You should just stay the same, do whatever you're doing, and don't change because the world needs to accept you as you are. That's why I will never again give you that advice because it's the worst advice ever. The world and people don't owe you anything; we are constantly changing and trying to better ourselves; nobody is the same person they were the day they were born. Therefore, saying, "Oh, don't change yourself, just accept yourself," is just not realistic, and this channel is all about realism, and I dislike sugarcoating things.

Today, we're going to talk about the fact that if you don't like yourself, you have to create another version of yourself. We see celebrities talking about this a lot, like Beyonce, who says every time she goes on stage that her life is in your hands and it will be okay when you make it okay. Your life is literally in your hands, and nobody is coming to save you, not your mom, not your spouse, not your children, and nobody will want your life to change. isn't Beyonce; she's Sasha Feir.

Another excellent example of this is David Goggins, a navy seal who, well, grew up and got him into poverty. He gained a lot of weight, lost it, and ran marathons. This man did amazing things. If you haven't heard of him, check him out. Basically, they all say to create a different version of yourself, and when I heard those stories, I thought, "Wow, that makes a lot of sense," so I began doing the same. Liz, you know herself, she's incredibly lazy and doesn't like to do anything honestly if you ask me.

If I don't want to be the best version of myself, the ideal thing for me would be to go back home, live with my mom, and rely on her financially. I would also like to stay in my room and delete all of my social media because I dislike the attention that comes with it. However, that won't help me, so I made an alter ego. Someone with confidence, someone who uses her platform, someone who pursues her goals, someone who gets up in the morning and goes to the gym regardless of whether she wants to or not because she just needs to get up and do it.

Someone with a very hard mindset who, when told that she is ugly, doesn't look good because I hear things like that every day on social media, created tough skin because she has to take everything in order to achieve what she wants to achieve. If you don't like yourself, you create a different version of yourself, and if you start acting like it, you'll become it. There is no other way, and I don't understand why people say things like, "Oh my god, this is like magic, it's not real, how is this magic?"

This makes perfect sense, but you really need to consider it. How does the better version of yourself appear? What do they wear? Who do they date? Where do they hang out? How do they spend your time? What is their career? Even down to their hairstyle? What is the haircut like, and how does this person appear in your mind? I can't tell you what you look like at your best; perhaps the best version of yourself needs to lose a little weight, or perhaps the best version of you needs to gain a little muscle. You have to see all of these things for yourself.

I can't tell you this because I don't know what the best version of myself looks like; I only know what the best version of you looks like. So, once you have that goal in mind, you know what the best version of yourself looks like, and you have to start working towards it, so you have to start planning your goals. For instance, I'm telling you in my mind that the best version of myself is at her ideal weight. I have a very small frame, and being too skinny doesn't look good on me because, as I previously mentioned to you guys, I had an eating disorder. I looked like I was dying does not look good on me; however, toned looks the best on me, and I know that this is something I can achieve through the gym, fitness, and weightlifting.

Therefore, every day when I wake up and I do not want to go to the gym, I ask myself, "Well, what would the highest version of myself do right now?" The highest version of myself gets out of bed and says, "Thank God for waking me up today, thank you for this blessed day. This day is going to be so good." I began with positive affirmations, put on my gym shoes, and then headed to the gym. The highest version of myself does that every single day, even if I enjoy eating certain foods, like sugary foods, but I always wonder what the highest version of myself would do if she had this dessert because my problem is that sugar makes me break out, get irritated, and not digest it well, so it's really bad for me. I even think I may have an allergic reaction to sugar because I get a rash on my face, so this is really bad for me.

Therefore, the highest version of herself would not eat that dessert; instead, she would take caffeine, such as coffee or tea, which would suppress my craving for sugar. I do that instead because that is what the higher version of myself would do. Similarly, I find it difficult to focus and I don't want to read books at all, but the highest version of herself needs to finish them because she understands that knowledge is essential and that knowledge will get you far in life. I can't stress this enough. The highest version of herself is also very confident, but Liz is shy.

The best version of myself has a platform, and she wants to use it for the better. She wants to use it to help people. This is something I'm very passionate about because right now I was doing this giving advice, making videos, and having my tick tock. I would never ever promote anything because I didn't want my followers to buy something that I didn't use myself, so I would get a lot of questions for it. She doesn't want to go out in public, she doesn't want to talk, she just wants to be ignored in her room safe, and no one can judge her, talk about her, or know anything about her.

I was offered a lot of money for brand deals and emails, but I always turned them down because I either use it myself and promote it or I don't care about the money. That's how passionate I am about this. I did this for a year for free because I love it, and sometimes at night I couldn't sleep because ideas kept coming to me. Oh my god, you have to make this video.

This video is interesting. I'm very creative, so my mind is constantly working, so I enjoy getting up in the morning and developing new ideas, sharing them with you, and conversing with you. You must discover your own passion. I receive messages from people asking me, Liz, what I should do for a living. I can't tell you what your passion is, darling, because even my sister, who is almost my blood, doesn't want what I want because of this. What is something, um, what is my passion and stuff?

Being a public figure, influencer, or even a celebrity is extremely difficult because even the smallest things people notice about you cause them to say things that make you look different in the mirror. You can be the most self-assured person in the world, but when so many people say it repeatedly, you feel like, "Oh my god, is this true? Do I really look like that?" You know you're like a body, and this formula you create in your head is crazy, so you really need to have tough skin for that, and many people don't want this, but I think that God gives us passions because that's what we're meant to do.

He doesn't give you a talent or a passion like that. For instance, why don't you want to climb Mount Everest? You know deep down that it wasn't your passion because it wasn't for you. If you don't have a passion or think you don't consider what you're really good at, would people even pay me ten dollars to do something like that? For instance, I'm very good at giving advice,

When I was five years old, I gave my mom advice about how she should work out her marriage and other things. I have been doing this for a while, and I am good at it. I also speak from the heart when I give advice, so when people ask me for advice, I give it for free. However, you might think that if I say, "Okay, I'll give you advice but send me ten dollars," they would give me 100 because that's how good I am at it. Everyone is good at something, no matter how small.

As for cooking, perhaps you're good at making big pies, selling them, and doing other things like that. Since you're also good at leading a team, why don't you start a management company? Perhaps you're also very interested in social media, but you don't want to be seen, so start a social media business where you make other people famous but you're in the background. You know, these are things you have to think about like, "What am I really good at?" and "Oh no, always be kind to yourself.

That's toxic, in my opinion. Sometimes you need a reality check. For instance, I had a severe depression for two years, and I would not leave my room at all. My mom would come in the morning to see if I was alive and if her daughter was breathing. If I think about it now, it's really difficult for me to even talk about, but that was my reality, and I don't want sympathy or anything like that.

I got over it and became this version of myself, so it's a blessing, but at the time, I remember I used to talk to my mother all the time and tell her that I wanted to help people because I felt so helpless myself. She would say, "What are you talking about?" and "just get nine to five like a normal job what are you talking about youtube social media like are you insane and I didn't even have any social media back then you know." I would respond, "No, mom, I want this i need this i want to help people," and she would look at me and say, "Li, you can't even help yourself." This really hurt .

I remember that after I went up to my room and started crying, I started crying uncontrollably and thought, "Why does she hate me? She's so mean to me and all these things." When I woke up the following morning, I thought, "Wow, my mom is right, how am I trying to help others when I can't even help myself?" and then I remembered that after doing my skincare, I changed my pyjamas once more and went back to sit on my bed, where I was mentally waiting for evening to arrive,

From that day on, I remember making a plan. I thought, "Okay, we have to think what would the better version of me do," and then I started thinking, "Okay, the better version of me would start maybe getting out of her room you know going outside maybe get some fresh air." I would just sit on my bed and wait until it got dark again, but on that particular day, I went to the mirror and looked at myself and thought, "Liz, you're pathetic, you are so pathetic look at yourself these are your youngest years every second you're getting older and you have voices that wasted the last two years in your room doing nothing." I began doing that by going for walks every day, making sure to get my 10,000 steps, and eating healthier. I also started making myself muesli, which I enjoyed doing. After that, I started listening to podcasts and other motivational content. I used to listen to this before, but now I started hearing it.

The most significant thing I have ever done in my life is believe in the law of assumption and believe in God because I began to communicate with him. I used to pray, as I am Muslim, so I used to pray five times a day and all that, but I would just pray and then go to sleep and cry. However, I started praying like I was talking, so I said that every time I prayed, I would sit down and not every time because that's like pushing it and that's too much, but sometimes when I was really depressed, I would say to God, "Look, I don't feel good and this is what I'm feeling right now and I don't know why and and I know you're the only one that can help me."

And you know what, I give it to you, you know what's best for me, then show me how I do it. So, when I started talking to him in that way, I swear that everything I wanted to manifest began to appear in my life because I started talking to God. I saw that you guys were expecting things to happen, but did you ask God or the universe for help? If you don't believe in anything, just ask because you know that you can't expect help if you don't ask for it, and you can't expect good things to come if you can't even accept help from others.

God occasionally sends individuals into our lives to help us grow. If you're always rejecting people and saying, "No, I got it on my own, how will you ever get there?" then you'll keep asking, "God, why don't you help me?" Let go of trying to control everything. I was constantly trying to control everything in my life because I needed control and was terrified of losing it. This stems from early childhood trauma because, when I was younger, I never had control over anything. God says, "I sent you this person, but you dismiss them or dismiss her completely."

I had a parent who always controlled me, and I felt like nothing. As I got older, that made me realise that I needed to control everyone around me and everything that happened in my life because that's all I have. However, when I began talking to God and saw that everything I asked him for was happening, I began to trust him, so I let go of all my desires.

First, I would ask once, and then I would say, "This is what I want," being specific about whether I wanted money, for example. I had to pay the fine. I would specifically ask for help, saying, "I need money for this fine, this is how much I need, please help me." I would also always practise gratitude before going to bed, saying, "Thank you, God, for having a bad sleep and for having food on the table, thank you, God, for um the smallest things." Then, I would talk to him, saying, "Hey, this was my day, this is what happened," even if he were my best friend. I would then say, "Okay, so right now,

When someone leaves my life that I truly want, I know that God knows he's not good for me and that he knows what's best for me, so I really don't stress anymore. I can't even begin to express how much I trust him because I have seen how he works. I have this fine to pay, and sometimes I swear like out of the blue I would get money, and this was like scary stuff, frightening, but then I knew okay, whatever I ask him will happen, and now I trust that it's for my good.

The highest version of yourself would think that if you walked into a room with a meeting, you might think, "Oh no, I'm so nervous, I can't do this," or you have a presentation for school, you might think, "Oh no, I'm so nervous, I can do this," but the highest version of yourself would think, "He has delivered every time I've asked, he hasn't failed, and when I didn't get what I wanted, I got something better instead." So, you need to trust and start thinking that way.

Enter the room and begin talking as if these people are all you know. You know what, whenever you go somewhere, think that everyone is in love with you. Really, do that. That will boost your confidence. You have to tell yourself affirmations like that before you have a big, big project. Look in the mirror and say, "I am powerful, I am amazing, I am going to kill this day." Ask God, "God, please help me to talk better so that I can deliver the best presentation ever." I swear, when you begin speaking, you say,

You've never spoken before since he actually assists you in asking for assistance so that you might get it and recuperate. It's not a straight line; it's painful; it requires accountability; accountability causes guilt because you have to look at all of your past actions; it requires you to look at yourself differently and ask yourself, "Why did I act this way? Why did I do this?" If you're trying to recover from trauma, you'll probably have to relive the trauma in order to do so, which hurts, and you're going to have a lot of bad days as well.

You know, there are days when I wake up and think, "Wow, I really don't like this, I really don't want this," but when you change your perspective, you change your life. On my bad days, I always wonder what the best version of myself would be thinking right now, and I know that she believes that everything is working out for her because she believes in God and the universe, so she knows that this bad day is actually a blessing because without bad days, we wouldn't even know what good days were.

You know, so I'm telling you that when you're trying to get over something or improve yourself, you'll have good and bad days, but it's the process that will make you fall in love with life. For instance, if you want an expensive watch, the watch itself doesn't fulfil you; rather, the process of working towards it and the anticipation that you'll get it tomorrow is what makes you happy, and when you do, you're like, "Oh my god, is this it?" but you forget the entire process beforehand, which is the process is what brings happiness, so you have to look at things like "Wow, I fall in love with the process of getting things"—not the thing itself, but the entire time that takes to get there, the good days, the bad days, everything you take in, and you're like "Wow, I love this process."

You have to go to the gym and watch every day that the scale goes down, and you're feeling better, looking better, and eating healthily, having energy, and drinking a lot of water or what you want to achieve, what your goals are, I could not care less to be honest with you. Show me what you're doing because, for instance, when I first started my social media thing and my stuff, my mom would ask me, "What are you doing? It's embarrassing, you're not accomplishing anything." I mean, I was gaining a few followers, but I wasn't getting anywhere, you know, and now that I'm making money off of this, my mom is one of my biggest supporters because I've shown her what I am capable

I wanted to say, "Yeah, whatever, Liz, whatever you're a little dreamer, whatever you know," but when I'm serious about this and she witnesses me signing contracts and doing this stuff, she says, "Whoa, that's my daughter, and now she supports me." It's just that way, so I'm also getting messages saying, "Yeah, Liz, my family doesn't support me, I don't know what to do now, I don't want to do it." Hey, if you share your big dreams with narrow-minded people, they will never support you because they don't understand, they haven't done it themselves.

Do you think you can do it? The main problem with many people these days is that you want to talk and want to talk before things happen. So why are you putting this evil eye on yourself? I believe in the evil eye, and every time I told someone something, a goal of mine, or anything else before it actually happened, it didn't work out. The reason for this is that people don't know they can ruin you guys, so you have to be more private about your life. You can see that I'm on social media, but I'm private, so I don't want to respond to personal questions.

I don't know who is watching me or praying for my downfall because it's personal. People watch me because they love me, but they are also watching me because they hate me, and I know that. In the end, I believe in the evil eye, so I won't talk about things I want to do before they're done. I'll show you guys that I'm doing it, but I won't talk about it before it happens, which is why a lot of the reasons you guys are failing are because you talk too much.

and you do less. I'm telling you that you don't like yourself, so you start acting like the best version of yourself. You start figuring out what the best version of yourself looks like, smells like, dresses like, what's your career, what your passion is, and everything else. If you don't figure it out, you do it for yourself.

    Amazing!

    This is such a powerful reminder that growth and change come from within. The idea of creating a better version of yourself, even when you're struggling, is both motivating and realistic. It's not about being perfect; it's about being proactive, making intentional choices, and trusting in the process. I love how you emphasize the importance of self-reflection, not waiting for others to save you, and embracing the journey, even with all its ups and downs. The transformation starts when we choose to take action, be consistent, and trust in ourselves. Keep pushing forward!
