you should do you should just stay the same do whatever you're doing

and don't change because the world needs to accept you as you are

and that's it it's something i will never ever tell you why

because that's the worst advice ever the world does not owe

you anything people don't owe you anything we are changing every

single day we are always trying to get better always trying

to improve ourselves always no person is the same person as he

or she was from the day that they were born

so saying that oh don't change yourself just accept yourself it's just not realistic

and this channel is all about realism i do not like

to sugarcoat things sugar coating does not work i'm not the nice guru

that will tell you that everything will be okay no it will be okay

when you make it okay because your life is literally in your hands

and in your hands only nobody's coming to save you nobody

will save you not your mom not your not your spouse

not your children nobody will you want your life to change

you have to change hi guys my name is liz

and welcome to my channel okay

so today we are going to talk about the fact

if you don't like yourself you have to create another version

of yourself literally we see celebrities talking about this a lot

you see beyonce beyonce says whenever she goes on stage she

is not beyonce she is sasha fears a very good example

of this as well is david goggins david goggins is a

navy seal who um he was he would he grew up

and he got into poverty he uh gained a lot of

weight he lost weight he ran marathons this man did incredible stuff

if you don't know him please check him out but basically

they all say create another version of yourself and

when i heard those stories i was like wow

that makes a lot of sense and i started doing

that as well

so you have me right liz she's just you know herself

liz is very lazy liz liz does not want to do anything like honestly

if you ask me what the perfect thing for me would be

if i do not want to be the higher version of

myself is literally go back home go live with my mom

uh rely on her financially just stay in my room delete all my social media

because i do not like the attention that comes with it and yeah just stay like that

comfortable in my bed in my room but that will get me nowhere so i created an alter ego

somebody that is confident somebody that uses her platform somebody that goes after her goals

somebody that wakes up in the morning and goes to the gym

and does not care whether she wants to

or whether she doesn't she just has to get up

and do it somebody with a very hard mindset somebody

when she gets told that she's ugly she doesn't look good

because i get told things like that daily on my social media somebody

that created tough skin

because she has to take it all in order for her to achieve what she wants to achieve

so you don't like yourself you create another version maybe even act

if you start acting like it you'll become it there is

no other way i don't think i don't understand why people say

that oh my god this is like magic it's not real how is this magic

if you start doing what the higher version of yourself would

do obviously you'll become her this is like very logical you

see uh you have to think about it right how does

the higher version of yourself look like what is she wearing

or what is he wearing who do they date where do

they hang out how do they spend their time what's their

career even down to the haircut what's the haircut like what

does what does this person look like in your head i cannot tell you

that you know what best you looks like maybe the best

version of you has a little weight to lose maybe the

best version of you has a little weight to gain maybe the best version of you has muscle to gain

you notice all these things for yourself i cannot tell you this

because i do not know what the highest version of yourself

looks like i only know what the highest version of myself looks like

so once you got that you got

that goal in mind you know what the highest version of

yourself looks like you have to start acting towards it

so you have to start planning your goals for example i'm

telling you in my head okay the highest version of myself i know her perfect weight i have a very

petite frame

um too skinny does not look good on me

because like i told you guys i had an eating disorder

i was there i looked sick sick sick i looked like i was dying does not look good on me

a little weight but like toned looks the best on me

and i know that this i can achieve through gym

and fitness and weight lifting so every single day

when i wake up and i do not want i do not want to go to the gym.

But I think to myself, okay, what would the highest version of myself do right now?

The highest version of myself gets out of bed, says, thank you, God, for waking me up today.

Thank you for this blessed day.

This day is going to be so good.

I started with positive affirmations.

I put my gym shoes on and I get off to the gym.

That's what the highest version of myself does and every single day even

if i like pick a meal right i love sugar i love like sugary foods

and stuff but i always think what would the highest version of myself do would she get this dessert

because my issue is sugar causes breakouts with me

and i get inflamed i do not digest it well it's

very bad for me i even i think i have an allergic reaction to sugar

because i get like a rash in my face as well

so this is really not good for me

so i always think like okay what would the highest version of myself do

because the highest version of myself has really nice skin

so the highest version would not take

that dessert she would take maybe caffeine instead like something like a coffee

or a tea that will suppress like um that suppresses my craving for sugar right

100

so i do that instead because that's what the higher version of myself would do same thing with reading books.

101

I do not, I cannot concentrate.

102

I do not want to read books at all, at all.

103

But the highest version of myself, she needs to finish the books because she knows books are knowledge and knowledge is key.

104

Knowledge will get you so far in life.

105

I cannot explain this enough.

106

The more you know, the better.

107

The highest version of myself is also very confident.

108

Liz is shy she does not want to go out in

109

public she does not want to speak she just wants to be ignored

110

in her room safe where nobody can judge her nobody can talk about her nobody knows anything about her

111

but the highest version of myself has a platform

112

and she wants to use that platform for the better she wants to use

113

that platform to help people this is something i'm very passionate about this is my passion

114

because right now i was doing this giving advice making videos

115

having my tick tock i would never ever promote anything

116

because i did not want my uh my followers to buy something

117

that i did not use myself so i would get

118

so many questions for brand deals and emails

119

and offering me a lot of money and i always declined

120

because either i use it myself and i promote it

121

or i don't promote it at all

122

and i do not care about the money that's how passionate

123

i am about this i did this thing for a

124

while for free right now i am making money off of this not true brand deals

125

and stuff but i am so the money now is just a bonus

126

but i was doing this for a year for free

127

because i love it i would wake up sometimes at night i could not sleep

128

because ideas would run through my head oh my god okay

129

you have to film this video this video is nice i'm very creative uh my mind is always running

130

so i love to wake up in the morning i love

131

like cultivating my new ideas telling you guys my new ideas

132

talking to you guys i love it this is something i

133

love you have to find your own passion see i get

134

messages people ask me liz what is what what is something you would recommend

135

that i have to do as a career choice what is something uh what is what is my passion and stuff

136

I cannot tell you what your passion is babe I can't

137

at all you know even my sister right who is literally

138

my own blood she does not want what I want

139

because this is not for her she says Liz I'm

140

so proud of you and congratulations for everything you've achieved

141

but I do not want what you want I would never put myself in a position like

142

that for people to judge me

143

and this is very hard you have to create such tough skin to be to be a public figure

144

or to be an influencer or even a celebrity this is

145

so hard because the tiniest things people notice about you

146

and they start saying

147

and you start looking yourself in the mirror differently you can be the most confident person ever

148

but when so many people say it over

149

and over again you're like oh my god is this true do i really look like

150

that you know you it's almost like a body dysphormia you create in your head It's insane.

151

So you really have to get tough skin for that.

152

And a lot of people do not want this.

153

But see, I believe that God gives us passions because that's what we're supposed to do.

154

God doesn't give you just like a talent or a passion just like that, you know.

155

Why do you not want to go climb the Mount Everest, for example?

156

Why is that not your passion?

157

Because it was not for you.

158

you know deep down inside what you were meant to do

159

and if you don't have a passion

160

or you think you don't think about what am i really

161

good at what would people even pay like ten dollars for

162

for me to do like for example me i'm very good

163

at giving advice i have always been giving advice since i was a child i gave advice to my mom

164

when i was five years old about how she should work her marriage out and stuff, what she should do.

165

I have been doing this for a while, and I am good at this.

166

And when I speak, I speak from the heart.

167

And when people, when my followers on Instagram ask me for advice, I give them advice for free.

168

But you think if I would ask them like, okay, I'll give you advice, but send me $10, they would 100 % give it.

169

Because this is how good i am at it every single

170

person is good at something it might be like as small

171

as cooking maybe you're a really good cook bake pies start selling your pies do things like that

172

big other foods um maybe you're very good at managing a

173

team why don't you start a management company maybe you're very much into social media

174

but you don't know you don't want to be seen start

175

um a social media company where you make other people famous

176

but you're on the background you know these are the things

177

you have to think about like what am i really good

178

at what would people pay even ten dollars for to get real honest with yourself like really i am so

179

so tired of these people always sugarcoating stuff always being like

180

oh no always be kind to yourself in my opinion that's

181

toxic you cannot always be kind to yourself sometimes you need a reality check

182

for example uh i suffered from a depression for two years

183

severely i would not leave my room like not at all

184

my mom would come into my room in the morning to check

185

if i was alive if if her daughter was breathing

186

and like if i think about it right now it's very hard for me to even talk about

187

but that was my reality and i do not want like pity

188

or something you know i got over it

189

and I became this version of myself so it's a blessing

190

but at that time I remember I would I would always talk to my mom

191

and I would tell her mom like I have this desire to help people

192

and maybe it was because I felt so helpless myself that I wanted to help other people

193

and my mom was like Liz like what are you talking

194

about just get nine to five like a normal job what

195

are you talking about YouTube social media like are you insane

196

and I didn't even have any social me back then you know

197

and i was like no mom i i want this i need this i want to help people

198

and she was like she looked at me she's like liz you can't even help yourself

199

and that really hurt me i remember i went up to my room

200

and i started crying i started bawling my eyes out

201

and i was like why does she hate me she's so mean to me and all these things

202

and then when i was done crying the next morning i woke up

203

and i was like wow my mom is right

204

how am i trying to help other people

205

when i cannot even help myself

206

and then i remember i i i did my skincare i put my um i i changed my pajama again

207

and i went back to sit on my bed

208

and i was like in my head just waiting until it

209

got evening again like every single day i would just sit on my bed

210

and wait until it got dark again and then at

211

that day particular i went to the mirror i looked at myself

212

and i was like liz you're pathetic you are

213

so pathetic look at yourself these are your youngest years every second you're getting older

214

and you have wasted wasted the last two years in your room doing nothing

215

so then from that day on i i remember i made a plan i was like okay

216

we have to think what would the better version of me do

217

so then i said okay the better version of me would

218

start maybe getting out of her room you know going outside maybe get some fresh air

219

so i started doing

220

that i started going for walks every single day i would

221

make sure i would get my 10 000 steps in um

222

i started eating eating healthier i started like making myself oatmeal i enjoyed doing

223

that then i started listening to like podcasts um motivational things um um You know, I used to listen to this before,

224

but now I started hearing them.

225

I started really like listening.

226

The most important thing I have ever done in my life is believe in the law of assumption and believe in God.

227

Because I started to communicate with God.

228

You know, I used to pray like I'm Muslim.

229

So I would pray five times a day and stuff

230

but I would pray and just to pray and that's it

231

and then go to sleep and cry but then I started praying like talking

232

so I every single time when I uh when I did my prayer I would sit

233

and not every single time because that's like that's also like pushing it

234

and that's too much but like sometimes

235

when I was really feeling down I was like look I

236

talked to God like he was my best friend I was like look I don't feel good

237

and this is what I'm feeling right now and I don't know why

238

and and i know you're the only one that can help me

239

and you know what i give it to you you know

240

what's best for me then show me the way i asked him show me the way how do i do it

241

so when i started talking to him like

242

that i swear i swear every single thing i wanted to manifest started manifesting into my life

243

because i started talking to god see you guys are expecting things to come into your life

244

but did you ask god did you ask the universe did you ask

245

if you don't believe in anything just ask you know you cannot expect help if you don't ask for help

246

and you don't you cannot expect good things to come

247

if you don't even can accept help from people you know

248

sometimes god puts people into our life to help us to upgrade us

249

and if you're constantly dismissing people

250

and being like no i got it on my own how will you ever get there

251

and then you keep asking like god why don't you help me god says i send you this person

252

but you dismissed them

253

or dismissed her completely let's go of trying to control everything

254

like i was always trying to control every single thing in my life i needed control i was

255

so afraid of not having control in my life and this comes from early childhood trauma because like when i was

256

in my younger years, I never had control.

257

There was a parent that always had control over me, and I felt just like I was nothing, you know, and when I grew older, that gave me a sense of like,

258

oh, okay, I need to control everybody around me, and everything that happens into my life, because that's the only thing I have,

259

but then I realized that when I started talking to God, and when I started seeing

260

that whatever I ask him is happening I started to trust him

261

so I let go of every desire I had I asked

262

once I would ask once I would say this is what I want

263

and specific you know uh if it was money

264

that I wanted like for example uh I needed to pay

265

a fine I specifically ask I need money for this fine this is how much I need please help me

266

and I would always always also practice gratitude before I would

267

say thank you God for having a bed to sleep

268

and thank you god for having food on the table thank

269

you god for um the smallest things i would say thank you for before i went to bed

270

and then i would talk to him i would say like

271

hey um this was my day this is what happened like

272

even literally like he's my best friend i would tell him everything

273

and then i would be like okay

274

so right now i have this fine to pay can you can you make sure i have the money

275

and like really sometimes i swear like out of nowhere i would get money

276

and this was like scary stuff like scary

277

and then i knew okay whatever i ask him will happen

278

so i started to trust him and now whatever happens

279

if even if it's good or bad i trust

280

that it's for my better when somebody leaves my life

281

that i really want it i know that god knows he's not good for me

282

i know that he knows what's best for me

283

so i really do not stress anymore like it i cannot tell you guys how much i trust him

284

because i have seen every time i've asked he has delivered

285

and he has not failed and

286

when i did not get what i wanted i got something better instead that's how much you have to trust

287

and you have to start assuming like the world is designed

288

for you to succeed that's how the highest version of you would think

289

so from now on i want you to adopt this mindset

290

of what would the highest version of myself do you walk into a room you have a meeting

291

you might think oh no i'm so nervous i can't do this

292

or you have presentation for school you think oh no i'm

293

so nervous i can't do this what would the highest version of yourself do shoulders back walk into the room

294

and start talking talking like these people are are oh you know what whenever Whenever you go somewhere,

295

think that everybody's in love with you like really honestly do that

296

that will make you more confident you really have to think like oh my god these people are obsessed with me

297

you have to tell yourself affirmations like

298

that before you have a big big project look into the

299

mirror say i am powerful i am amazing i am gonna

300

kill this today ask god say god today i want you

301

to help me to talk better to deliver to have the

302

best presentation ever god please stand by with me today

303

and i swear when you start talking you talk like you've never talked before

304

because he literally helps you ask for help you'll receive help

305

see recovery getting the better version of yourself become the highest

306

version of yourself it's not linear it hurts it takes accountability accountability leads to guilt

307

because you have to see all the things you've done before

308

it takes uh going through the process of like looking at

309

yourself differently looking at yourself like why did i act this way why did i do this um

310

if you are trying to heal from trauma it often means

311

that you have to relive the trauma to heal from it

312

and this hurts and you know what you're gonna have

313

so many bad days as well

314

but i still have bad days you know i have days where i wake up

315

and i'm like wow i i really don't like this i really don't want this

316

but then you know

317

when you change your mindset you change your life i have

318

my bad day i always think what would the highest version

319

of me think right now you know what would she do

320

and i know she thinks

321

that you know she she believes in god she believes in the universe she believes

322

that everything's working out for her so she knows

323

that this bad day is actually a blessing

324

because how can we appreciate the good days

325

if we do not have bad days we would not even know what good days were

326

if there were no bad days you know so i'm telling you

327

when you are trying to recover from something

328

when you are trying to become a better person you will have good

329

and bad days but it's the it's the process

330

that will make you fall in love with life you know oftentimes it's not the thing

331

that we get like for example

332

if you want an expensive watch right the watch itself does not fulfill you

333

but the process towards the watch the working towards it the

334

anticipation the oh my god i'm gonna get it tomorrow that's what makes you happy

335

and then when you get it you're like oh wow is this it

336

but you forget like the whole process before that's the exciting part

337

so oftentimes when people try to lose weight

338

and stuff they're like oh wow okay so i got here now

339

but like going to the gym seeing every single day

340

that scale go down and being like oh wow

341

and looking better feeling healthier drinking a lot of water your

342

skin becoming plump eating healthy having energy that's the process that's the happiness

343

so you have to look at things like wow i fall

344

in love with the process of getting things not the thing itself

345

but the whole time that takes

346

that takes to get there the bad days the good days everything you take it in

347

and you're like wow i love this process another thing is do not tell me what you want

348

or what you want to accomplish what your ambitions are i

349

could not care less to be honest with you show me what you've done show me what you're doing

350

because for example when i started my whole social media thing

351

and my uh stuff my mom she would be like liz

352

what are you doing it's embarrassing you're not accomplishing anything i mean i was gaining a little followers

353

but i wasn't going anywhere you know and now that i started making money off of this my mom

354

is one of my biggest supporters why

355

because i showed her what i was capable of the years before i would always talk about it

356

and be like oh my god mom i want this i

357

want to be like yeah yeah whatever liz whatever your little dreamer whatever you know

358

but then now when i'm serious about this

359

and she sees me signing contracts she see me she sees

360

me physically doing this stuff she's like whoa that's my daughter

361

and now she supports me

362

and the bigger i get the more support i'll get from my family it's just that way

363

so i have people sending me messages as well like yeah

364

liz my family doesn't support me i don't know what to

365

do now i don't want to do it hey look

366

if you tell big dreams to small -minded people they will never support you

367

because they do not understand they haven't done it themselves why

368

do you think uh you can do it you know big

369

issue with a lot of people these days is you want

370

to talk you want to talk before it happens okay

371

so why are you putting this evil eye on yourself

372

because i believe in evil eye i really really do every

373

single time i told somebody something a goal of mine or anything before it actually happened it did not work

374

why

375

because people you know what people don't know they cannot ruin

376

you guys have to become more private about your life you're

377

always putting everything on social media see i am on social media

378

but i'm private i do not want to answer personal questions why

379

because i do not want anybody knowing anything about my personal life

380

because it's personal i do not know who's watching me i

381

do not know who's preying on my downfall people are watching me

382

because they love me but people are also watching me

383

because they hate me and i'm aware of that

384

and at the end of the day evil eye does exist i believe in it

385

so i will not talk about things

386

that i want to accomplish before they're accomplished you know i will show you guys

387

that i'm accomplishing it and then that i'm doing it

388

but i will not talk about it before it happens

389

and that's why a lot of reason why you guys are not succeeding is

390

because you talk too much

391

and you do less i hope you really enjoyed this video

392

i'm telling you you don't like yourself you create another version

393

you start behaving like the best version of yourself you start

394

figuring out what the best version of yourself looks like smells

395

like dress like um what's the career is what the passion is like anything you know this for yourself

396

if you don't you figure it out i love you guys

397

so much like it's insane like the way my uh social media is growing

398

and especially my youtube because i love youtube

399

because it really gives me a connection with you guys i just love this

400

so much and i'm so grateful and i'm so thankful for you guys

401

and i swear every night before i go to bed i pray for you guys i pray

402

that everyone that's watching me that wants to succeed will succeed

403

and i know you guys will

404

but i cannot do this for you the only thing I can do is provide you with content

405

and you guys have to actually do it you know I cannot hold your hand

406

and be like come on let's do it together I can't I wish I could I can't

407

so get honest with yourself start start becoming the higher version

408

of yourself start acting like the higher version of yourself and you're gonna make it you really are

409

I love you guys so much thank you so much for watching

De “th”-klanken: pathetic /pəˈθɛtɪk/, thankful /ˈθæŋkfəl/, marathon /ˈmæɹəθən/

Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: accountability /əˌkaʊn.təˈbɪl.ə.ti/, influencer /ˈɪnflu.ənsə(ɹ)/, realism /ˈɹi.əlɪzəm/, anticipation /ænˌtɪs.əˈpeɪ.ʃən/

/g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: sugarcoat /ˈʃʊɡɚˌkoʊt/, guru /ˈɡʊɹ(ˌ)u/, gratitude /ˈɡɹæ.tɪ.tud/, youngest /ˈjʌŋ.ɡɪst/, guilt /ɡɪlt/

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.
