1
You already have everything that you want.
2
So why are you still asking for it?
3
Why do you still need it so much?
4
Why do you still feel a lack of it in your life?
5
I know that some of you might be bewildered or even angry when hearing me saying all these things.
6
You may say, I have not got what I want.
7
I want a lot of money and abundance, but now I am still struggling financially.
8
I want a lot of love, but now I feel lonely and isolated every day.
9
I want a lot of peace, but now my life is so chaotic.
10
I want a lot of strength and confidence, but everything that is happening around me right now only makes me feel weak and powerless.
11
What do you mean I already have everything that I want?
12
That's nonsense.
13
I have nothing now.
14
That's exactly how I used to think and feel when hearing the same thing.
15
It's one of the most common mistakes that we all make.
16
We deprive ourselves of all the goodness that we already have
17
and then go search for it without realizing that it has always been present within and outside us.
18
The more we feel like we don't have something and look for it obsessively, the more we are separated from it.
19
And this can go to a point where we are unable to recognize what we want even
20
when we are holding it in our hands already.
21
It's like when you go around the house looking for your key
22
and you ask where's my key where's my key where's my key when it's actually right inside your pocket.
23
I absolutely love that saying to those
24
that have everything more will be given from those that have nothing everything will be taken.
25
Those who have everything here do not refer to the richest people who own the most luxurious cars and mansions.
26
They're actually people who know that they already have everything that they want.
27
These people are at peace, grateful, and see life or the universe or God whatever you choose to be living, as generous, benevolent and loving,
28
and hence they will be given more of what they think they already have.
29
And those who have nothing here do not refer to the poorest people who are living on the street with no money.
30
They are actually people who are unaware of all the abundance and love and prosperity that are already present in their lives.
31
They see life as hopeless, disappointing and evil, and hence eventually they will have nothing, just like what they believe in.
32
You need to understand that whatever you choose to believe in will be your truth and your truth only.
33
If you believe that you have nothing, you are right.
34
If you believe that you have everything, you are right.
35
Now to answer the question that you might be holding in your mind from the very beginning of this video until now,
36
how can I feel loved and abundant when there's no love and abundance in my life?
37
Are you sure that there's no love and abundance in your life now?
38
You know what I'm gonna say?
39
I'll say if there were no love and abundance in your life, you wouldn't be alive now.
40
So here's the problem.
41
The problem is that we often have a really limited perception of what love and abundance are.
42
So we always feel like we lack them.
43
When we talk about abundance, we immediately think of financial abundance.
44
When we talk about love, we immediately think of romantic or familial love, but that's just a small part of it.
45
In fact, I actually felt the most abundant in my life
46
when I earned literally nothing and had the least amount of money in my bank account.
47
I also felt the most loved in my life when I had the least physical interaction with other people.
48
But I could feel abundance and love through everything around me and inside me.
49
I feel them in the meals I have every day, in the water that I drink, in the air that I breathe in, in the sound of my heartbeat and in the warmth of my body.
50
I realize how much love and abundance this life has given me unconditionally so that I can stay alive.
51
When you can broaden your perspective about love and abundance, you will see them everywhere it.
52
You will know that abundance is not a number in your bank account and love is not the words either of you.
53
They're actually a state of consciousness, which means you can have them anytime you connect with yourself and with life.
54
So there you go.
55
Why want something when you already have it?
56
And you know what's the most magical thing?
57
The most magical thing is that your desired reality will come to you almost effortlessly when you don't need it anymore,
58
when you feel amazing even without it in the physical world because you already have it within.
59
You already have it here.
60
People who need the least have the most.
61
They know that they can find everything they need within.
62
That confidence and reassurance will put you in a perfect field of energy to manifest whatever desired reality you're aiming at.
63
So yeah, stop needing because you already have everything that you want.

この動画でスピーキング練習する理由

「なぜ既に全てを持っているのに、まだ何かを求めるのか?」という深い問いかけがあるこの動画は、shadow speak(シャドーイング)の理想的な素材です。日常的な悩みを巡る自然な会話が展開され、感情を込めた発音やリズムが学べます。英語スピーキング練習に最適なのは、自分の考えを表現する際の語彙や文法がリアルな文脈で使われているから。「不足感」「感謝の気持ち」など、誰でも経験する感情を英語で話す練習ができるので、実践的なスキルが身につきます。

文脈の中の文法と表現

  • 「Why do you still feel a lack of it in your life?」で使われるa lack of(~の不足)は、抽象的な概念を表す際に便利なフレーズです。「a lack of confidence」(自信の不足)のように応用できます。
  • 「It's like when you go around the house looking for your key」のlike when(~のような時)は、例えを挙げる時の自然な表現です。比喩を使って説明する場面で頻繁に使われます。
  • 「whatever you choose to believe in will be your truth」のwhatever(~が何であれ)は、条件を表す接続詞で、強い決意や信念を表現する際に効果的です。

発音の注意点

この動画の発音では、いくつかのトリッキーな箇所があります。例えば「bewildered」(当惑した)は、「bɪˈwɪldərd」と発音し、「w」の音をはっきりさせることが重要です。また「benevolent」(慈悲深い)は「bəˈnevələnt」となり、途中の「e」の音が弱くなるので注意しましょう。shadowspeakやshadowing siteで練習する際は、リズムを合わせながら、これらの単語の発音を繰り返し確認すると良いでしょう。

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。
