1
Somewhere between childhood and now, we learned how to measure our lives in milestones.
2
First day of school, last day of school, first job, first promotion, marriage, house, kids, you know the list.
3
And it can feel really overwhelming when we're not ticking those boxes when we're supposed to.
4
It can feel like everyone is moving forward and we're just falling behind.
5
Recently, I've been thinking a lot about how we define success
6
and what that looks like now versus what I thought it would look like a couple years ago.
7
And it made me realize that this is something I should probably revisit every so often because as life changes,
8
the way we measure it sort of has to change too.
9
So there's that anyways i'm having family over tomorrow
10
and i'm pretty excited it's our first big family gathering in a
11
while i have a couple of things
12
that i need to get done today before that happens um it's a
13
that is a plan that is the plan for today i try so hard to grow
14
like a flower out of concrete And I,
15
I try so hard for you to know that I go for you,
16
my love
17
This train of thought first happened
18
when I was thinking of ways I had measured progress throughout my life When I was a kid, I did sports.
19
I would measure it by medals or moving up in lessons But after graduating, I stepped away from competing,
20
and I was at a sudden loss as to why I felt the way that I did.
21
And at the time, I didn't realize that I had lost the main indicator of my measure of progress, and subsequently, success.
22
It got me thinking, maybe all of us have these markers we lean on without even noticing.
23
And when they disappear, it can feel like the ground has shifted beneath us.
24
But realizing this allowed me to look at things differently, and reevaluate what progress and success look like now, in relevance to my life currently.
25
If you keep measuring your current life with a definition you picked up at 16 or 21, it's going to feel like you're falling behind, even when you're not.
26
So when things start to feel off, it's easy to assume something's wrong, without realizing the definition you're using might just be outdated.
27
Oftentimes we feel behind because we're not where we think we should be at this point in time.
28
But what we don't see is that where we're at now is preparing us for what's ahead.
29
making your own way in the world is exciting you know what you want and you're going for it
30
but when everyone around you seems to be following a clear -cut path it's really hard not to wonder
31
if you're the one doing something wrong
32
I remember in the early years of pursuing YouTube I was always wondering why it just wasn't happening for me yet.
33
It was frustrating and to add to my already growing doubt, I had friends that were already moving on with the next chapter of their life.
34
It felt like everyone knew their path
35
and I was still trying to find my way
36
but there was something in me that wanted to stay the course and so I pursued the path and looking back now,
37
everything I learned along the way was so necessary and contributed in some form to what I do today, even if it felt like a detour at the time.
38
The more I think about it, the more I think that 8 billion people can't be on the same path, right?
39
Like how would that work?
40
We're all different, we can't all like the same things, or hit the same milestones at the same time.
41
Some get married young, some never want to at all, others become nomads and call the world home, some are happy building a quiet life as hometown heroes.
42
You're allowed to choose your own adventure.
43
Not just once, but over and over and over again.
44
I find that we often feel behind because we have this idea of how something should have been.
45
But seldom does it happen like that.
46
And I think that's where a lot of the doubt comes from.
47
Not knowing whether we're stuck, or just standing at the edge of a new idea of what success looks like.

Why Practice Speaking with This Video?
This video is a goldmine for English learners—its warm, conversational tone makes it perfect for practicing real-life speaking. The speaker shares personal stories and reflections, creating a natural context for topics like life goals and self-doubt. Practicing with it helps you build fluency in expressing emotions and opinions, which is key for IELTS speaking practice and everyday conversations. Plus, the relaxed pace is ideal for shadowspeak (repeating phrases aloud as you listen), a technique that trains your mouth and brain to work together. Whether you’re learning English with videos or prepping for an exam, this dialogue will make you feel like you’re chatting with a friend—no stiff textbook phrases here!
Grammar & Expressions in Context
The video is full of useful structures to master. Notice how the speaker uses “It can feel like…” to describe emotions (“It can feel like everyone is moving forward”). This is great for IELTS speaking practice when explaining feelings. Another gem is “the more… the more…” (“The more I think about it, the more I think…”), which adds depth to comparisons. Also, “allowed to” is used to encourage (“You’re allowed to choose your own adventure”)—a polite way to talk about permissions. Finally, “even if” softens contrasts (“even if it felt like a detour”), a must for fluent speech. These phrases aren’t just grammar—they’re tools to sound natural.Common Pronunciation Traps
Improve English pronunciation by tackling tricky words here. “Milestones” has a silent “e” and stress on the first syllable—don’t say “mile-STONES.” “Subsequently” is a tongue-twister; break it into “sub-se-quent-ly” to avoid rushing. The speaker also uses casual contractions like “it’s” and “I’ve”—listen closely to how they link words (“I’ve been thinking” becomes “I’vebin thinking”). These are perfect for the shadowing technique: repeat the phrases slowly, matching the rhythm. With practice, you’ll sound more like a native, whether you’re using these for shadowing technique drills or real conversations. Ready to start? Hit play, pause, and repeat—you’ve got this! Every shadowing session brings you closer to confident, clear English.Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
