Giving a piggyback ride to someone who is 6'3" is crazy.....

so in summary "just do it and then you will start to enjoy it" this describe my experience with every thing I put an effort into. there will always be that barrier of discomfort followed by a layer of enjoyment and then it repeats itself

“DO YOU THINK ITS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE YOU ARENT MOTIVATED, OR ARE YOU NOT MOTIVATED BECAUSE YOU THINK ITS IMPOSSIBLE 🗣️🗣️🗣️”5:40 not the jjk line being of use here 😭.

Dude, the part with gaming 10+ hours every day for years spoke to my soul. I don't think my younger self would've accepted that I was actually bored without any sense of direction. Whenever I couldn't play anymore and didn't have a phone yet, I'd do the most mindless, low effort things like watching TV or hell, playing on a different console. It ended one day because I finally realised I actually wanted to *do* something in life, and yeah long story short this video put it into words. Glad to see you're still enjoying video games in a healthy way!

What is fun is usually not easy! Great content as always!!

These are great lessons and I appreciate the work you do. Using anime to convey positive messages like these to a younger audience is genius. I'm 16, still trying to find ways to mature and be stronger in myself before adulthood. I've watched some of your videos in the past, and while now some of the stuff you say seems like common sense to me, at the time it really helped me understand things I didn't know before. You're doing god's work man

I can relate to this problem quite a lot. I was and to be honest still am addicted to Video Games. Games like Destiny 2 and COD were my lives hobbys. But then I was catching myself, like you sayed, that I wasnt having fun. I was beginning to question myself. I liked the "Hero Moments". When you win against all odds. Winning the 1v5 situation feelt good but I started to ask myself if it was worth the time I put in. I noticed myself starting the games out of habbit and boredom. It was the addiction to the hero moments. That clip that made the past 4 hours worth it. Then I had a accident that ment some time in a hosbital. I felt like a junky to be honest. My body and mind graved the gaming. The rush of the Hero Moment. After that few weeks I knew I could not quit the games like that but I started small. I started to game willingly not out of boredome Then I limeted my time on them by asking myself every hour if I had fun. If I aswered with no I turned of (That was mostly after 1-2 hours). Then I started to play other games. I forced myself to give me the "gaming fix" without the hero moments of my main games And it worked! After 1 hour I simply stoped the game because it was not worth my time. With that free time on my hands I asked myself what would be more anoying. To focus a bit of energy for the gym for a week to try it out or the self loating that I wasnt in the body I liked to have. And that worked to. To be honest I still dont like the gym even after 9 Months but it became a health habbit. I just use the time to hear some podcasts or some YT Videos. So far it worked wonders. I havent played thouse game anymore for more then a hour when friends invide me on the weekend. And I lost 30kg so far (66 pounds)

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I am rlly thankful. We all go through things like this and cant ask other close ppl about it

thanks man i really needed this, you and your channel has done a lot for me, love the vids.

Bangers man, you always catch me when I'm lacking

I REALLY needed this. Thank you

I really love your Channel and the themes you bring up. Keep going like this man!❤

Bro this vid is actually so good thank u

Great explanation❤ To put it simpler, action creates motivation. So just do it.

Excellent video man, loved every second of it!

The concept of this channel is actually so smart.

A similar philosophy is how I started painting minitautres.about 5 months or so ago I had minis to paint but was afraid to start because i wasnt experienced with it,and i was afraid i would ruin the minis by painting them badly and it would be a waste of money. Then i decided to say "screw it. The only way to learn from mistakes is to make them." So i did,and while my first few have not turned out the best, i like to think i have improved with each one i've painted. I've learned not to thin my paints too much. I've learned better ways to hold my mini while painting, and i've learned how to utilize my brush better. It's definitely a learning experience, and one im trying to use with my writing as well, because i want to write a first draft by the end of summer and have a book published on kindle by december

Reos comeback Rins villain switch "where he says im not your younger brother, im itoshi rin" Shidous goal in u20. All things you should do

Wow. This touched my soul. Thank you

Needed this video, thanks

Holy shit, i actually needed this video. Thank you so much

THANK YOU! I miss your work so much!

I usually think of pushing myself into it and overthink as described in this video. The way I overcome this is to think of all of the useful things needed to make the decision, and then think on whether that they impact truly starting it at all. Not in the way I WANT to start something but AT ALL, meaning in terms of planning. Once I answer those questions, I just blindly jump in.

This video is very relatable I have to say your a smart guy

Wait I was waiting for this video😂

This video will change my life forever

Amazing video dude

Love the video 📹 ❤️

Nice vid 👍

Another great way to think about it is for what to do is to instead of thinking about the hard parts is to think about the most fun parts. Like with video games let’s just think of valorant you think about ranking up not getting mad at your teammates. For me I like learning and studying because I think of being able to answer all the questions in the class and getting A’s in the class. With things like tennis I think of being in the heat of a tennis game and being in the moment. For coding I think of making a successful code and listing to Lofi for night vibes. And for the gym I don’t think of having a tough time working out I think about getting a v taper and becoming more athletic.

I like the message but i think that nagi as more the boredom of the genius like everything is too easy so he doesnt have fun because its not difficult for him to do but when he saw and felt that football had people so talented and so much complexity he started enjoying it more

Man I would love for you to do a sort of part 2 to this exploring bokuto from haikyuu’s character if you’ve read the manga him and nagi to me seem like the same coin different sides

Another delicious meal cooked

relating to that gaming problem a lot its been 2 years and i haven't progressed in any thing i am getting average grade in schools i haven't made any new progress and i haven't learnt any new skill thanks for the advice i will try to improve my life from now

Basically its to delay thinking to after starting, things gets better with progress.

Longgggg comment time. I think my favorite part of Nagi's development in the match of Team Z is what he says, and his very obvious mood shift later on in the match. Which, to skim around spoilers of the current manga, they're very, very similar. Now, when I first saw this video in my recommendations I said to myself "I thought his problem wasn't boredom, but merely a lack of motivation for anything." However, you tied in his boredom to his overall choices, and I think that was done well. So good job LFA. Anyway. (Slight Ep. Nagi spoilers ahead.) At his first real interaction with Isagi we hear Nagi say "I really don't get it... I think that if we lacked talent like you guys, we would've quit football a long time ago. Why do you still keep moving forward?" He is playing with Reo in hopes that his promise is fulfilled, that he'll enjoy soccer, and that he'll be thrilled more than any game or nap he could have. But he knows he can make it. He understands he's talented, and he's been treated like a talented player since joining. He knows that his win might as well be guaranteed, and there's no danger in not trying. However, at the look of certain defeat for Team Z, he wonders what pushes Isagi to try for a goal that is seemingly impossible. Why they're able to try for something despite their lack of talent, and why he doesn't try for something despite his own talents. Nagi reaches a dilemma. Now, I don't disagree with the point in the video about him saying "I'm not motivated, it's impossible" and how he likely just assumes the world cup is impossible, but I do believe the wording was right. Nagi is talented. He knows he is. But he isn't one to try, ever. His only purpose for trying is to secure his goal with Reo of getting to the world cup and winning. So, despite his talent, he doesn't try unless it comes down to their dream. He speaks to Zantetsu about how Reo is the first to treat him like a person, one of value and such. All this builds up to his awakening. He sees Reo scared. The talented duo which should have been unbeatable without them trying are now losing to players with seemingly no talent. Nagi notices this and it clicks for him. He understands that in order to win, in order to achieve this dream he shares with Reo, he needs to try for once. He's not certain it'll work, and there's no guarantee for him that it will. This is when he buys onto Isagi's and even Team Z's reasoning for trying despite certain failure. He gets why they're fighting for their dreams, even if they might not win. Now, the stakes certainly aren't as high for him as they are Team Z, but I believe Bachira's comment of "If we lose here, then that just shows that's all we were worth" somewhat hit him too, or at least Reo which Nagi witnessed. This is when the awakening begins. Reo is sweating, Nagi understand this uncertainty, but he *wants* to try it. Everything makes sense to him, slowly, but I believe it does. Ego's comment, Isagi's motivation, his dream, his ego, it all makes sense to a degree. And it's described beautifully. "'I want to test myself.' This impetus known as 'Curiosity'." Even in the face of uncertainty, he realizes he can't win unless he tries. He realizes Team Z's efforts outclassed just talent. Ego is even later quoted in a meeting saying "Actual talent is having the fortitude to prove one's own abilities." Which I believe is a hint to Nagi's growth, and why Team Z was doing so well that match. They're (Team Z) not necessarily born with gifts, they're not insanely special, they're not geniuses, but they push through the challenge and try to win even if there's little hope. Nagi never had it till that moment. But similar to a motivational speech (ironically), he thinks to himself "What could I do if I tried? If I gave 110%?" And it's executed in a perfect panel, where it's as though he's floating above everyone (the panel even rotates the scene to express this), trapping the ball, stillness painted beautifully in the air, and he scores what is to this day, one of the best goals of the series. He does so, purely because he tried. And then, and only then, does it click. Only then is it fun for him. I don't think he saw it as impossible at first, I think Ego's words to him of "useless confidence" was implying that even if he's talented, effort is what matters, and he assumes he can be the best without trying, both literally and physically. Nagi assumed it was pointless because in his mind, he was the best, but he didn't want to try purely because he knew this. "I'm not motivated, so it's impossible." He was being honest with this. Could he do it? Yeah, at least to him. But that is exactly what demotivated him. He wasn't challenged in his eyes, and it was boring because there was "No fight" for him in Ego's words. I could go on, but I'd just be restating the entire scenes lol. I honestly think the only thing that is confusing of Nagi's ego is when we see Episode Nagi and his match with Barou. Because it's not brought out by the game itself, but because of Barou's trashtalk to him and Reo. It'd be interesting if we ever get more in it in the future. Thanks for reading my TEDtalk :)

I wish you had more views

I feel like this every day😮‍💨🤣

That literally use to be me I would work come home and played video games till I went to bed finally. Finally after always feel sad everyday because I would do nothing on my day off I decided to go to college to challenge myself because I never had that challenge in high school because I would always calculate how much I needed to pass or maintain my grade lol. Let’s just say some finals I wouldn’t even read the questions just shade the bubbles so I could play on my phone

Whats crazy is that I wanna start a youtube channel and all of those questions are going through my head now 😂

If I could afford it, I'd definitely join your Patreon

Hmmm Well, I think the way he get interested in football is the same as Tsukishima in Haikyuu

Please do an episode on Ashita no Joe!

So throw yourself into things you know is good or fun for you and try it for a bit longer than the initial first tries

The utube app still skips vids by a few seconds smh

WE NEED LESSONS FROM ANIME DR. STONE!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

I prefer when you make videos for intermediates or even advanced. Begginer advice is well, begginer. Obviously making videos on the former is harder but probably more fulfilling haha

my story seems unreal: I m so smart I did an IQ test (I dont think it real btw) I got 160 ,everything is easy to me so I just get bored at school and even sleep some times but still get the best grades so some times my mind tell me why you even going to school why you even need to work if every thing is easy ,but I got great friends that what make me happy that what make still alive A REAL THANKS TO THEM but still my mind thinks in negative ways I tough this video will help me but it didint. thx anyway for reading my boring life

well in the manga uhhh

Are you good in league

Attack on anyone nice 😂

Yea what is said is a bit of hassle

4:33 I see

I dont realy think that someone "average" are realy bored. Not in a term of everything is to easy. I think its mostly that the people are scared to Do something stressful/challenging. Procastination about homework, learning, cleaning, maybe even Sport, are all task that are challenging and that most cant just Start with it. Instead of the challenges, its gaming, its scrolling. All where you get also a kind of achievment.

second

Mmmm i think there wasnt very good material for nagi.

This is a terrible video you didn't explain anything
