Shadowing Practice: Thinking Higher | Motivated - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
Listen, getting successful, whatever you consider successful, if it's rich, whatever, it's not a magic trick.
2
It's not God picks certain people he'll make rich and certain people he don't.
3
He gives all of us as his children the power of choice.
4
You have a say-so in that.
5
you can decide to be rich and with God's help is highly doable
6
but you first have to think it the difference between successful people
7
and non successful people is here I'm no better than none
8
of y'all I'm not a better person than you I'm not
9
a better Christian than you God don't love me more than you none of that But if you want to be successful,
10
you have to change this.
11
This has to change.
12
Listen to me.
13
It's not what makes it hard is your lack of belief that it can happen for you.
14
The fact of it is, though, it's very doable.
15
See, but you gotta change though.
16
If you keep doing what you been doing, you gonna keep getting what you been getting.
17
So if you're at a place in your life and you ain't happy with it, you have to change some things.
18
But you have to make a conscious decision that you're going to change.
19
And it's not dependent on anybody else.
20
It don't matter what your mama think, it don't matter what your coworkers think, It don't matter what your siblings think.
21
It don't matter what your children think.
22
It don't matter.
23
They have nothing to do with it.
24
This decision is yours and yours alone.
25
It's two people born in a hospital every day.
26
It's a person that's born in a hospital that's gonna get a job, and somebody born in a hospital that's gonna give them a job.
27
You get to decide which one you gonna be.
28
You get to decide.
29
Let me tell you something.
30
You get to decide if I'm gonna be rich, poor, mediocre, plentiful, happy, sad.
31
You have a decision to make.
32
Your mind, all right, here we go.
33
This is a teaching moment.
34
Let me give you this so you can get on with your 2019.
35
You walk in the house.
36
you pick up the remote control.
37
Let me teach you how this works.
38
And you press the power button.
39
When I told you 2019 will be the best year of your life, but you have to claim it,
40
you have to expect it to be the best year of your life.
41
You have to live your life with the expectation that great things are coming your way.
42
And that's how it works.
43
Now let me teach it to you.
44
You grab your remote, you press the power button.
45
What do you expect to happen?
46
You expect the TV to come on.
47
Guess what?
48
It come on.
49
If you want to see SportsCenter, SportsCenter channel 46, and you press four six and okay or select,
50
what do you expect to come on your TV?
51
SportsCenter, and guess what?
52
Show up.
53
SportsCenter.
54
They got the concept of creating a remote from the Bible.
55
See, God is tied to all of this.
56
You better understand what I'm trying to tell you now.
57
The Bible says, a man is as he thinketh.
58
God created us in his image.
59
God thought of this world.
60
He thought of it, so he created it.
61
So he made you just like him, that your thoughts can create things.
62
He made you just like him.
63
Now you can't go make earth and heaven like he did, but you can make a better world for yourself.
64
There is a scripture, Habakkuk 2 and 2.
65
It says, write the vision and make it plain, so that he who reads it will run to it.
66
And even though it tarry, tarry mean take a long time, wait for it, for surely it will come at an appointed time.
67
That's in the Bible.
68
That ain't in the rich people's copy.
69
That's in everybody's Bible.
70
The problem is everybody don't do it. But it's right there.
71
But you gotta do it.
72
I'm just telling you, if you don't do it, it's too hard.
73
It's almost impossible.
74
That vision board has changed.
75
Everything I put on my vision board, I get.
76
Everything.
77
Now, you have to understand something.
78
It's not going to come when you want it to come.
79
It comes at an appointed time.
80
That's the trick.
81
But the appointed time is what throws people off.
82
Because most of you, see, when you ask God for something, he sends it, he ships it immediately.
83
As soon as you ask him something, you really believe he'll do it, He boxes it up and he ships it to you immediately.
84
The problem with the package is he never gives you the date that the package is going to arrive.
85
He doesn't do that He doesn't do that
86
Because if he told you the date
87
that the package would rely would arrive it would destroy the requirement He has of all of us which is faith
88
Faith is the belief in things that you cannot see so
89
if you ask God for a million dollars
90
and he tell you I'm gonna give it to you in
91
March of 2020 you wouldn't need no faith you'll be talking to people crazy
92
because you know in 2020 I'm finna be a millionaire
93
but he sent a million soon as you ask for
94
but it's going to come at an appointed time the problem is people stop waiting on the package then
95
when it get to you because he delivers only to Faith Street
96
when he delivers to you on Faith Street
97
but you done stepped off of faith street you over here
98
on i don't see house circle he don't ship there instead
99
of staying on faith street you just stepped over here to i don't believe it boulevard
100
or it took too long avenue
101
then the package come to faith street is just like the post office in fedex if you ain't there to receive it, it gotta go back.
102
That's how it work, man.
103
You have control of this.
104
This belongs to you.
105
This is yours.
106
You're the captain, you're the master, you're the foreman, you're the general, you're the head.
107
Don't give control of this to nobody, especially the devil.
108
Do not let Satan come in here and function and operate because he has one mission, to keep you off course,
109
to make you not think it's possible, to make you think that God don't hear you.
110
His job is only to destroy you, to make sure that you don't become what God intended for you to become.
111
That's the mission of the devil.
112
Now, if you don't believe in the devil, this conversation ain't for you.
113
If you don't believe in God, this conversation ain't for you.
114
I'm not talking to you.
115
I'm talking to people who are spiritually based.
116
If you get control of this, that's why I'm telling you these two books.
117
Look, the best book you can read is the Bible.
118
If you read the book of Proverbs over and over and over, it's the book of wisdom and understanding.
119
It would really help your life, man.
120
If you just read, I'm gonna be honest with you, that's the only book in the Bible I've read cover to cover.
121
I've only read the book of Proverbs.
122
I've read some scriptures every now and then.
123
I only know five or six scriptures by heart.
124
I'm just gonna be real with you.
125
But I've memorized them five or six scriptures, and them five or six got me here today.
126
I know a lot of people that know the Bible inside out, ain't got nothing to show for it.
127
You know why?
128
Because they memorized it, but they didn't apply it.
129
I have applied six scriptures to change my life.
130
But these books that I told you about, The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale, and The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz, You know what it does?
131
It just teaches you how this works.
132
Once you get this, y'all, you can change everything.
133
Do you understand negativity?
134
Let me just give you this and I'm gonna walk away.
135
Negativity, you can protect yourself from negativity.
136
And that's what stops most people, negative thoughts.
137
You can coat your mind from negativity.
138
It's a real simple exercise to do.
139
I do it every morning before I walk out the door.
140
So I walk out as a positive person.
141
You know, I get tired sometimes.
142
That's different from being negative.
143
Because I get mentally drained from my job at times.
144
But to coat your mind from negativity, the way you can put a coating around your mind is with one simple thing, gratitude.
145
Gratitude erases negativity.
146
I'm gonna show you how this works.
147
If you wake up in the morning and you start having negative thoughts, Man, this ain't my day.
148
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
149
I'm tripping, I just don't feel myself.
150
Every time you feel, in the middle of the day, if you feel yourself doing that, stop.
151
Just stop for a second.
152
And start going over in your mind everything you have to be grateful for.
153
Not everything you want.
154
Everything you already have.
155
Because what you have is substantial.
156
You just haven't gone over the list and taken inventory in a long time.
157
But the fact that you can walk, that's a blessing.
158
The fact that you woke up, that's another blessing.
159
The fact that you can see, think, reason, that's another blessing.
160
The fact that you can go somewhere and get yourself something to eat, that's another blessing.
161
The fact that you can go and turn a key and call someplace home, that's another blessing.
162
The ability to dream is a blessing.
163
The fact that you have an opportunity to get it right is another blessing.
164
The fact that you're beautiful, that's another blessing.
165
The fact that you have any measure of health, that's another blessing.
166
And I'm just talking to you, I don't even know you.
167
I could give you 50 things you ought to be grateful for right now, I don't even know you.
168
Start coating your mind with gratitude, it'll change everything for you.
169
God is good, man.
170
You ought to give him a chance to work in your life.
171
Thank y'all for coming.
172
Thank you.

Speaking Goals for This Clip: Build Confidence in Persuasive Speech
This video is perfect for practicing shadow speak to master conversational rhythm and persuasive tone—key for IELTS speaking practice and real-world communication. You’ll learn to deliver bold, confident statements, a milestone for fluency in expressing personal beliefs and motivating others.
Phrase Bank: Reusable Expressions for Impactful Speaking
- “It’s not a magic trick” – Dispel myths concisely.
- “You have a say-so in that” – Emphasize personal agency.
- “Highly doable” – Convey achievable optimism.
- “Lack of belief” – Identify a common barrier.
- “Conscious decision” – Stress intentional action.
- “Live with the expectation” – Encourage proactive mindset.
Fix Your Weak Spots: Rhythm and Stress in Casual Persuasion
The dialogue uses short, punchy sentences and repetitive structures (“It don’t matter what…”) to build momentum. Practice shadowing to mimic the speaker’s stress on key words like “you,” “decide,” and “expect”—this creates emphasis, a critical skill for engaging listeners. Notice how pauses after phrases like “Listen to me” slow the pace, making ideas clearer. Use a shadowing site to record yourself and compare: are you stressing the right words? Is your rhythm natural, not rushed? This video is a goldmine for learning to speak with conviction, whether for IELTS speaking practice or everyday conversations. Remember: learn English with YouTube by focusing on how the speaker connects ideas—then replicate that flow in your own speech.
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
