      I know you are a good youtuber, Please read my suggestion which is for you:-Bro life after death (☠️) is important,I mean achieve as high as you can in this life,But don't forget Allah,And also prepare for life after death. Because life is average~ 60 and after death you live(infinite).You can take the Example of Dr Hussain Abdul Sattar. Please consider my Suggestion.Thank You.
      By MY Mentor:Dr Husain Abdul Sattar (Pathoma).

      @Rahul Salwan that's so cool! don't let anything stop you. if i were to tell something to my 13y/o self, don't stop even if you don't get popular with your website, or not many are using it. you'll always learn something on the way and don't stop till you get enough :-)

    The problem with the gravestone thinking is that it’s all about how other people view us, but we’re the ones who have to live our lives.

    My summary of this video with my own flavour added:
    # Gravestone technique
    - (Who are you) what do you want written on your gravestone
    - e.g. good dad, good teacher, good husband (what your doing now should align to that goal somehow not go against that)
    - (What kind of person are you) what will different people say about you at your funeral?
    - Friends might talk about character at your funeral. This question is NOT about achievements
    - (What do you want to have achieved) What do you want mentioned on your biography
    - This one's about achievements and accolades.
    # The Odyssey Plan Technique
    - what would life look like 5 years from now if I continued down the same path? What one day in 5 years would look like?
    - If I took a different path then how the answers above look like? If money, what people think, society expectations didn't matter, then what would life look like?
    - If your path is depressing you, maybe you can change it. If you're content, don't need to change it.
    # Ideal Ordinary Week Technique
    - Think of you Ordinary Week, aka your usual week (no holidays etc)
    - Make it more ideal
    - e.g. 8 AM, wake up, 8-9 morning routine, then reading, then work, then friends etc.....
    - Ask yourself, why can't you make your ideal week your week NOW. See ways if you can change it.

    I tried with the Gravestone Technique and nothing relevant came to my mind, then I realized that maybe the ordinary things that I think are not relevant , are exactly the most important things about being alive. It is not necessary to have an incredible plan for my life , just the fact to experience, breathe and share with my loved ones, live day by day and enjoy the immensity of nature, It's itself the objective of my life.

  • @SkyNikodell
    @SkyNikodell 3 роки тому

    Id say the gravestone technique is kind of superficial as it has to do with what other peoples will think, or how other people will regard you. I'd rather say that the gravestone technique should be about what you yourself would value in your life (memento mori), basically - Is this something id regret on my deathbed or something I'd be proud of.
    For me, I use this quite often when working hard at a job I dont quite enjoy or when im studying just a BIT too much: "If I stay doing this and go spend time with my GF, drink a beer or call my pops, will this be something ill regret on my deathbed? Probably not - puts things into perspective!"
    Great video as usual Ali :)
