How to Figure Out What You Really Want in Life

Which of the prompts was your favourite and what did you learn about yourself in the process?

This series showing up in my life at the exact right time , I just graduated from engineering, and I realized that I don’t want to work as an engineer .I feel like I’ve spent my life doing things that drain me Thank you Ali ♥️ I’m applying all of the exercises you spoke about in this video

I admire your dedication to not popping that pimple lol.

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.

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.

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!

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 💛

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.

Just another person saying Thank you Ali Your videos make me really think, you say things that are hidden in my mind and help me understand myself better. Thank you so much

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)

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.

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!

THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO ON THE INTERNET ON WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO DO. I am a confused young adult and was trying to figuring it out and now I know. Thank you so much Ali!

Hi Ali! Just wanted to thank you for this video! I’m feeling lost for a year now and trying to find my way and what I want from life. Like you, I’m in the medical field. I’m a last year medical student and I totally feel you when you said those things about yours, because that’s exactly how I’m feeling right now and why I probably clicked on this video! So just wanted to thank you! Keep with the good work 🫶🏻

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 look forward to sharing this series with my high school students. I'm hoping it gives them the perspective they need to start to set goals and really think about what makes them happy, not everyone around them. Thank you, Ali, for being such an awesome human being!

Breaking down imitating desires has been the biggest part of my journey. This is a very hard part, because the truths/identities that come up with the answer to what I want ,are intertwined with childhood conditioning and later socialising. Disconnecting from the sense of self (Buddhist practice), has helped to identify the rise of the imitating desires and the energy audit has been the most sincere excercise after that. Good content. Thanks!

came here to say thank you because this video series is coming at the perfect time as I've just graduated from my undergrad and need help figuring things out. also, luckily found your book in my local bookstore in Pakistan and immediately ordered it so super excited to read it!

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. 💐
