  • Hey guys, what's up?

  • If you think your life sucks...

  • If you're not getting what you want

  • If you think life is boring, and you're tired of your day-to-day routine

  • If you think life is sucking out all your energy

  • Then you should seriously consider stop doing what you're doing

  • To be more specific, stop doing the things that aren't working out for you

  • Either it's the way you study

  • the way you work

  • the way you run a business

  • the way you treat your parents, your children, your wife, your husband

  • the way you run your life, the way you perceive the world

  • If it's not working out for you

  • If you've been doing it for years and nothing's changing, or things are even getting worse

  • Then why keep doing it?

  • There is a difference between persistence and plain stubbornness

  • And I believe your intuition can tell which is which

  • However, the challenge is-- it is never easy to start something new

  • There's always going to be some struggle, and that might get you cold feet

  • That might tempt you into turning back to your old ways

  • I've noticed when young soccer players are introduced to a new set of skills or concepts

  • it usually takes them time to practice and adapt

  • During the process, players might suffer a temporary drop in performance due to the adaption of the new skill in concept

  • But in time, if they stick to it, their performance catches up and eventually exceeds their original level

  • However, during the adaption period when players performances are temporarily affected,...

  • some players do go back to their previous ways and styles of playing the game

  • Because they feel like they have more control over the ball, they feel like they have more control over the game when they're using their old techniques

  • They never get to reach, and needless to say, surpass that peak where they could have ascended and upped their game to a whole new different level

  • It is such a shame

  • But to be real, that is what separates the good from the average players

  • One of the things I've learned from being a YouTuber is-- What worked for me yesterday has no guarantee it'll work for me today

  • And what's working for me today has no guarantee it'll work for me tomorrow

  • The algorithm is always changing

  • The audience is always changing

  • The competition is always changing

  • And thus I cannot sit on my laurels and dwell on my success from yesterday

  • I have to be always changing too, to cope with that

  • Changing is hard. You try, you fail

  • You try harder, you fail harder

  • You try more, you fail more

  • But once you've hit the jackpot. Just that once!

  • You get to feel the taste of sweet victory

  • And you don't just stop there

  • You go on chasing the next high, the next opportunity, the next target

  • In the words of Albert Einstein

  • "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."

  • And to add on to that in my own words

  • Anyone who has never tried anything new has been left out in the past

  • But don't let all that talk intimidate you

  • It's gonna be hard, it's gonna be tough

  • Now that I can guarantee

  • But on second thought, what in life isn't?

  • if it's gonna be tough either way...

  • then why not do it for a cause that you truly believe in?

  • You don't have to make everything happen overnight

  • Start with the small things. Do baby steps

  • Wake up at an earlier time of day

  • Start a new morning ritual

  • Go to school or work by a different route

  • Clean up your room! That always works for me

  • Gives me a fresh mood

  • Talk with people you haven't before

  • Think about things in different ways

  • When I was a kid, I was extremely shy

  • I told myself I had to change

  • I literally told myself, "You need to start talking to other people."

  • So on the first day of junior high school, I forced myself to talk to the classmate sitting next to me

  • You do not know how hard that was for me. I was literally like...

  • "Hi, I'm Joe"

  • "What's your name?"

  • (Uh.... he's looking at me!)

  • But after talking to the kid on my right, I found it wasn't that scary after all

  • So I started talking to the kid on my left

  • And then I talked to the kid sitting in front of me

  • And then I talked to the kid sitting in back of me

  • And by the end of the day, to my surprise, I was elected class secretary

  • Not a big deal, I know...

  • But that was a first for me

  • For a kid like me back then...

  • that was a big deal!

  • New things always bring new results in life, and most of the time surprisingly...

  • good results

  • So think of new things to do or new ways of doing the things that you've already been doing

  • If you're not satisfied with where you are right now...

  • then the worst thing you can do is to keep doing the things you've been doing all along

  • Try new things and new doors will open up for you in life
