“Your life only begins at the the end of your comfort zone” wow I never heard it said like that, but it makes so much sense! Congrats on 20K again, your vids never fail to motivate me🙌🏾

[@wamyy5]

Yay glad my video spoke to you!! You da best Jayson 🔥💪

[@lennertvermeir7498]

I believe life is really simple, we have to get the best out of our social life (friends, love interest) and our private life (hobbies, travelling, job). Coming out of your comfortzone will increase both :)

[@wamyy5]

Indeed! That’s a great way to look at it :)

[@georgepalmer5497]

If I want to achieve a few of the things I want out of life I will need to get out of my comfort zone too. Congratulations on your engagement.

[@wamyy5]

Indeed - growth comes with discomfort. Let me know how it goes! Thanks so much!

[@georgepalmer5497]

I've heard people in Alcoholics Anonymous talk about how it seemed to them that everyone was having fun and doing great at life, and they were stuck in a dead end that they could not escape. I guess it is a very common feeling among people from all walks of life. In AA they call it "judging your insides by other people's outsides". .

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

And I think having a KZbin channel with 20K subscribers is pretty special too! Such a busy young girl!

Thank you!! Haha indeed busy

I wanted to be on the performing arts, be a stage director and movie producer. It all depends on your socioeconomic class. For changes I want to see a topic that shows real life . Breaking down life's difficulties without wearing rosey glasses. Life is extremely difficult for so many . Truth must be told . Contradictory facts to one's experiences should be also appreciated . Once , in a while truth about life is necessary. But, here comes a problem- controversial topic.

[@wamyy5]

@@slavvalb3933 Hi, thanks for commenting! Have you watched through my video to see what I'm trying to say? My story was real (and showed difficulties), and most people watching my videos are from 1st world countries. I'm not saying you can become the next Kobe Bryant - I'm trying to encourage people to reach their potential by doing something different with their time. In regards to my question above, many people will say "I've always wanted to learn Korean!" or "I've always wanted to learn how to dance!" and if they look at how they spend their time, they truly can go start.

Amyyy, are you a mind reader? Just today i was feeling like i need to get out of my comfort zone and when i searched on KZbin i felt as if the videos are only made for people who have completed there studies and I find it so annoying when i just watch the video thinking maybe something might help but the way youve explained everything and how you give advice based on your experience is so helpful, i feel like as if im just talking to you in person and youve got the solution for every single thing. Thank you so much for this video. I'll have to watch the video again (need to take notes) :)

I love knowing that I'm serving your needs hehe :) Thanks for your patience as I get through my video ideas list - I know you're still waiting for the one about how to stay focused!

have been watching ur new videos recently and a new subscriber but havent commented till now...just wanna say thanks amy that was really something good...i have an entrance exAM in upcoming days idk how im gonna perform as have a lots of backlog that i cant study now as i got lazy while preparing for it but this video was really inspirational and im gonna apply everything in life after 23 whatever maybe the result. really worth it 19min20 sec haha also checked out ur other channel loved the sucker song out of some...will gonna tell abt it to ppl later too proud of u

I love u sm pls don't die

[@needshelpwithprocrastination]

can you pls do a video on managing time even when u dont have a lot cus although i try to do homework in between lessons,i still have a lot at the end of the day + i have extracurriculars 4 out of 5 school days every week and when i reach home i only have 2-4 hours to maintain a relatively healthy sleep schedule + piano practice + doing sports since I've been really tired and hopefully sports can help improve my mood and things like that. also my exams are coming up so i have to study for those. my schedule is really packed and i only have a relatively free day on sunday. its really hard to balance all of this and i haven't been practicing piano. i need a lot of help. 😭😭😭

[@NotMePlease1]

That’s a great look for you. Wow

[@LaCarteRouge]

There are tons of skills I've tried learning in the past that I never got good enough to be happy with. (Perhaps I was learning the wrong way, didn't have the right environment, etc.). So breaking out of my box feels kinda pointless when the chance of success is low.

[@wamyy5]

Ah I tried also many things that didn’t work out! The point of breaking out of your box means that you can try different things until you find a “calling.” Maybe you discover something you enjoy doing for fun or you find something you can get good at. I want to show that instead of feeling like there’s more to life, the best thing to do is take action! So many of us sometimes feel lost with the mundane day to day so it helps to simply see where else you can allocate your time and energy instead of accepting the current state. This would be a different video but grit is an excellent character trait as well!

[@LaCarteRouge]

Hm, perhaps I should have clarified: there *are* things I already enjoy, but never improving at them takes away some of that enjoyment. (Example... someone who would love to get into competitive math but keeps placing last in every competition lmao.) But thanks for making this video; I think I requested this topic on the google form.

[@wamyy5]

@@LaCarteRouge Oh yes, definitely understand what you mean! I enjoy basketball too, but even though I practiced so hard, I could never be naturally aggressive enough to show my skills when it was game time. Eventually, I had to reevaluate what was the best use of my time (cut my losses). I left the basketball team junior year at Caltech to do research in Dr. Arnold's lab instead. I still played basketball but really just for fun and that was a way I could still step outside my comfort zone and fulfill my love for the game - I met great people and got exercise. For math, maybe you could try doing research in math instead because there aren't objective awards or rankings. This way, you can boost your experience/resume while still doing what you enjoy. My college consultant friend recommends research a lot to her clients. We should try and look for more effective paths to go down. Getting uncomfortable means trying different methods because there are so many possibilities in the world that you just have to find what works for you! We all have our unique set of skills and preferences so testing various methods helps you find your "sweet spot." Trying a lot at the start is important to see if "enough effort" can get you somewhere first. If not, try something else! Hope that helps! And yay glad you noticed!! I try to fulfill your requests, so I'm so happy my efforts are appreciated :D

[@wamyy5]

@@LaCarteRouge And to clarify, breaking out of the box means trying new things where yes, we cannot be good at everything, so the chance of succeeding in several things may be low. But breaking out of the box makes it possible of you to find what you *can* succeed in.

[@LaCarteRouge]

I am really enjoying this discussion :] Anyway, it's a unfortunate that we're under the presumption that people are naturally good at things and bad at others. For example, you were probably naturally better at math growing up; I assume you practiced a lot as a kid. As for myself in high school, I really leaned into band because I was naturally good at music, but my talent was only because I was raised in a musical household. I say it's unfortunate, because what about people who aren't naturally good at *anything*? Or at least the things they're interested in? They can definitely improve in relation to their own skill, but like in your basketball case, it's probably less fulfilling if you have to put in so much more effort to get significant results. (And even in the case that everyone is good at at least one thing, it still kinda limits our options for what we'd like to pursue.)
