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

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

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

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

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

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

You get to feel the taste of sweet victory

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

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

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

But don't let all that talk intimidate you

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

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

Go to school or work by a different route

Clean up your room! That always works for me

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...

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

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

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
