As I grow older one of the games I played is Defence of the Ancient 2 or Dota.

I spend my whopping tonnes of hours of my life just playing this game.

This is the 5 things improve with my life after I quit playing the video games...

1. Travel More

I became a traveller when I quit playing games. I see the wonders of the world and had a lot of time for myself.

Las Vegas, USA

You cannot go anywhere if you're just sitting around in front of your TV screen playing all day. How I wish we could bring back the time and fixed all the time that I have spent in the video games.

2. Reading More Books

I became a book reader. I want to copy the mindset of the proven mentor. Many of them already died but the teaching and the learning are all in the book they have made. They don't keep it by themselves, they are sharing it. Likewise, in this blog. I am sharing it with you so we learn as well. We may benefit some from my experienced. Reading a book also started me with the mindset how entrepreneur really thinks. It opens up a lot of things on me.

3. Lots of time for Families

My wife will not again jealous because of playing video games. She tells me I don't give my precious time on her. Sometimes, it leads us to some arguments and quarrel. Lots of time are wasted just for playing, time is more important than money. Money can earn but lost time cannot be brought back.

4. Work out in the Gym

Researching about the program and dietary supplements is a way to go for the best result in the gym. Quitting the video games gives me a lot of benefits in my body. An hour or two in the gym gives me so much improvement in physical and mental health than just only staring all day at the TV screen.

5. Started blogging with the help of Steemit

What do I know about writing and blogging? With a help of steemit community and "You" who read it and support each other blog post, it was made all possible. I read other people articles and their advice and man I am telling you most of this are effective and very worth the time to learn. There maybe a wobbling at first but you catch it up sooner as you continue doing it with passion and love.

Conclusion

Playing video games is not bad at all just do it with moderation. Playing is not bad, in my opinion, but it wasn't the best thing to do either. This activity can so much addictive because it can suck you in their dimension. It far worst than watching TV all day and drinking alcohol if you get very addicted to it. Spending 12-14 hours a day, I may say that it was a ridiculously extreme problem. Every time you play, you want to become better than before, that never really happen in reality. I hope this article is useful for everyone especially who spend all of their precious life only for playing video games.
