You can't expect your life to change if you're refusing to change. You need to actually make an effort if you want to make progress. That's why you should stop moping around and start creating the life you've always wanted to live. Here are a few things that won't happen unless you put in effort:
You can't expect a stranger to walk up to you, ask you out, and live happily ever after with you. If you have a crush, then you should flirt with him. Let him know you like him.
You need to fill out job applications in order to be considered for a position. Even if you don't think you're qualified, it can't hurt to try to land your dream job.
You can't travel the world when you're broke. You need to put in effort in the workplace, so that you have the cash to live out your dreams.

You can't lose weight by sitting on the couch. You need to get up and exercise, and you need to change your diet and start eating healthier.
We're not born as amazing makeup artists. If you want your eyebrows and liner to look good, then you need to practice in front of the mirror until you get it right.

You won't graduate unless you actually attend class and pay attention while you're sitting in that class. A diploma requires you to put in work.
If you want new friends, then you need to be social. Smile at strangers and start up conversations with them.
If you want good grades, you need to study. You can't forget to do your homework or answer questions in class, either.
You can try to win the Powerball, but it probably won't happen. If you want to make money, then you need to work hard at whatever job you're lucky enough to have.
If you want to live for a long time, you need to make annual doctor's appointments. Get check ups, even if you think you feel fine.
If you want to get a promotion, you need to show your boss that you're willing to put in effort that others aren't. Otherwise, you'll never get a raise or a better position.
You can't get followers on social media unless you remember to make constant updates, follow others back, and keep your account interesting.
The older you get, the harder it is to learn a language. That means that you'll need to spend a lot of time studying if you want to be bilingual.

It doesn't matter if you want to play the piano or the guitar. Either way, you need to practice plenty if you want to sound heavenly.
Relationships require a whole lot of effort. If you don't go out of your way to make your boyfriend happy, then he probably won't turn into your husband.
You won't be able to buy a fancy car or a new iPhone, unless you make enough money for them. If you work hard, it'll pay off.
Happiness won't magically come to you if you wait for it long enough. It's up to you to create a life that makes you happy. It's all in your hands.
If you put in effort, then any of these things are possible! What's your main goal at the moment?
