I'm not sure what 'things' you are talking about. Is it possible that there be 'trial' classes for 'things' you may be interested in?

I have a closet full of expensive and unused art supplies from classes I singed up for which either ended disasterously or I just plain lost interest in. However, I knew that art was something I needed to persue. I ended up finding a 'survey' course which covered a different medium each class. I ended up finally discovering what I was meant to do.

I say then, keep at it. Maybe you just haven't found the right thing yet. Perhaps too being restless ang eager to perform well at something works against us.

If you can't find such introductory or trial classes, consider talking to the facilitators about the possibility of trying something before commiting to it?
