Hi im lost
Why haven't you kept the different audio track ......THOSE TRACK HELP US A LOT 😢😢
where's your orbituary?
Come now. The only way to find yourself is to return to where it all began. Submit. Admit we are powerless in the grand scheme of things :)
,⅔d
😊
Ali posting it right when you feel it..
I feel it now 🥲
same
Same 😵💫
" Allah (God) invites you to the abode of Peace and guide whom he wills to a Straight Path "
verse 25 surah-Yunus
the HOLY QURAN
(Yunus is a prophet by the way 😅)
mark my words guys " the moment you start reading the Quran is the moment you start living , every mystery will be revealed , and every single question about everything in life and after-life will be answered , and once you open your eyes on the beautiful truth ,then you are the happiest person on earth , your life begins "
Peace and Love ❤
@@salimmahieddine8039mashaelah bro ❤
Beautiful lessons, brilliant editing -- it's a complete package, Ali!
And to anyone reading this, good luck and let's make 2024 our own!
That's right,bros👊🏾
I say that every year to myself. And keep watching UA-cam videos
Thanks, the same goes to you two bros
🙏🏼🫶🏼❤️
Hi there! How are you doing? 🙏🏼@@melinegg5583
It's almost a miracle how you posted the this video the moment I felt like this. I've been feeling lost for the last couple weeks and I've been feeling down about it. Thank you very much, Ali.
you feel lost in life because you do not know what is this all about , you do not have a vision , you do not have a purpose, even if you are super productive you still don't know where would all this end , what is the next step , what is the next level , what is THE TRUTH .
every single question about everything will be answered if you read the Quran , and I challenge you if you won't be the happiest person on earth after reading it , every mystery would be revealed , and everything will be clear , that's when you will start living .
peace and love ❤
@@salimmahieddine8039 I'm sorry but, I'm actually a Muslim. I always try to be a better one and I'll always keep on trying. Don't know why you though I wasn't.
that's beautiful , I wish you all the best
I thought so because everyone that's not muslim is really lost deep inside .
listen to this man's Quran recitation and you will feel better (Haitham el-dokhin)
his voice is a miracle .
Peace
I do try to read 2 pages of the quran everyday , but i still have that sense of being lost ! When i translate to understand the meaning of what i'm reading . It talks about what gods command us to do or stories of the prophets, but it doesn't really answer to that life mission . I do know we are on earth to serve god , but as what you should be doing to make a living or anything else it is not helpful to me . Do you have any tips ? @@salimmahieddine8039
I've been feeling lost for the past 4 Years

By the way, thanks, I appreciate your summary.❤
Thankyou❤
I just realised how lucky and privileged I am to have the freedom and opportunities to choose a life path that aligns with my authentic self. Yes, it's overwhelming and sometimes painful to feel lost. But ultimately, it is a privilege. Many, many people will never have the time or the money or the energy or simply the opportunities to do that. Thank you Ali for asking brilliant questions :)
I followed your advice a few months ago and started my own website. I have found a passion for supporting others through sharing my thoughts on the many books and articles I read. I am now going to follow your advice one more time and sit down with my thoughts and your prompts. Your videos (and your book) are helping me become a better person. Thanks for the gift of clarity Ali!
From fixing people's physical health to mental health, a doctor never gives up. Kudos to you for this initiative!💯
The reason why we feel lost is because we think too much and experience too little
I’m the opposite, I used to feel lost cause I didn’t think about where I was going, just sort of living in cruise control, going where ever life pushes
All I did was experience and not think
My hand is happily hurting from actually pausing and doing the journal prompts. I usually just watch these videos and answer them in my mind…. But this one convicted me to do the journaling on-the-spot… and I am so grateful I chose to. My North Star has more clarity and I feel the magic of manifesting with handwriting. Now I am excited to continue the series and complete the prompts. This is, and you are, a gem in this world.
Well explained. Thank you for bringing up this video. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject ..... Thanks to Gianna Everett the lady you recommended.....
As of last week I counted on $5,000 but don't just know how to diversify it.
Investing appropriately today can save you a whole lot of stress in the near future, so anyone who is not investing now is missing a great Opportunity.
That's true, I can't imagine the profits people are making daily by just trading.
Please I'm new to this, how can I get her assistance??
SHE'S MOSTLY ON TELEGRAMS WITH THE BELOW NAME
I like your recent development. It feels almost like an antithesis to your earlier videos. While you were looking to save time in order to... (I guess make more money?) you seem to be on a journey of finding value in your life outside of that.
It is an interesting path, and I see myself somewhat in it. I am curious where it takes us.
This is one of my favorite videos you have done. The video was only 23 minutes but I literally took 2hrs this morning to think deeply and respond to your prompts. I found it incredibly insightful and meaningful. Thank you for this. I can't wait for the next video
Im grateful for finding your channel. Ive been struggling with finding my purpose and implementing change for years and now at 27 im finally ready to take considerable steps to better myself and help others around me. Thank you for doing what you do. One Love.
I really loved this video, I made it to the end even though it took me a few hours because I kept stopping to think and hand wrote 4x A4 pages of responses to the prompts. I've felt really lost the past few years. As a high achiever in school and university I thought I wanted the "typical corporate career", working my way up to some kind of management role that would be secure and make me a comfortable living, because that's what I was told "smart" people do. But my life drastically shifted when I realised I in fact do not want that, and I have no idea what I really want, but I always thought I couldn't make a career based around my passions. This video really got me thinking about what I want and why, and I just want to say that I really truly value this content for how much it helps people. I'm 23 and I know that thinking about these things at this age is so powerful because it gives me hope that I can build the life I dream about. So thank you Ali :)
I’m turning 32 and I resonate with how you feel
I'm a twenty-three years-old girl too and I feel you so much. After a very focused academics-based start in life, I am now feeling completely lost and scared of what will happen if I follow my passions.
i really really like this calmer, very personal feely kinda talking/video style. also this content is is so, so valuable, thank you.
I’m training as a Psychotherapist, and there’s a lot made of the ‘therapeutic alliance’ in other words if you feel comfortable with the therapist success is more likely regardless of therapeutic modality used (much more to it than this just being very brief!) but relevance to here is that with all the content that is out there and often it’s the same thing said but repackaged, different aesthetic, academic, informal etc, I tend to listen to people I feel connected to it’s how, in part our species has evolved through co-development and sharing. With Ali I feel same way, there’s a sense with him of wanting to genuinely help, understanding of vulnerability, and subjectivity of human experience. His advice is always sincere and for the betterment of others. Best wishes Ali with everything!
You are still saving people’s lives…through teaching. Thank you for your information and thought provoking content❤
I really needed to see this. I already decided what I want to do with my life, but I often become distracted by more prestigious and lucrative paths that I know won't ultimately fulfill me.
Ali, I feel like your videos became much more genuine, and caring. I connect with them much more than I did in the past. I wanted to like this video three times, every time forgetting that I have already done so. Thank you for everything you do!
The audiotrack in different languages and your own voice is a real game changer. Thank you @AliAbdal. I live in Germany and now my learnings from your videos comes so much easier and deeper. That's great! Keep it up!
Thanks for this video Ali. I have been feeling lost for quite a while and I am making steps towards figuring stuff out but it is an up and down path so far.. The last week was one that I felt completely out of it and going nowhere.. My girlfriend saw your video and forward it to me. And that was a great gift.
The way you approached the topic with all the different angles helped me to get some more clarity and prioritise ideas I have in my head.
Looking forward to the next one on the mini series!
Thank you for this. I realized that I haven't been connected to my creative self for the past few months, and it caused me to feel lost in my professional endeavors because I forgot where my true passions lie. I lost focus in my own dream because I'm chasing after the next big thing. Thank you for the redirection, it helped me immensely:)
Thank you man, you've made a great impact in my life. I'm 20 years old, have just graduated out of college, and have no clear direction with life. After watching your videos, everything become more clearer now, you really are a sincere and helpful person. I hope you in a good health, and happy with your life. I wish you achieve all the things you want to achieve.
I found this video at the right time when I felt so lost as I got laid off 3 weeks ago, Unbale to find a new job, and trying to figure out what I wanted to do in life. Watching this video made me realize I have all the answers in my head. Thank you so much Ali.
Thanks Ali! I did the prompt exercise with the video, and it gave me some answers I have been trying to find. I would recommend everyone to do exercise with pausing and continuing the video, that will leave you sense if achievement at end of video rather than going through all prompts after video. Kudos to everyone! love.
Hey Ali just did this exercise, just want you to know, you’re on my list of people I admire. Thank you!
It's really a perfect time to watch this video, since I feel that I am losing my way on life. Thank you for making this video, it helps me a lot. Good luck!!
Thank you for providing valuable content as always Ali. Goodluck everyone! Let's crush it this year! 💪
Anxiety ridden to a crippling, self-destructive extent since I can remember, I have been very much lost. Until I happened upon and watched this series and can suddenly see some sort of clarity and hope. Possibly the best UA-cam video(s), and career/ambition advice period, I've ever seen. Have to say, Ali, your presentation style is a breath of fresh air: so decent, down to earth, accessible and relatable. Thank you.
I've been following you for years and it's only now that your videos are resonating to my inner self. I loved your series on time management and binge watched that series and am absolutely loving this series. The obituary had me bawling quite honestly! Fabulous tips will totally be doing them this weekend!
One thing help me to figure out what I want is self awareness, this takes time and you have to experience a lot in order to know what are your values/strength/weakness and from that you can start navigating
Second thing is to accept being lost don't fight it, the vesion will get clearer slowly and being lost is what drive us to move forward and try new things
Thank you Ali and all team who was behind this
Love your work Ali, strange enough I am at that place as we speak! Lost, not knowing what else to do, but that feeling of wanting to do more & be more is getting stronger and stronger…..Perfect timing for to have this series on my feed….❤️❤️❤️❤️
God bless you! You are putting the world in the right track of true happiness through Love
I am looking forward to the upcoming videos on this series. Love it! Thanks, Ali!
Ali brother I believe in signs i am in a part of my life where i am trying to figure specifically this in my life and juat few days before i realised that I need to figure out what i really want to do. And here today i am seeing this video. I just needed this something a framework to work on so that i can knoe about me more.
Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you ❤
Thank u sooooo much Ali, Im finally sure about my passion,
I just really got surprised, that u have posted it 7 days ago, thanks god, how lucky am I
Thank u soooooo much again
You have been such a huge help in my life, Ali! Your videos always guide and inspire me, thank you 😊
❤❤❤ every video you make for us is so helpful and precious
This video is great Ali, thank you ! Anyone who enjoyed this I highly recommend a book called “the 7 habits of highly effective people” it’s got a philosophy very similar to the one Ali uses in this video. It really helped me personally with finding purpose with different exercises and it would go perfect with this video, especially if you apply the concepts (which is the key part).
Thank you so much for your effort that puts into the content. That’s exactly what I need to hear now
I’ve needed this video for a really long while and I’m very grateful that when I opened my UA-cam today and your video was at the top, I finally have the answer that I’ve been looking for 😊 Thank you for making this video
By far the best prompts to finding your why and what. Your questions gave me a much better way to explain what I want to do for others.
I was pleasantly surprised with how helpful this video was. Thanks, Ali
Beautiful video and great pacing! Currently reading your book as well. Thank you for all the value you bring to your audience!
This video is precious to me, thank you Ali ❤
This is exactly what I need right now. Thank you
"How to get a clear direction in life" would be a more fitting title in my opinion.
Really interesting video, I'm gonna take some time to answer the questions and I'm looking forward for the rest of the series 🙏
This is gold, thank you ❤
Thank you ali, not just for the youth; even a midlife crisis can be resolved with these reflective/deep thoughts on becoming and engaging.
17:02 why does it seem like Ali types faster than the guy speaks?Unbelievable.
Brilliantly put together. Thank you.
I'm grateful for your videos always presented in an inspirational and accessible way.
Loved it, exactly what I needed ❤
THis was such a good video. I've written all of the questions down and will work on them constantly and revisit them. Great video.
Thank you for these prompts. ALSO thank you for giving examples as to what the answers could look like for these prompts! It is super helpful!
Ali this video was brilliant. I really needed it! Excellent timing! Very helpful to me.
Smashing out the content as always compadre - love it! 🫡
I've been scrolling past this video on my recommedations but now I am here because I needed it most. The one time UA-cam was actually pushing me to watch and I did and now I'll be doing these exercises in the next couple of days. Thanks, Ali!
Thank you so much for this! I really needed your video! Loved it! Been procrastinating on reading Design Your Life and you really helped! Have a great '24 💖🎉
I've been watching your channel for some years now, and this video (and hopefully the whole series) is really something else. You've produced a lot of awesome content, (I kinda miss some tech reviews. I bought the uniball pen because of you, haha) but this one is really another level. I'm reading your book, it's fun to see how all the research and preparation to organize your thoughts around the theme are finding more ways out.
Thanks for the amazing work you do. Cheers!!
Excellent episode! Looking forward to the next one, and thank you!
Loved it. I will definitely try. Oh also wanted so say I love you Ali you and your work matter ❤
thank you for your work. I truly appreciate this. looking forward to the next few videos.
Just wanna give you a huge hug. This is what I wanted as of now ❤
Thank for the breakdown of something I have been feeling for the past year working my dream job, thought I would love it but have been feeling lost ever since I got as I dint have a "whats next" planned into that dream, keep up with the amazing and inspiring videos!
I have been feeling this exactly!
thank you Ali! I am a big fan of your videos :) I especially thank you for the reminders to not take it too seriously!
I am feeling like this now- you read my mind
Thank you! I really liked this format!
I’m close to graduating in public health and have two options of going for RN after or PA. Tbh im leaning towards PA more since I dove into the world of nursing a little bit (some CNA,military exposure etc…)
This is inspiring because as I grow older I’m transitioning from not just a learner but I wanna become a better leader to people. Thank you for the pick me up, I can’t wait to read your book. (Sry bad text rush typing from iPhone lol)
I'm very much inspired by you. I wish to make UA-cam video like you one day innshaAllah. I have learned many things through this channel and it impacted my life in a good way.
One of your best so far!! Really enjoyed it!! Keep going ❤
That was deep. Got the questions will try to answer as much as I can. You gained a new subscriber.
I watch it while I'm writing it. It's inspiring. Thank you.
This video really touched me ❤ Thank you so much ❤️
Another looong Ali Abdaal vid... Just love it 🎉❤

incredible Ali. Thank you.❤
Thank you so much! This is amazing. ❤
unbelievable but exactly what i needed right now and what i was searching for... thanks for reading my mind and helping me out with this videos :)
TO DO GOOD FOR OTHERS is my "Meaningful Mission" (Thank you Lewis Howes and his book 'The Greatness Mindset")
I wrote my answers. A useful chat with myself. Thanks for organizing this video!
Thank you @aliabdaal for this video, I am feeling lost since 2017 I think... I don't know what to do, where to RESTART, how to get out of the rut, along with all these thoughts, I believe I have ADHD or may be I am just Lazy AF! at 36 years old, I think I have very less time left to make a change, this thought pushes me back and forces my brain to think to stay in my lane and keep grinding in the tech world, I do not understand anything about it but still I am going on in it! I dont know I am just blabbering at this point... Thank you,I will follow along this series and I will try my best to self reflect... Already started journaling too from one of your previous videos!
Exactly what I needed bro ❤❤❤
Ali - This was an incredibly valuable video. Thank you!
Exactly I needed this video today..thanks Ali
Oh god I really needed this. Thank you!
This helps me so much!❤ thank you for this video
This really impacted me in such an incredible way. Thank you. ❤
This video couldn't have come at a better time🙏
So Grateful, Thank you for the effort and Time you have put in to this Incredible video
Awesome video, Ali! You are an inspiration 💚🙏
Thanks Ali. Really inspiring ❤
Thank you so much for this! 💜
Thanks Ali. Very helpful questions. Right now I feel like I want to have a note book, quite place and just keep writing the answers of those questions. Ahhh..then it takes time to filter and have more clarity about the coming steps. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Ali for your Great work !!
beautiful stuff as always!
