well what happens is that I have  been feeling weird these days
45
433740
7320
07:24
I wake up every day and do the same thing  over and over again every single day
46
444060
6960
07:33
I wake up take a shower have breakfast get  ready to leave arrive here have lunch and leave  
47
453480
7980
07:43
then I get home greet my wife play with  my children have dinner and go to sleep
48
463440
6960
07:53
and then the next day I wake up again and  do the same things over and over again
49
473460
7020
08:02
and don't get me wrong I love my family  I love them so much but I don't know  
50
482940
7560
08:12
I feel my life is empty right now and I feel  terrible for that sorry for telling you all this  
51
492300
8100
08:22
you're probably thinking this dude is  a horrible person how can he say that
52
502200
6540
08:31
no absolutely not I was thinking that I was not  the only one who went through that situation  
53
511560
8760
08:42
seriously why do you say that did  you go through something similar
54
522000
6180
08:51
yeah some years ago it was a hard time  I fell into a depression it was horrible
55
531120
7920
09:01
I feel like I was doing nothing for my  life the same routine the same duties
56
541260
6660
09:10
I was working really hard to get money to buy  the same things every month and I wasn't happy
57
550980
7020
09:20
wow I totally feel you I'm  feeling the same way you did then
58
560700
5460
09:30
and what did you do how did you overcome  this difficult situation tell me
59
570420
7800
09:40
I also talked to a person who went through  that situation and then he told me something
60
580800
7140
09:50
so I'm gonna tell you exactly the same thing  he told me when I explained him my situation
61
590340
7320
10:00
Kevin it's normal to have that feeling when  we start doing something we get excited
62
600180
7380
10:09
but then with the time you get bored of  doing the same thing over and over again
63
609960
6660
10:19
and we think we need to change our  life and do something totally different
64
619980
6660
10:29
and that is not correct sometimes all we need  is to make the same thing but in a different way
65
629880
7680
10:39
and to evaluate if you really need a change  or just to do it differently think about it
66
639840
7500
10:49
after he told me that I did it I evaluated doing  the same things in a different way and it worked  
67
649860
7920
10:59
one day I didn't wake up at 7am I just  slept for two more hours it was amazing  
68
659760
7800
11:09
of course I had told my boss before  there's no need to be irresponsible
69
669240
6060
11:19
sometimes all we need is a break to  stop for a moment and evaluate our life
70
679020
7500
11:29
so maybe your life is not horrible  maybe you just need a break Mr Coleman
71
689160
7080
11:38
I think you're right I haven't thought  about that before but it kind of makes sense
72
698880
7140
11:49
I will do that I'm going to ask for a day  off tomorrow and I will do something I love
73
709140
7320
11:58
I will go to the beach and I will swim I  love doing that thank you very much Gary
74
718860
6840
12:08
