Shadowing Practice: watch this before 2026 - Learn English Speaking with Video
Ders oluşturuluyor...
1
The only difference between you and who you look up to is that they have the audacity to dream bigger.
2
If you can think it, it is possible.
3
People have privileges that makes it easier for them to get things.
4
You complaining about it will not change the cards that you're given.
5
Whatever you want, you can achieve it.
6
How impossible is it if other people have it?
7
Hi guys, welcome back to my channel.
8
I know that this video might be a little too late considering the title.
9
I don't know what I'm going to name the title, but I'm thinking about literally the only video you need to watch before going to 2026.
10
This was something that I've been reflecting a lot for myself.
11
And I just want to say I've came a long way with self-love
12
and not having other people's expectations limit me and not caring.
13
But the truth of the fact is that I do care.
14
And I was doing a lot of self-reflection at the end of 2025.
15
And I realized that I prevented myself from doing certain things because of how other people might perceive me.
16
And that is a very toxic trait, Because once you do that, you're living not for yourself, but for the acceptance of others.
17
And I'm like, what would I do if nobody was watching me?
18
If nobody cared and I didn't care what XYZ think?
19
Because at the end of the day, we still have to interact with people, right?
20
There's still going to be people around us.
21
And I do think that I tend to do better alone when I'm by myself because it's just me, myself, and I.
22
But at the end of the day, you still have to interact with people.
23
And sometimes you do think about what those people are going to think of you.
24
And that's a very sucky feeling when you want to do something out of your comfort zone and then you're thinking, okay, so how is XYZ going to think of me?
25
I always say this, that a good mentality to have is to think that people don't care as much as you think.
26
But the truth is that people do judge, which is why I'm making this video, is that do not place limitations on yourself and do not have other people place those limitations on you.
27
So I might just like set up a light because I realized the lighting is really bad so far.
28
Also, I did my makeup slightly different today.
29
I don't know how it looks, but hopefully it looks nice but um don't have other people set limitations on you
30
and also do not set limitations on yourself that is something
31
that is very important it's more harmful than you think because
32
when you look at let's say a celebrity you shouldn't put
33
them on a higher pedestal being like they're better than me
34
they have more value than me like i'm less than them the only difference between you
35
and who you look up to is
36
that they have the audacity to dream bigger one quote that i saw recently was that Society doesn't reward potential.
37
They reward audacity.
38
And that's very, very true.
39
That's why sometimes you see people that you're like, oh, they're super underqualified.
40
Or you might feel like that I am more qualified than whoever that person is.
41
And it might be true.
42
You might be more qualified than them, but you didn't try.
43
The people who are going to succeed are the people who have audacity.
44
Like, yes, everyone thinks, but I do believe that when you think too much, too deeply into something, it paralyzes you.
45
So you might as well just start bad.
46
Start bad at something
47
and yes people are going to judge people might laugh people might make fun of you
48
but the more you do something repetitively when you become
49
so obsessed with something when that's the only thing
50
that you think about you're gonna get better at it
51
so going back to what i was saying
52
that those people who do better than you
53
or who you deem to be doing better than you is
54
because they have the audacity they dream bigger when you have a vision
55
and you want to do something you are going to take
56
certain steps to get there you however are not taking those steps
57
because you don't have the vision to become that
58
because you have a limitation on yourself like i'm only supposed to do xyz what they're doing i cannot do
59
and some of us don't even realize that you put yourself in a box
60
which is why personally for me i don't like labels i don't like labels on me
61
because i find that really restrictive but even though i say
62
that sometimes i do put labels on myself
63
and then i realize i feel so congested i don't feel good
64
and it puts me in a shitty mood
65
when i don't feel good about myself it shows it leaks out everywhere
66
and it makes me feel really really bad and this coming year i'm telling myself that I cannot place limitations on myself.
67
Like I can't be like, I can't do that because X, Y, Z.
68
I can't do this because X, Y, Z.
69
Like those things are for other people to do.
70
I cannot do what they're doing.
71
It's just not possible.
72
Something for me that I want to work on in 2026 is to learn to flow like water.
73
I want to be more adaptable to things.
74
I don't do well with change.
75
That is something that I've realized about myself.
76
I'm trying to be more kind with myself.
77
It's just when change happens, I'm bad at it.
78
I get really anxious about it.
79
Honestly, it's just kind of crazy.
80
Like when I think about it, I'm like, literally girl, it's not that bad, but I get too in my head, which is why having a good support system really matters.
81
Having people who will believe in you, who also see your vision, who don't make you feel so tiny and little, like you're crazy for thinking that, or people who are not competitive with you,
82
and which is also important for you to walk around.
83
Surround yourself with nature because
84
when you are behind four walls you don't see how big
85
everything is sometimes it's good to feel a little bit small
86
than our problems personally for me i like to look at things
87
that are bigger than me as in i like to look at architecture i like to look at buildings
88
that were built a long long time ago
89
because i just realized how minuscule i am like yes feeling small is not always a good thing
90
but sometimes feeling small makes your problem seem small
91
and that's what we need i do just want to say every sort of advice is not black
92
and white there's context to all sorts of advices right
93
so i wanted to make this video
94
because i don't want any of you guys to limit yourself
95
if you like this is the only thing i'm good at this is what i'm capable of
96
and i'm gonna stick with it and i'm never gonna break out of the box
97
and i'm only saying those for those of you guys who want to break out of the box
98
if you want to become something else you can we will have interactions
99
that makes you feel bad about yourself
100
that makes you feel like oh maybe i'm a little crazy
101
for thinking this number one i don't want to put the blame on the people
102
that that you're interacting with
103
because generally those people don't understand they don't see it they're
104
not as ambitious as you they don't see the vision you know i mean
105
so especially now that i'm coming from a broke college student two
106
and a half years ago literally living with four other people
107
with complete strangers in my senior year of college to now
108
where i'm literally i feel like people always ask me what
109
i do i'm a full-time content creator i don't like the label influencer
110
but if you want to call me that you can go ahead
111
but i'm a full-time content creator and
112
when i started this did i feel like i was going to be where i am no
113
but i just wanted it i wanted it i had a vision
114
and i didn't really tell much people but it was just something
115
that i just did and i didn't because i was
116
so isolated from everyone during that period of time
117
because senior year for me in college was a very bad time
118
because i had a lot of self-doubt it was easy for me to be delusional
119
because all there was in my world at
120
that time was just me all i had to do was satisfy me
121
so whatever i wanted i just did it i did it i didn't care what people think
122
because i didn't interact with people but two years has passed
123
and i feel like i'm out of
124
that bubble on campus like in school in that little house in
125
that little room because as you get older
126
and older you see how big the world is it's like you evolve
127
and i get comments where people are like you've changed thank
128
god literally thank god i changed thank god i wasn't
129
that insecure not confident who doesn't believe in herself
130
that girl back then thank god as humans it's important to evolve
131
so if you get those comments from your peers
132
or whatever don't listen to them thank god you change you're supposed to change you're supposed to evolve your goals
133
and whatever is supposed to continuously change i do want to
134
say it's okay for you to be content that's completely fine
135
but for those of my girlies who are just constantly changing
136
and evolving that's also a good thing don't make other people
137
make you second guess yourself majority of people don't i don't want to say i think outside of the box
138
but they do place limitations on themselves
139
because society likes to put limitations on you society likes to put you in a box
140
and i want to say it's a very natural human instinct
141
when people see that you're chasing for something more
142
and they see themselves in you they make you feel bad
143
because you are proof of what they could become but can't
144
so of course misery loves company
145
so they want to pull you down sometimes it's not as a parent they don't even notice
146
that they're pulling you down but they want you to be with them
147
and it's important for you to not surround yourself with them or limit time hanging out with them.
148
It's very important that you hang out with people that share the same vision as you.
149
When you hang out with people, I don't want to call people losers, but some people are losers.
150
But let's just say hang out with people who share the same vision as you, who are equally as delusional as you.
151
And if you are a big dreamer, you have to hang out with people who dream as big as you.
152
That's very important.
153
The people we surround ourselves with, we become them.
154
So you have to choose very wisely who you hang out with, okay?
155
There might be people who you want to be friends with, but those people might not want to be friends with you.
156
And remember, just make sure to not take things personally, because when you go about this life where you are doing something that society is used to, or at least people around you aren't used to, you're going to get judged.
157
And it's going to feel lonely, like especially when you're going against the wave.
158
It might always feel lonely
159
but along the way you're gonna gather like-minded people you're gonna
160
gather people who are just gonna be similar to you who
161
are going to be as ambitious as you who are going
162
to be very hard-working who are going to be uplifting to you
163
but along the way you're also going to meet people who are very insecure who don't want you to succeed
164
and those people might be more successful than you who don't
165
want you to succeed either that's just a way of life
166
which is very important
167
that at the end you do not care about the limitation
168
you do not care what people set you as you know i mean
169
because sometimes when we go about life we have a painted persona we think
170
that this is all i'm good for i'm supposed to just be doing this
171
because that's all everyone expected of me i cannot break out
172
of the box i shouldn't break out of the box
173
when you do want to break out of the box you start thinking
174
but what are they gonna think about me i'm gonna be judged
175
but this is your life this is your life you're only
176
gonna be this young okay you need to get over the
177
uncomfortableness this is supposed to be uncomfortable you have to go through uncomfortable things to evolve
178
and yes it's going to make you feel bad
179
but i always believe that the more uncomfortable you are with certain changes
180
that you're about to make in your life are the most drastic ones are the ones
181
that are going to change your life a lot it takes
182
discipline it takes a certain level of obsession i am not
183
gonna lie i want to be real with you guys it might be unhealthy sometimes
184
but that is something
185
that you have to figure out on your own trying to
186
create like a balance i think it's also very very important
187
that you sit with your thoughts people always get very surprised
188
when i say that i don't always like i like music
189
but i don't need to wake up to music
190
because personally for me there's a lot going up in here i like peace and quiet
191
and i think it's very important for you to know how to be alone how to process your thoughts
192
and really allow yourself to think because if you constantly push things down
193
and down it's going to creep back up and that's not to say
194
that you shouldn't enjoy other people's company a support system is very important okay especially
195
when things get rough it's very important you talk to someone you journal it out
196
because it makes you feel good it makes you feel not that alone
197
and it's scary how quick your mind can quickly become a prison you have to just make sure
198
that you interact with other people and feeling
199
that human connection with other people truly helps trust me on
200
that but it's also equally as important for you to reflect on yourself reflect on things just think about things
201
and don't rely on some sort of escape just sit with your thoughts
202
when you wake up just think i know how hard it gets especially
203
when you feel
204
that pressure you feel like this is literally gonna be the end of the world trust me
205
because whenever i get into the new year i deal with a lot of anxiety
206
because i just feel like time to restart time to do something
207
and i'm the type that also gets less anxious
208
when there are action happening like when i'm in the progress of something
209
when the action of something it makes me feel better
210
which is not always a good thing
211
because i have trouble just like sitting still sitting still like
212
just not doing a single thing i always need to be
213
like thinking about something i always need to be doing something you know
214
but that's something i have to work on
215
but going back to the point of the video just please
216
don't think of yourself as just contained you can be whoever
217
you want you quite literally can become whoever you want
218
and back then i used to think that limitations aren't holding me back
219
but little do i know i did place myself kind of
220
in a box i put myself into acting a certain way
221
and i'm not gonna lie i think
222
that i tend to overcompensate for some things
223
and i think back to my younger self i think i
224
had a strong desire to be liked like i need to be likable i need to be xyz
225
and to do certain things for people to like me
226
and it carried it carries into adulthood
227
and this is something i want to practice coming into the
228
new year just showing up as myself not trying to overcompensate
229
just showing up as myself for those who don't know i do think that
230
when people meet me in person they're like oh you're quieter than i thought you're more reserved than i thought
231
and that is true because i do think that sometimes when I'm filming videos even, I tend to be louder.
232
I tend to be more excited because I just felt like I'm supposed to be that way, you know what I mean?
233
And going into the new year, I do think that I want to embrace not a realer side of me, but a more consistent side of me, I would say.
234
Because of course our emotions always go all around, but I do want to just trying to show up just as me,
235
and I do want to embrace this more quieter side of me.
236
I also want to talk slower because I think sometimes I speed talk.
237
I speed talk because I get anxious.
238
People won't listen to me, but then I'm like, you know what?
239
People listen or they don't.
240
If they don't listen to me because I don't talk slower, then so be it.
241
I just want to feel more me.
242
I want to be me.
243
I just don't want to think about what other people want.
244
I don't want to think about, oh, they want me to do this.
245
They want me to do that.
246
No, I'm just going to do exactly what feels right for me right the second.
247
And I'm just going to embrace that.
248
And that is just something that I want you guys to do as well and whatever you think, if you can think it, it is possible.
249
All we need to do is be just slightly better than the you yesterday.
250
That's basically it, okay?
251
And it's hard.
252
Trust me, it is hard to not compare yourself to others.
253
And I do think that a certain level of comparison is very healthy because it pushes you.
254
Instead of viewing it as a competition, you just see it as an inspiration.
255
Like this is possible what they're doing.
256
Instead of making you feel insecure.
257
Other people's success doesn't diminish your own, okay?
258
Just because other people can have certain things doesn't mean you can't have it too.
259
So that is just something I wanted to tell you guys
260
because I think it's very easy for us to just get inside our head and just think, oh, this is not possible.
261
That's not possible.
262
Please don't do that to yourself.
263
It will create a very miserable life.
264
And when you see other people going for certain things, you're going to be miserable.
265
You're not going to be happy for them because you yourself are not happy with yourself.
266
It is very true that how we feel about things is how we feel about ourselves.
267
If you are happy with yourself, you'll feel happier about things.
268
So it's very important that you live this life for yourself.
269
So going into 2026, I hope that we all just don't give a f* about what other people want you to do.
270
Don't let these limitations limit you.
271
Don't do that.
272
You can achieve anything that you want.
273
Anything that you want.
274
Trust me on this.
275
It's just about you believing in it.
276
You believing in the vision and trusting it and going for it.
277
The people that you want to become or the thing that you want to go for, whatever you want, you can achieve it.
278
Because if other people have it, how hard can it be?
279
How impossible is it if other people have it?
280
You just have to have that level of delusion and audacity.
281
It's very important you have that f*ing audacity to go through it.
282
What differentiates you from that person you look up to is that they dream big.
283
They dream so big.
284
And it's important for you to also just humanize them as well.
285
Don't think of them, oh, they were born pretty.
286
They were privileged.
287
Yes, that is true.
288
People have privileges that makes it easier for them to get things but what is the point of you complaining about it?
289
You complaining about it will not change the cards that you're given.
290
You need to understand that.
291
So instead, it sucks for me to say this, but you just need to suck it up, deal with the cards, whatever it is, run for it, walk towards it, whatever, go in that direction.
292
Just go in that direction and you're gonna get it.
293
But you need to dream big and people will not understand it.
294
People don't have to understand it.
295
It's very important that you don't need other people's permission to go for the things you want
296
because most likely they don't understand it.
297
And that's normal because that just means that you're dreaming so big.
298
But once you get it, then people might say, oh, that was possible, huh?
299
But honestly, it doesn't matter.
300
You don't need to have them understand whatever the heck you're doing.
301
As long as you understand yourself and you believe in yourself and you do it, any single vision you have becomes possible.
302
Any single vision you have.
303
So anyways, that is basically it for this journal entry.
304
I hope this motivated you guys
305
because I generally want all of us to start 2026 on a very very good note
306
so hopefully maybe a year from watching this video you can reflect back on this
307
and be like okay at least i tried
308
and that's an amazing feeling to have at least you tried anyways i hope you guys enjoy this video
309
and i will see you guys all very very soon okay bye guys

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.
