this video is not planned, not scripted, not anything.

But I got an intuitive urge to post this video, to record this video at first, because there's something that is very important for a lot of people to realize.

I had this one -on -one call with a client, and she was like, "I want to bring good things to the world.

I want to help people.

I want to do things, but at the same time, I am so scared of being perceived.

I'm so scared of being seen, and I tried to work on that, but I don't really know how." And I was like, do you think that, you know,

when you truly feel that you are here for a bigger purpose, that you are here for the purpose of maybe counseling people, teaching people, giving people advice,

of putting your energy out there in order to help other people.

Do you think, like don't you think that if

that is your purpose here on this earth and you don't act on it,

Because you are scared of what some people who are not even meant to learn from you might think about you, how they might perceive you in a wrong way,

how they might judge you.

Don't you think that's quite selfish of you?

Because I said to her, you know...

if you have this thing where you know you are meant for more

but you refuse to act on it you automatically rob the people who are meant to learn from you

and who are meant to connect with you the experience of learning and connecting from you And I told her, like, when I started social media, I was, I was, you know,

in my first videos, I was not feeling good.

I was like, okay, I look weird.

I don't know how to edit.

I don't know how to do these things.

I never wrote scripts.

I was like, this is looking weird.

So many people are so much more professional.

They have professional cameras, professional scripts, thumbnail designers, whatever.

I didn't have anything of that.

Okay.

But I was like, okay.

Okay.

I was like, fuck it, just post it, just put it out there and leave the rest of the universe.

And this is what you have to do.

You have to take a leap of faith.

And you have to realize that there are so many people waiting for your art, waiting for your voice.

No place on this earth can be oversaturated with you.

And this is what I don't like about people who do any kind of counseling about social media, who are like, oh, look for a niche and so many people are already in that niche.

I don't care.

I don't care how many people are already doing this.

No one is doing it with your energy.

No one is doing it with your heart.

No one is doing it with your soul.

No one can be you.

No one can put out there what you can put out there.

No one can be you.

And that is your power.

When people started to text me things like: "Alessia, what you said, the video you posted saved my life." I was like,

oh my God, like, I don't believe that I saved anyone's life, by the way.

I always say you saved yourself.

Maybe I said something that helped you, but ultimately you saved yourself.

But I was like, oh my God.

Imagine I would have allowed my ego to stop me from putting my things out there, because I would stay in this sphere of how some people might perceive me.

And this person would never see what they really needed to see

or hear in this moment and would have done something to themselves.

You never realize how much the world needs you, like your voice, until you share your voice with the world.

There is nothing to lose.

There's nothing to lose.

Do you think you will gain something by staying silent?

Do you think you will gain something by not putting yourself out there, by not putting your art out there or your heart or like your voice?

No. You are only putting yourself in a cage.

You are holding yourself back from your full potential.

You are holding yourself back from making the world a better place.

You are holding yourself back from helping other people, from connecting with other people.

And you deserve these things.

What other people think of you is none of your business.

Okay?

And the people who judge you, who don't perceive you the way you want to be perceived, who don't see your heart the way you know your heart is.

They are not meant to learn from you.

They are not meant to be the ones who are following you.

They are not meant to be the ones who are supporting you.

But trust me, if you put yourself out there, you will always attract the people who are meant to be with you, who are meant to learn from you.

But you have to give yourself the chance.

You have to push yourself.

You know, my favorite quote is: "When it feels scary to jump, that's exactly when you have to jump." So jump, push yourself and jump.

Post that video, start the social media page, start that business, but jump, do something.

Don't stay in the limbo of inaction, of fear, of not doing anything.

Push yourself, okay?

Because you are here to express yourself.

You are here to become what you are meant to be in this lifetime, but you can never become it if your mind is so occupied with what other people think of you.

- Your words or your art or whatever you are scared to share right now,

music, you know, could literally change someone's entire life, entire worldview, entire mindset.

You have the power to change people's life and not only people's life.

your own life.

Act on it.

This is the only thing I'm telling you.

Act on it.

Because there's a time and a place to act on ideas before this idea is being given to another soul.

And before it's too late.

Because let's be honest, we all have a limited time here on earth, right?

And if you don't use your time, people won't care.

But you will literally take the biggest chance of your life and throw it away.

And at the end of your life, you don't want to sit in your bed and be like, "Wow, I had so many opportunities but I never really used them because I was scared And when people ask you,

"Okay, why were you scared?" "Because of other people." "Okay, where are they now?" 6 feet under,

probably in a grave You are scared of what future corpses think about you.

You are scared of other people.

Don't never be scared of other people.

Never fear another human being.

Never in your whole life fear another human being.

No one, no one.

I don't care what they say about you, what rumors they spread about you, what shit they are spreading about you.

Never ever be scared about another human being.

100

No one deserves to have this much power over you.

101

You are a limitless being.

102

Your options, your potential, your possibilities are endless.

103

The second you decide that they are, the second you realize your power is when you become power again.

104

But whenever you give your power away to other people, to what they think about you, how they act, how they judge, you lose all of your power again.

105

Never allow anyone to lose your power.

106

And people will be disappointed in you.

107

Maybe your parents will say, I expected you to be this and I expected you to be that.

108

they have their own life, everyone has their own life, right?

109

You don't have to live the life of someone else just

110

because they didn't get to live their own life the way they wanted to.

111

You don't have to become what anyone else is out there telling you to become

112

if you have a dream inside of your heart that is so big

113

that it's occupying your mind every single day from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep.

114

This is your life and you get to experience the life exactly as you want it.

115

If you truly believe that you can.

116

So never waste your life living someone else's dream.

117

Never waste your life keeping yourself caged because you are so scared of what anyone else is thinking out there.

118

Stop telling yourself excuses.

119

Stop telling yourself, they just got lucky.

120

They have this and this family.

121

They did this and this.

122

Stop telling yourself these things because what you do

123

when you tell yourself these things is like you give yourself

124

an explanation of why you are not there yet stop focusing on other people's life path

125

or like their advantages or their things we all have different advantages

126

and disadvantages in this life and the fact

127

that you can watch this video right now with an internet connection why

128

so many people on this earth are like literally starving to death

129

or like being born in a country that is in the middle of a war

130

We are all born with certain advantages and we are also all born with certain disadvantages.

131

We should focus on the advantages and forget about the disadvantages.

132

We should always do the best with what we have and we should always acknowledge the blessings that we have.

133

Instead of focusing what other people may have, oh they are born in a rich family.

134

It doesn't matter.

135

Everyone has their own life.

136

Use your advantages, forget about disadvantages.

137

Focus on the positive things, focus on the things that you have as an advantage.

138

You can literally create anything.

139

Anything is possible, but you have to believe it is.

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.
