6:31 The moment you mentioned that there are people who rate themselves really low in the wheel of life, I instantly broke down in tears knowing I'm one of those people. I know objectively that life isn't as bad as it seems but there's just this never ending self doubt that I'm never going to achieve the life I want and do the things that I really love. But at the same time, that's why I keep going back to your videos to seek motivation and self belief. I will do my best to make things better and get back on the right path. Thanks Ali for always invoking inspiration for myself and others! I hope that one day I could look back again and proudly say, these videos have changed my life

"What I truly want out of life?" is one of the biggest questions plaguing me as I turn 28 on Saturday! It is funny because my entire adult life, I never once thought about moving past a simple 9-5, and trying out to live a life with complete creative and financial control.

The catalyst for me personally was when YouTube started recommending entrepreneurship videos one day to me when I was working a non-profit job. I saw other massive entrepreneurship type figures and I was like, "You can make a living online?"

Fast forward, 2 years from that point, I have started and failed at different projects. But in the process, I am building a high-skill compounded skillset that will one day hopefully set me free. Thanks for the video, Ali! Still trying to work on it everyday.

Ali just wanted to say that this video has entered my life in a great time. I had a minor mental breakdown this week on direction of where my life is going, I felt that I was doing a disservice to myself by pushing away my dreams from becoming a reality. I needed to get out of this mental rut and live the life that Im supposed to live. The material in this video consisted of great questions that I was able to use and dive deep within myself and I was able to strike gold on how I can take ownership of life. Your content never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the good work!

Loving this series!!! Thanks for sharing each concept in a straightforward way and for creating a guide where you explain step by step how to apply those frameworks. I'm really enjoying these videos.

Ali, your videos are helping to change my life!! I have been trying to navigate what I want to do for years and the relatability of you 'not wanting to go in' to work helps thousands of people realise they are not 'failing' but perhaps need to make some adjustments. You are kind, encouraging and supportive in your approach to helping all of us better ourselves and it is extremely appreciated 💛

Hi @aliabdaal this is my 1st ever comment on ypur video after silently learning and following you for years. I suggest once this series is over in order to connect all the dots you create a small guide or pdf of sorts that would always act as a guiding light for many. This series could well be a mini book as well 😊 All the Best 🥳👍❤️🙏

THANKS. Just what I needed to watch. My wife and I are administrators of our farming business and our own properties, as well as small pensions.
am almost 56, my Wife is 52. We have started saving for retirement from the farm and maybe live off rental income, I would really appreciate it if you would do a video on how to earn passive income online and retire comfortably let's say 3 million bucks.

This video is so helpful and kind of crucial for me, I think I needed this answers. Thank you Ali for this amazing detailed and meaningful video and also for this series. I am learning about myself and my own journey, and I see the process which I have never seen until this month. Self awareness and self worth are such an important things when it comes to the pathway we struggle. Thank you and I look forward the upcoming videos. 💐

Ali Abdaal is my motivation. I woke up with my scheduled calendar and task lists (thank you Ali) feeling like "Man I don't want to do this." Then I watched just 2 minutes of his video, and I just felt pumped! I feel ready to tackle building my business! So, from my heart, thank you.

This series is the best you've done Ali, following you for 5 years now, always inspiring, thanks.
Actually, the first prompt was the best for me, What's working, and what's not working - simple, and made me deal with the 'why' instead of knowing I'n not happy with this part, thanks again!

Every prompt was awesome and insightful, the best among them would be the success story activity you suggested.

I learnt a lot about myself with these activities and am working towards reaching my goals even more efficiently now. I have been watching your videos for months and every single one of them were insightful and vibing with me.

Thank You ❤

I normally would just listen to this and not actually do the exercises. This time I wrote everything down and it actually really helped and I'm feeling inspired. Thank you!

You gained a new subscriber both on this channel and your podcast channel. Great content, so much value. You seem like a genuinely helpful guy, too. Not the scammy youtuber type who's out to make quick bucks out of their viewers. Congrats on your successes, Ali.

I loved the way you put joy and fully another category, because it depends on the whole wheel left side. This also shows how deeply Ali understands about life. (Just took a moment to appreciate his thoughts)
