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
