1
I think there's really only one thing separating you from you and the life that you really want to live.
2
I know exactly how it feels to have these big goals and dreams, but I have no clue how to actually reach them.
3
It seems like years keep passing and I make very little progress.
4
Trust me when I tell you I'm not here to waste your time.
5
I've seen a lot of similar videos to this one.
6
They got me inspired for maybe a day and then that motivation went away again.
7
So is there actually a solution to all this?
8
Or are you always going to feel overwhelmed by your goals and your dreams?
9
The video you're watching right now almost didn't get recorded at all.
10
I thought, this idea has already been made.
11
No need for me to waste my time in trying to make my own version.
12
But then I thought, no. This is something I really want to say.
13
This message has actually had an impact on my life.
14
So why would I not say this if I truly believed it could help someone or even change their life?
15
So I've been trying really hard to figure out what it is exactly that prevents me from making progress on something
16
Especially my goals and dreams and I think I figured it out
17
Lack of motivation always seems to be the thing that prevents me from moving forward and that lack of motivation
18
Usually comes from not feeling motivated.
19
I think that's the major flaw
20
I was letting my feelings dictate what I was able to accomplish instead of actually taking action.
21
If I take action on a creative idea, my feelings will normally follow.
22
But if I wait to feel inspired to take action, I usually don't act at all.
23
You can't control when you're gonna feel inspired, but you can control when you're gonna actually start doing something and take action.
24
When it comes to my goals, if I zoom out too far and think about the big picture too much, I don't accomplish anything at all.
25
But when I focus on one thing and accomplish one small thing, I'm able to be productive.
26
That's the key.
27
Taking action first.
28
Not waiting for the perfect moment.
29
Not waiting for motivation to magically show up.
30
Just starting.
31
Because momentum doesn't come from waiting.
32
It comes from doing.
33
Think about it.
34
How many times have you sat around waiting to feel inspired only to waste hours scrolling
35
and procrastinating or convincing yourself that now just isn't the right time?
36
That's the cycle that keeps you stuck.
37
That's the cycle that kept me stuck.
38
But the moment you begin, even when you don't feel like it, something shifts.
39
Your brain kicks into gear and your energy always seems to follow.
40
One small step leads to another.
41
So instead of overthinking, instead of waiting to feel ready, just take one small step.
42
The thing is, I can't tell you exactly what that step is for you, but I think if you thought about it,
43
you could figure out one small thing to do today that would move you in a positive direction.
44
It could even change your life.
45
Because here's the truth, it doesn't have to be perfectly planned out and strategic.
46
It just has to begin.
47
And once you do, the inspiration will come.
48
The energy will follow.
49
It always does.
50
So what is the one thing that's separating you from you and the life you know you want to live?
51
It's taking action.
52
The difference between those who actually create and make things versus those who only dream about creating is taking action.
53
It's taking that first step.
54
The sad truth is, most of you watching this right now may not even take that first step.
55
If there's one thing that I can encourage you with as someone who doesn't know you, will probably never know you,
56
but who wants the best for you is this.
57
Today, take one small step in actually doing something, and not just dreaming about it.

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。
