1
Hello friend, I'm Hope, and I'm really glad you're here today.
2
Welcome to English with Hope, a calm space for your mind and your heart.
3
In this channel, you don't have to be perfect, you don't have to rush.
4
Here we learn English slowly, we listen English gently, no pressure, no stress.
5
And here, you are not alone.
6
Wherever you are in the world, I'm right here with you.
7
So, relax your shoulders, take a slow breath, and let's begin.
8
Maybe you are sitting on your bed right now.
9
Maybe you are looking out the window watching the sun go down.
10
And there is a feeling in your heart, a heavy feeling, like a gray cloud.
11
You think to yourself, what did I do today?
12
You look at your phone.
13
You see people doing big things.
14
You see people traveling, working, laughing.
15
And then you look at your room.
16
It is quiet.
17
It feels like nothing happened.
18
You feel like you wasted the sun.
19
You feel like you wasted the air.
20
And it hurts, doesn't it?
21
Can you feel that weight in your chest?
22
That little voice that whispers, you are failing.
23
You are losing time.
24
You are wasting your life.
25
I want you to take a breath with me.
26
A very slow breath.
27
In and out.
28
It's okay to feel this way.
29
You are not the only one.
30
Sometimes we think life is a race.
31
We think if we are not running, we are losing.
32
But what if just for a moment you stop?
33
What if the day wasn't wasted?
34
What if the day was just quiet?
35
Can you feel the air on your skin right now?
36
Is it warm?
37
Is it cool?
38
Just feel it.
39
We worry so much about the future.
40
We worry about the grand life.
41
But life is not always grand.
42
Sometimes life is just a cup of tea.
43
Sometimes life is just staying alive, and that is enough.
44
Have you felt that weight before?
45
The weight of thinking you should be someone else.
46
You should be further ahead.
47
I want to tell you something.
48
A secret.
49
Time is not a bank account.
50
You don't spend it.
51
You live it.
52
Even when you are resting.
53
Even when you are sad.
54
You are living.
55
You are not a machine you are a human
56
and humans need to be still like the trees in the
57
winter the trees don't grow in winter they just stay they
58
wait are they wasting their time no they are gathering strength
59
deep in the dark ground their roots are getting stronger maybe just maybe you are in your winter right now
60
and that's okay.
61
It's more than okay.
62
We live in a world of noise.
63
Everywhere we look, someone is telling us to go, be better, do more, don't waste a second.
64
They call it the grand life, a life of big achievements, a life of constant movement, but I think this is a lie,
65
a very loud, very heavy lie.
66
We see pictures of people always smiling, always busy, and we think that is what a life should look like.
67
We think if our life is small, it is not valuable.
68
If we don't have a big job or a big house or big stories, we are wasting our potential.
69
Do you ever feel that pressure?
70
The pressure to be big.
71
What if I told you that the small moments are the real life?
72
The way the light hits the floor, the sound of the rain, the feeling of a soft blanket.
73
These things are not wasting time.
74
These things are the heart of life.
75
The grand life is often very tired.
76
The grand life is often very lonely.
77
Sometimes, we chase a version of ourselves that doesn't even exist.
78
We want to be the perfect you, the one who never gets tired, the one who is always productive, but that person is a shadow.
79
They are not real.
80
You are real.
81
Your tiredness is real.
82
Your need for rest is real and your small life is enough what
83
if it's okay to just rest right now what
84
if your only job today was to breathe think about a
85
flower a flower does not work it does not try to
86
be grand it just opens it just is does the flower waste its life
87
because it doesn't run because it doesn't make money no it is beautiful
88
because it exists you are like that flower your value is not in your work.
89
I remember my grandfather's house.
90
It was a very old house, full of shadows and soft dust.
91
In the hallway, there was a tall clock, an old wooden clock.
92
It made a very loud sound.
93
Tick, tick, tick.
94
As a child.
95
That sound scared me.
96
It felt like a giant heartbeat.
97
I felt like the clock was chasing me.
98
I felt like I had to hurry.
99
But my grandfather, he was never in a hurry.
100
He would sit in his chair, watching the garden for hours.
101
He didn't look at the clock.
102
He looked at the birds.
103
He looked at the rain.
104
One day, I asked him, Grandpa, aren't you worried?
105
The clock is moving so fast.
106
Aren't you wasting your time?
107
He smiled at me.
108
He said, hope.
109
The clock is just a machine.
110
It measures time, but it does not know life.
111
The bird in the tree does not have a clock.
112
The flower in the grass does not have a schedule.
113
They are not wasting anything.
114
They are just being.
115
We think the ticking clock is a warning, a warning that we are losing.
116
But time is just the space where your life happens.
117
It is not your enemy, it is your home.
118
I want to talk about a word that makes us tired.
119
Productivity.
120
We are told that our value is equal to our work.
121
If we do ten things today, we are good.
122
If we do zero things, we are bad.
123
We treat ourselves like a phone battery.
124
We are only useful when we are at 100%.
125
But you are not a phone, you are a human being.
126
A machine has a purpose to produce.
127
A human has a soul.
128
Think about a sleeping baby.
129
The baby does nothing.
130
It does not work.
131
It does not earn money.
132
It just breathes.
133
And yet that baby is the most valuable thing in the world.
134
We love the baby just because it exists.
135
When did you forget that you are still that baby?
136
When did you start demanding a price for your life?
137
You might think that everyone else has a plan, that everyone else is waking up early,
138
but behind the closed doors of every house there is someone like you someone wondering
139
if they are doing enough the internet is just a highlights
140
reel it is not the whole truth the truth is most
141
people spend their days just trying to be okay we don't
142
need a big plan to change we don't need to fix our whole life by tomorrow what
143
if we just decided to be kind to our own hearts for just five minutes.
144
Start with your body.
145
Touch the fabric of your shirt.
146
Drink a glass of water slowly.
147
Listen to the sound of the world.
148
These are the small anchors.
149
They hold you to the earth.
150
You have been traveling a long road, a road made of shoulds and musts.
151
But look around you.
152
The road is ending here.
153
You are allowed to just stop, to put down your heavy bags, to come home to yourself.
154
You are not waiting for your life to start.
155
It is happening in the way you listen to my voice.
156
A wasted life is only a life where we forgot to notice that we were alive, but you are noticing now, and that changes everything.
157
Remember the tree in the winter.
158
Remember the baby.
159
You have everything you need.
160
You are exactly where you are supposed to be.
161
Take this feeling with you.
162
Put it in your pocket like a smooth, warm stone.
163
Thank you for sharing your time and your heart with me.
164
Goodbye, friend.
