So you have a goal, a vision.

And for whatever reason, you can't bring yourself to do the things that you need to do in order to get there.

And it almost doesn't make sense.

Like, how can you want something so bad?

Like, I know that feeling.

I know how amped up you probably get thinking about that thing.

You know, living that lifestyle, being that person, having that freedom, you know,

all those things like it invokes like this invigorating adrenaline it

makes you feel alive you know it gives you goosebumps

when you think about it so how can you want

that thing so bad and still just not be willing to do the things

that you need to do and it's not like this the things

that you need to be doing are difficult in any way or are a mystery you know like everyone knows

what to do.

All the information is out there online.

You can find a ton of YouTube videos on how to do pretty much anything in this world.

Start any kind of business.

You can learn how to become an artist.

You can learn how to do anything.

You can learn how to become a chef.

Like you can literally learn anything on the internet nowadays.

So it's not a matter of how.

It's a matter of will.

Where do you find the will?

Evidently, it's not going to be motivation.

because motivation doesn't trump laziness, you know, because motivation is temporary.

That's why when you think about your goal or your vision, you maybe get amped up and, you know, you might work at it for a week or two weeks or maybe even a month,

but eventually you burn out and like you just go back to square one.

And it's just like this repeating, endless, dreadful cycle.

So what needs to change?

How do we find the will?

Many of us are too focused on everything that's going on out here, external factors, right?

And when the physical world doesn't reflect what we want in our minds,

it leaves us frustrated and confused and exhausted and discouraged

and a whole bunch of other things that no one wants to feel.

whereas what needs to happen is we need to embody the person

that we want to become on the inside we need to

adopt their mindset we need to adopt their mental framework we need to replicate their behaviors

and naturally the physical realm will kind of just reflect

that now this probably isn't the first time you heard someone say this like you need to adopt the mindset first.

But I want to really specify something

because a lot of people go at this the completely wrong

way you need to really immerse yourself in this like this

is a very involved process this isn't like you just tell yourself um a few positive affirmations

and you meditate for 10 minutes

and call it a day no like this is a you need to rework your your internal system here.

Like this is a deep rooting issue.

Because what you're asking to change is you, your identity, who you are.

Right?

Good news is once you actually make this change, you pretty much win at that point.

Like that's the hard part.

Everything else just kind of follows because all

that life is is a projection of what's going on in here

so if you can get this right

if you can align this with what you truly want um everything will just kind of fall into place after

that so but i want to make that clear like this isn't you have to you have to really

immerse yourself in this process.

I did this through a form of self-hypnosis.

I would isolate my mind.

I would turn off all the lights, get rid of all the distractions.

I would make sure my environment was silent

and I would get into a very relaxed state almost where everything kind of around me just disappeared.

And I was really able to focus all of my energy on me.

What this gave me the ability to do was look deeply into my subconscious,

into why I did certain things, what I truly wanted in life,

why I wanted them, what was truly preventing me from getting there,

What were things that I most needed to change about my current self to better reflect who I wanted to become?

Like these kinds of things.

And I was able to really hyper fixate on them in this kind of state.

what I noticed was when you really isolate yourself your mind

and you put yourself one-on-one with your weaknesses the things that you must change the things that you need to

improve on in order to reflect the person

that you're trying to become you you rapidly transform like you evolve at a rate

that you might not even imagine is possible and I mean truly like that's the only way to do it.

But many of us are too distracted on our phones

or watching TV or youtube or who knows what else like going to the club

or going out partying or whatever you do i don't know

but playing video games um the list goes on and on

and on we live in a world of distraction

and temptation it's i mean i would say 99% of people

really don't give themselves any time out of the day to do this kind of thing at any level.

So you get a whole bunch of people saying

that they want to change or they have a goal and they don't understand why they can't pursue it at any rate.

And it's like, you know, once you look at it from this perspective, it's almost laughable because it makes no sense like why would you think

that you could change if you're not giving yourself

any time out every day to to see where you need to change

so i want you to know like the most powerful tool

that you can possibly utilize is self-reflection

and um patience as well you know like the longer you can sit with yourself

and really like every answer every question

that you have all the information is is within it's nowhere

else you're not going to get it on a youtube video

you're not going to get it reading a book youtube videos are great books are amazing i'm not saying

that they're not useful

but in this case what we're trying to do is like

i said like rewire our internal system we need to wipe away the crappy foundation we're currently standing on

and rebuild it to replicate the foundation we need in order to build this grand structure

that we're trying to become you're not going to get

that through a youtube video or a book

100

or by talking to any like it it's an internal process

101

that needs to happen does that make sense you know

102

and by extension in order to in order for

103

that internal process to really take place

104

that in its full form you need to you need to isolate yourself

105

and you need to immerse yourself in

106

that you know like i'm having trouble to fully accurately like describe it

107

but i feel like you probably are kind of getting what i'm saying

108

but i do promise you

109

when you practice this like give it a week okay give it a week

110

and see where you end up give yourself an hour out of the day and get rid of all the distractions,

111

turn off the lights, and just focus on your breathing.

112

Ask yourself, what do you truly want?

113

What type of person do you want to become?

114

How do they operate?

115

What is their lifestyle like?

116

What are their motives?

117

What are their values?

118

Do any of those things differ from who we currently are?

119

Why are those differences rooted in something in our past?

120

What are ways that we can go about changing them or improving them?

121

you know like you just have to ask yourself questions that's

122

really it it's very simple thing it's not like it's not

123

rocket science you just have to be with yourself ask yourself questions listen to your own answers

124

and you'll just naturally be guided down the right path I promise you

125

and you'll you'll acquire this new perspective that kind of opens up a whole new dimension

126

of life for you and we're getting down a whatever uh road now but your issue is not laziness

127

your issue is you're not listening to yourself you're constantly being distracted you're constantly preoccupied

128

you need to just listen to yourself you know and

129

and identify who you want to become like i said before

130

all reality is is a projection of what's going on in here

131

so that's your main priority

132

if you can straighten this out laziness is just a mirror it's not even relevant at

133

that point laziness is such a surface level issue that's not the deep rooting cause of why you're not making any progress.

134

You're not listening to yourself.

135

That's the root cause.

136

So dedicate like even just an hour out of your day to just be alone in an isolated environment.

137

Isolate your mind.

138

Identify like what your vision is.

139

Who do you want to become?

140

How does that person behave?

141

How do they operate? um what about us defers from

142

that what's limiting us what do we need to change the

143

more you sit with yourself these answers will kind of just

144

reveal themselves to you like i said you'll grow at a rate

145

that you probably didn't even think was possible it's just you

146

have to start doing it all this is just noise

147

and distraction right now you are your answer so hopefully that resonated

148

and made some sense for you guys keep me updated on your progress i do look at the comments um

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
