1
That's the game, right?
2
Like, either you're right or you're wrong.
3
Either you win or you lose.
4
But if you're going to come to me and tell me you don't have time,
5
in a world where I work every second for 18 hours a day,
6
right, you're going to have a tough time making me feel bad that it's not happening for you, because that's part of it.
7
It's simple.
8
It's now or never time.
9
What would have had to have happened in a week for you to look back on that week with pride?
10
Okay, maybe stop breaking promises to yourself.
11
When you say, I'm going to wake up tomorrow at 7am, and when the option comes to hit the snooze button, don't do it.
12
There's one win that you've got for the day.
13
That's action.
14
So it all comes down to this moment.
15
This moment is the only time we can transform.
16
And I say, join now or never.
17
Don't miss the opportunity of this moment because the days are gonna be long, but the months will be short.
18
You have an opportunity.
19
Seize the opportunity.
20
We all get wake -up calls.
21
We get wake -up calls in our relationship.
22
We get wake -up calls in our finances.
23
And some people, the phone's ringing off the hook right now.
24
They're getting wake -up calls on a bunch of things.
25
They're at home with their family, and they're starting to realize, I was disconnected from my family.
26
I haven't been plugged in.
27
They've got a wake -up call on their relationships at home they've gotten a wake -up call on,
28
you know, I don't have any savings and I've got, I'm deeply in debt.
29
This isn't working.
30
And so the cool thing is when you get the call, then you have to make the choice.
31
Are you going to answer the phone?
32
If you pick the phone up, that means maybe it's time to change.
33
Are you going to answer the phone?
34
Are you going to change your life where you say, never again?
35
Maybe it's time to increase your quality of life.
36
Maybe instead of staying in middle back seat it's time to upgrade to the exit row right
37
or business class business class
38
or maybe it's time to eat at a different restaurant maybe it's time to really think about your money dial
39
and say hey i always claim that wellness is important
40
and yet i'm still eating like the same old thing
41
i used to eat 10 years ago maybe it's time to upgrade what i eat
42
and and where i work out and all
43
that kind of stuff my my gear you can do
44
that you've made it you already won the basic game so now you get to benefit from it.
45
I believe if you're the kind of person
46
that has spent too much time thinking about where to go then it's time to get in the car and start driving.
47
And you you have to be able to pivot quickly, you have to be able to adjust fast, you have to constantly
48
be aware of the changes around you
49
and you don't have time to kind of say well I'm going to give it six months
50
and think about it you know you you give it six days and and
51
and hit it the fastest person doesn't win the race
52
it's the person who starts first be the now what you want to be later
53
it starts right now and
54
if you're not doing the now don't have respect to later be the person
55
you want to look in the mirror everyone's like oh later in life
56
i want to do this later in life i do
57
that later in life is turning around looking in the mirror right now that's the later in life
58
unless that turnaround is something in progression later in life ain't gonna be anything different
59
absolutely you do whatever it takes okay even
60
if it risks your life that's your dream i made the decision
61
that look this is what i want to do somebody's give me an opportunity i'm gonna take advantage of.
62
I have 24 hours in the day.
63
I try to take advantage of every hour.
64
Yeah, most days I just want to wake up and make the most of the time I have.
65
I realize it's finite and that I think I'm here for some purpose.
66
That's what I was trained to believe in my own family spiritually, like we're all here for some purpose to give.
67
Then mostly I'm just like constantly worried that I'm not fulfilling that promise.
68
I was like, wow, if I'm not pushing myself to do more and to have more impact,
69
then I'm not really taking full advantage of why I'm here.
70
Because if you spend your time learning too much and never acting, you're gonna fail, right?
71
If you spend your time acting, acting, acting, but you're never learning what you're doing, you're gonna fail.
72
If you spend your time chasing opportunity and never doing anything, you're gonna be at best in some famous person's entourage, right?
73
I think that's how those people end up there.
74
Because you see opportunity, but you never act.
75
As humans, I've realized we all have these reservoirs of this untapped potential inside of us
76
and can achieve these extraordinary things when we're focused, when we shine positivity in light,
77
when we lean into those that we love and uplift and co -create together.
78
But we usually don't pay attention to what's here right now.
79
Right now, you and I are here.
80
Everything we think our story is, our accomplishments, our problems are BS.
81
We're just this moment.
82
And everyone watching this, if you really understand the highest truth of what's going on, we're all even.
83
There's no, this person is better or less, and there's none of that.
84
We're just this space that's here.
85
Now from here, you have sky's the limit possibilities.
86
I chased opportunity.
87
like viciously chased opportunity.
88
Then I learned once I got there, and then I didn't hesitate to apply it.
89
You know, the worst thing you could ever do is if you're pursuing the wrong dream, or if your dream changes,
90
and you don't change with it.
91
I know from a personal level what that feels like, to be in pain, or to feel like you're not worthy,
92
or that you're never going to be anything.
93
And I was like, you know what?
94
It's time for me to free my mind.
95
Yeah.
96
And resentment and anger and all these things that I kind of will just keep internally.
97
It's time to rewrite this story.
98
If you're about to make a change in your life and you feel uncomfortable, that's the best feeling you can have.
99
Because for the first time in your life, you're making a decision that's going to be best for you.
100
Now is your time.
101
It's your moment.
102
It is your day.
103
Now is your time to win.
104
Now is your time to make a difference.
105
Now is your time to have an impact.
106
Now is your time to make straight A's.
107
Now is your time to be noticed.
108
Now is your time to be heard.
109
Now is your time to be seen.
110
Now is your time to do this thing.
111
It's your moment.
112
The only belief that matters is that if you put time and energy into getting better at something, you'll actually get better.
113
And that those skills have utility.
114
And typically when somebody learns something easier, we say, oh, they were born with it.
115
But the reality is they get a disproportionate return on the amount of time that they spend studying that thing.
116
They still have to study that thing.
117
And so you don't find people achieving just levels of greatness.
118
You know, even take a LeBron, who the amount of time that he spends working on his craft,
119
making sure that his body's in peak physical condition, reading the game, all of that.
120
He has to do all that, even though he has also incredible natural talent.
121
So it can be useful to look for areas where, hey, I have a love for this thing and I'm good at it,
122
I get a disproportionate return.
123
That's a better way to think of it.
124
That when I put energy into learning this thing,
125
I get maybe 1 .3x return on that versus somebody else who might get a 0 .7 return.
126
But what I want everybody to understand is you get a return.
127
And so once you understand that you get a return, it may take you longer.
128
You may have to work harder than somebody else.
129
But if you love it enough and you want to be that thing then you can become that thing.
130
But now is your moment.
131
Now is your time.
132
Now is the time where the talking is done.
133
Now is the moment where you got to make a decision and the decision is simply this.
134
Are you ready to take the next step?
135
Are you ready to start the new chapter.
136
Are you ready to go and build a legacy?
137
Are you ready?
138
Are you ready?
139
There is no tomorrow.
140
There is no tomorrow.
141
There is no tomorrow.

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.
