Ive tried a lot of hard stuff. There's no harm in sticking to the familiar, we're each challenging ourselves and growing.

I try new hobbies to see if I'll actually like them. Usually it's things I'm attracted to, but often it's things I'm not interested in but have the chance to try. It's about equal positives for both and I'm much more fulfilled, skilled, and happy for it. I aggressively pursue hobbies when circumstances mean I can no longer do one anymore much, or things begin to feel like they've been plateuing for a while and I'm not getting much out of it anymore.

There are things that have changed my entire lifestyle. But, to think, I could've never tried these things and subsequently never had known what would've been. There are things so hard I give up, but only for a while, and then try again, and again, and again.

One might say my primary hobby is finding fulfilling things. It seems a pretty smart way to put worth to finite time. I encourage everyone to go nuts with hobbies.
