1
have you been trying to manifest something
2
but then you think it's not coming it's not working i'm here to tell you what you're doing wrong
3
and that's simply that you do not get what you wish
4
you get what you prepare for let me give you an example that happened recently
5
i met one of my subscribers and the way i met her was really crazy
6
because i was in korea
7
and i basically walked into a hair salon this girl saw me
8
and she's like oh my god liz and i was like yes
9
and she started shaking and she's like i've been listening to your manifestation song
10
and i've been literally saying the only thing i would want to manifest is to run into liz
11
and she was literally like i'm shaking right now the fact
12
that you're in front of me right now
13
and then i was like yeah well you prepared for being able to meet me
14
and she let that go because she told me she was like trying to manifest
15
so hard then she came to a point where it's like you know it'll just happen whatever
16
and she let it go and she said like this morning it just happened
17
and this is such the misconception that people have about manifestation
18
because they always think like okay i should just like obsess about it
19
and constantly try to do it whatever but the more you do
20
that the more you push away the manifestation
21
because the whole problem here is that a person that already has
22
that thing that they want they're not desperate for it they just know what they want and they know it will come.
23
So they have a detached kind of mindset of it but they still work for it.
24
For example, why do rich people get richer?
25
Because they have already unlocked a reality where they can attract a lot of abundance and a lot of money.
26
So for them they're not stressing about money,
27
they're not thinking I need to save,
28
I need to do this, whatever.
29
No, they're thinking oh I'll make more,
30
I'll make more, more money will come and it just keeps coming to them
31
because they're not constantly running after it same thing
32
if you're trying to manifest like a boyfriend love whatever the
33
more you run after something the more it will run away
34
from you what you should do is like okay i am
35
gonna invest in myself i'm gonna make myself the person
36
that i want to be and the person that is ready to receive
37
that manifestation because a lot of you guys always are like oh
38
but i want to manifest love oh but i want to manifest being famous
39
or whatever this and that are you really ready for
40
that thing when it comes
41
because a lot of you guys are not really ready for love
42
when it comes because you still have some unhealed patterns
43
or you don't really love yourself or the way
44
that you look yet and you just want to look a certain way
45
or whatever and you want to invest in that
46
so you're like a relationship will really hinder this right now
47
because i want to focus on myself right now
48
or you're like oh i want to be famous this and
49
that are you ready to deal with all of that hate
50
or will you crumble at one hate comment
51
because it comes with a lot of bullying that you'll have to accept
52
or they're like oh i'm ready for
53
so much money right now you know how to handle
54
that amount of money because a lot of people
55
that get a lot of money in one go they just spend it all
56
and they lose all of their money because they're not used to
57
that so you really have to become the person
58
that is ready to receive those things and how you become
59
that is by building discipline you really have to put in
60
the work in everything you do you have to be consistent
61
you have to keep showing up no matter what you do and you have to put your heart in it.
62
Like a lot of people don't accomplish what they want
63
because their heart is so blocked and you literally manifest from your heart.
64
Like for example, if someone went through a really big breakup, right?
65
And suddenly they don't believe in anything anymore they hate everyone
66
blah blah what happens is you block off your heart now
67
if your heart is blocked you cannot attract abundance
68
and love you need to work on reconnecting with your heart
69
and how you do that is you can meditate on it you can visualize your heart opening up again
70
you can ask God to help open up your heart again in order for you to receive abundance,
71
to receive love.
72
And once you feel that when you are working,
73
when you are doing something,
74
it's coming from the heart,
75
you will always have money.
76
Always.
77
Another thing to attract abundance is have no shame.
78
Shame and fear is what blocks all abundance.
79
That's why the government, all these people are always instilling fear
80
and people are always trying to shame each other the only reason why people accomplish things
81
and the other ones don't is because the ones
82
that do have no shame they do not care they put
83
themselves out there they are brave enough to let themselves get judged
84
and they get all the blessings for that
85
because they are different like i was talking to a friend of mine
86
and they were like yeah you know i'm always wanting to do this
87
and i wanted to make these type of videos
88
and i was like yeah then do it then they're like yeah i don't know
89
and i was like see this is the problem you think too much you don't do enough
90
if you just do
91
and then later you think about it at least you have
92
put something out there at least you have put a creation out there
93
that people can benefit from and every single thing
94
that someone can benefit from or
95
that you have helped someone from you will get back 10 times i promise you
96
that anything you have done with pure intentions will come back to you tenfold every single time
97
if this is the problem with overthinking people perfectionists whatever you think about it
98
so much to a point that all of your ideas
99
that you already had are going to other people and they go
100
and they do it you know michael jackson had this thing
101
where he said like anytime i get an idea i immediately act on it
102
because if i don't then prince is going to take it
103
and he's going to do it and it sounds crazy
104
but it's true i've had so many ideas
105
and i really believe god is sending me ideas
106
and then the times that i don't act on it i see
107
that someone else has done it and i'm like damn like i wanted to do
108
that but it's like yeah liz you had your shot
109
but you didn't all of these people are like put in such a fear mentality they care
110
so much about their reputation like at the end it's gonna bring you nowhere none of
111
that is going to bring you anywhere all these oppressed people
112
with shame instilled in them are projecting all of their shame onto you
113
and they're like oh you should care about your reputation oh this is embarrassing this
114
and that but they are not going to accomplish anything themselves
115
because it's like people that have never accomplished anything are saying to you how you should act
116
but it's like i don't want to be like you you
117
have done nothing with your life you really have to look at yourself
118
and be like do i want to live like them they
119
have no money they're always complaining they're always hating on people
120
no i don't i would much rather have freedom do whatever i want to do
121
and have the abundance that i want to have
122
so you have to step into the version of you
123
that is that person and see the problem is you guys engage too much with negativity
124
and this negativity is sent here to hold you down to
125
hold you literally the 3d world you're not connecting with god
126
or higher source because you're so stuck here on earth with these low vibrational people
127
that are feeding you feeding you all this negativity and drama so that you won't
128
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and
129
that means it's the perfect time to prioritize taking care of your mental well-being just as much as your physical health.
130
It is also a reminder that you don't have to go through anything alone
131
because with today's sponsor BetterHelp there's someone who's always with you and someone who's trained to listen.
132
Becoming a mother was a major life change for me
133
and with that I needed to have more tools than ever to help manage with my stress.
134
I realized that trying to cope with it on my own was going to be a challenge.
135
So I realized that therapy was going to be the best answer for me.
136
Therapy taught me coping tools to help me feel more grounded and in control.
137
Like taking time for myself each morning to ground before I start my day.
138
It's important to remember that with therapy you don't have to go through anything alone.
139

152
alone better help is here with you you have to think
153
to yourself okay is this thing helping me it's what i'm indulging in every single day helping me
154
if it's not what are you doing like if you wake up
155
and you look all these negativities what are you doing to
156
your brain what are you doing to your mind you don't
157
think that's going to manifest into your life of course
158
because you wake up and that becomes your reality especially
159
when you first wake up your brain is in a state
160
of magnetizing it's like in a hypnotic state right before you go to bed
161
when you wake up is like a hypnotic state
162
so what you consume then sticks with you
163
and you might think like oh it doesn't whatever it sticks in your subconscious mind
164
and the way you act all stems from your subconscious mind your reality gets created by your subconscious mind
165
so be mindful you wake up you should always have positive
166
affirmations immediately say what you're grateful for a grateful heart is a magnetizing magnet every time you say oh i'm
167
so grateful to have a bed to sleep in oh i'm
168
so i'm so grateful to have food i'm
169
so grateful to have a phone every time you say that you will see you get more and more.
170
I promise you that.
171
So you just basically have to wake up,
172
you say what you're great for,
173
and you just start your day by saying good things are coming,
174
good things are here, and you're preparing for good things to come into your life.
175
You're not preparing for misery.
176
Now, if you go on social media and you're just watching bullshit,
177
you're preparing for bullshit.
178
Don't do that to yourself.
179
Seriously, like take yourself seriously.
180
You guys don't take yourself seriously enough you think
181
that everything is a joke but at the end of the day you might laugh
182
and do all of these things
183
but at the end of the day you will have nothing to show for it
184
and i really do believe
185
that a lot of social media apps are created to rot your brain on purpose
186
and to make people less intelligent make them more lonely make
187
them fear more people don't create anymore they're just consuming you have to like break away from
188
that you have to become a creator now
189
because like the the gap is just becoming bigger and bigger and it's really sad to see.
190
Like start believing in yourself seriously guys like this is really
191
serious a lot of people online now they're not normal they're really not normal
192
and like there is a point where you have to look at them
193
and be like i don't want to be a part of this anymore i want to be the part
194
that is gonna create abundance for themselves that's gonna create abundance for your family like it is really
195
that deep seriously also believe
196
that people get sent into your life to destroy you like some people will come into your life
197
and their sole purpose is to block you from your purpose
198
and to completely destroy you and i really believe
199
that you should see that for yourself you should look at it
200
and be like if i continue my life with this person
201
I'm gonna ruin my life forever
202
so your cut off game has to be on point
203
and you have to stand on it and you have to go
204
because anytime I've cut someone off
205
because I was like I cannot accept this in my life my life has gotten better
206
but the times I've accepted it
207
and I was like oh you know I'm still gonna feel bad whatever my life started going downhill
208
so fast to a point where I was like i'm gonna lose everything
209
if i continue like this
210
so you have to keep yourself in check you have to
211
be like no no discipline over emotions every single time emotions
212
are fleeting discipline is always there train yourself to not abandon
213
yourself train yourself to always be there for you are preparing for magic to come into your life
214
because it's coming it is coming you know when i got
215
so successful was literally when i saw a reality
216
that i was living in
217
and i was like this is not going to be my reality this is not what i want for myself
218
and i literally started working making a tiktok account start uploading
219
all the time every day i was making like new videos
220
uploading every single day then i started doing like youtube i started doing more
221
and more and all the success came because i was consistent
222
and i was working towards my goal in my head this
223
was going to happen that's it like i was going to
224
help people i was going to have a big platform
225
and i was going to make a lot of money that's
226
it there was no other option for me like i even
227
my sister is like wow liz you know everything you've accomplished is
228
so great and i said you know even
229
if i didn't become the wizard liz
230
and did all of this i would have still been rich either way i would have been rich either way
231
because i had it in me i knew i was going to be rich i knew i was this person
232
so i work towards it and i have it
233
and for a lot of people they don't believe it
234
or they because it's like for them that's not a reality that's not even possible in their head
235
that that would be possible for them so they project
236
that you stop thinking like
237
that like i didn't come from money i didn't come from
238
a great circumstance actually had like a lot of odds against me
239
and i still made it even my english that's not my first language i still have such a big platform
240
so you still regardless of whatever you have against you you can keep going
241
and you can create a really good life for yourself a really good life for your family like
242
if you don't do it for yourself do it for someone you love
243
because that will motivate you but stop indulging in things
244
that will not help you stop being desperate for things
245
that are also not good for you and just accept
246
that you know what if i'm going to detach right now
247
but at the end of the day
248

Why practice speaking with this video?
Engaging with this video offers a rich opportunity to enhance your English speaking skills through the shadowing technique. By listening carefully to how the speaker articulates her thoughts on manifestation, you can replicate her speech patterns and improve your fluency. This method not only aids in improving English pronunciation but also strengthens your ability to express personal aspirations and experiences effectively. As you shadow, you'll practice conveying complex ideas in a coherent manner, a valuable skill for IELTS speaking practice. Furthermore, the relatable anecdotes present in the video can motivate you to engage in conversations about personal growth and goals, making your practice sessions both enjoyable and educational.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
In the video, several key structures and expressions are highlighted that can enrich your English vocabulary. Here are three notable ones:
- "You do not get what you wish; you get what you prepare for." – This structure emphasizes the importance of preparation over mere desire, showcasing a conditional relationship.
- "The more you run after something, the more it will run away from you." – This is an excellent example of cause and effect, useful for expressing similar ideas in your conversations.
- "I came to a point where..." – This phrase can be useful for narrating personal experiences or discussing changes in perspective. It allows you to introduce stories effectively.
Utilizing these phrases in your own speaking practice will deepen your understanding of how to convey thoughts about ambition and emotional readiness, which are vital concepts in English communication.
Common Pronunciation Traps
When practicing with the video, pay attention to specific words and phrases that may pose pronunciation challenges:
- "Manifestation" – The stress in this word is on the third syllable: man-if-es-ta-tion. Practice breaking it down to avoid mispronunciation.
- "Desperate" – Often mispronounced as "desperate" (with 'e' pronounced), it should be articulated as "des-per-it," with an emphasis on the separate syllables.
- "Attract" – Be sure to clearly pronounce the 't' at the end to avoid it sounding like "attract." This is critical for clarity in your speech.
By focusing on these pronunciation details while using the shadow speech method, you’ll enhance your clarity and comprehensibility in English conversations, making you sound more natural and confident.
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.
