjoy it, I want nothing to do with it.

113

Hopefully this is something in the future that you'll be able to outsource.

114

in the beginning, it's something you have to just get on with, just make happen.

115

And you get it.

116

This is not something you want to do forever, but it may be something that you need to learn in the short term.

117

Now, what we want to do with these three lists is that we want to use them to populate the purpose box, which is skill and passion.

118

Your purpose is not just something that you're passionate about.

119

It's not just something that you're excited about.

120

It's something that you're actually really good at.

121

I think this is something that's often missed in the conversations around around finding passion and finding purpose.

122

We think, oh, as long as I love it, and as long as I like it, and as long as it's meaningful, then that's a purpose.

123

Well, the truth is that unless we get really strategic, really diligent, really focused about it, it will always remain a hobby.

124

It will remain a nice thing that we do.

125

There's an incredible quote that I love from Martin Luther King

126

that says that people who love peace need to learn to organize themselves as well as those who love war.

127

This is one of my most important and deep beliefs

128

that sometimes those of us that love goodness and love positive frequencies can be quite unorganized.

129

We can be kind of wishy-washy and woo-woo, but actually being strategic and focused allows us to build something that has genuine impact.

130

So with your first list, which is skill but no passion, ask yourself, how could you become passionate about that skill?

131

What is something that you could do to make it more meaningful?

132

How could you allow yourself to get excited about it, even if it's something you're not currently excited about?

133

All of a sudden, you're pushing that into the main box that we want to be in.

134

Now I want you to look at the next list.

135

No skill but passionate about.

136

Again, like I said, it could be photography.

137

Book that photography course.

138

Get a friend who's a wedding photographer or an events photographer to show you around.

139

Go and shadow someone for the day.

140

Who's someone in your life that could help you learn that skill, introduce you to a new trade? all of a sudden you're now pushing that skill into this box as well.

141

You're moving into the purpose space.

142

And finally, look at this list.

143

Something you have no skill and no passion for, but maybe you need it right now.

144

Maybe you just started your own business, maybe you got a little side hustle going on.

145

How are you going to do the things you may not even enjoy or love or be good at

146

in order to help you push in that direction?

147

These three lists are a great place to start when trying to discover your hidden potential.

148

I think one of our biggest challenges around our conversations of purpose

149

and passion is that they're all about what we do and not how we think about what we do.

150

They're about what we're doing rather than who we're being.

151

They're about how we act rather than how we think and feel about how we choose to act.

152

I want to share a case study with you to explain that.

153

Amy Wrasniewski and her team at the Yale School of Management

154

went out in search for what they believed was the most difficult job in the world.

155

Now, the most difficult job in the world that they found in around 2019 was to be a hospital cleaner.

156

They believed that was the most difficult job job.

157

The job included cleaning floors, toilets, plates, bathrooms, bed sheets, everything else.

158

They had to clean up after people used those things and clean up after people even passed away.

159

It was an extremely difficult job.

160

So they went and interviewed these cleaners.

161

Now these cleaners in their own words described themselves as low skilled labor.

162

They said we clean floors, toilets, plates etc etc they then continued to interview these cleaners

163

and they found a whole new group of cleaners who described themselves as healers

164

and as carers these healers worked the same hours as the

165

cleaners they worked in the same hospitals as the cleaners they

166

had the same shifts the same pay the same bosses

167

but some saw themselves as cleaners and some saw themselves as healers So they asked him why?

168

The healers replied, because we believe cleaning is integral to the healing journey of the patient.

169

If the hospital room is cleaner, people feel better about what they're going through.

170

If their space is cleaner, their family spends more time with them.

171

It is integral and critical to how they feel.

172

Amy Brzeznewski and her team coined the term job crafting.

173

Where your job wasn't about what you did every day, but how you felt about what you did every day.

174

There's an incredible statement from one of my favorite authors, Wayne Dyer, where he said, When we change the way we look at things,

175

the things we look at change.

176

I challenge you today to look at your work differently.

177

To look up from your phone, to look up from your laptops, your iPads, to look beyond your screen, to look beyond your spreadsheets, your PowerPoint presentations, whatever it may be,

178

your keynotes, and ask you, who does your work positively impact?

179

We get so caught up in the day-to-day that we forget that what we create improves the life of someone out there.

180

And when we reconnect with that feeling, we're changing the way we look at things, Even if we can't change the thing itself.

181

Right now or this year.

182

And remember, your passion is for you, your purpose is for others.

183

When you use your passion in the service of others, it becomes a purpose.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
