1. What would I do if money were no object?/ What would I do to serve the world with my skills if I had all the money in the world
2. What do I want the people I serve/my colleagues, family and friends to say at my funeral? Am I living in alignment with that?
3. If I were to repeat the things I have done this week for the next 10 years where would I end up?
4. What have done in the last two weeks that has energized me and that was drained me? How do I make my life more energizing?
5. The wheel of life check in. With a tenth category called joy.
6. Odyssey plan. What would my life look 5 years from now if I took a completely different path? What would my life look like 5 years from now if I would not care about money and what people thought?
7. What is the goal and what is the bottleneck?
8. Do you work for your business or does your business work for you?
9. If I knew I was gonna die 2 years from now what would I do with my time? What of those things can I just do now?
..
So excited to try them!

3:54 At your funeral I would say this. But it is an understatement, without exaggeration I think you have been the most influential person in my life. I have been following you since the beginning and the changes in my lifestyle and life purpose have been transformed ever since.

These actually are enormous. Adding these to my journaling routine. Thanks, Ali!

The first question, btw, especially the follow up is HUGE! It is very much similar to the concept of Ikigai which is a life changing concept for me.

[AnaJuma]

My journaling mentor Kay Adams says that "The journal is like the moon, emitting a magnetic tug that draws information from our unconscious and subconscious minds and brings it to the surface, where you can work at the conscious level." Love how you're spreading journaling as a practice for mental clarity and personal growth, Ali! Yes to more videos on journaling. 🙂

Journaling no matter the area has always been useful to me. Gym routine, school, expenses, trading journal. You can sleep thought free at night. I recommend everyone to do it

[Hamza]

18:02 massive congrats. Seen you get more and more into fitness these last few years, so proud of you mate

[nartsprt]

You could be good at what you do, but unless you're asking the right questions, you won't end up where you want to be in life. That's why journalling is so powerful.

Unexpectedly, this brought tears to me coming to the end of video. All inspiring prompts, but what’s also inspiring and soul-touching to see you actually living in those prompts! Thank you for being here. And by choosing to bravely being yourself, and becoming yourself, you are lifting all of us with you!❤

Ali, I love you! Since coming across your channel, you have helped me discover and reimagine myself and although I am a work in progress... you have opened my mind to thinking in a completely different and better way. If you were here, I would give you a huge hug and tell you thank you for your sage wisdom. Please keep doing what you do!!

[Matt.Riley]

Ali, god bless you man. I think this is exactly what I needed to watch and hear right now. I’ve been doing lots of great things in the context of my life in the last 8 months but struggled with motivation in lots of areas recently. I listened to this running and instead of stopping after 10 mins like I had planned to, I went through the whole thing and realise I need journaling in my life to keep me continually asking myself important questions to focus on my life goals.

[A.Montgomery]

Wow, this is by far my fav vidoe of yours! And yes, your energy has changed so much for the better - that's what I call success!

[LouiseUsher]

Journalling is incredibly powerful, you are right! I have been writing for years and I spend a couple of hours each day writing from the heart first and then scripting after - and I love it. This video is so fantastic, thank you :)

[magro]
