    1. Try things, talk to people 2. Use your intuition, trust your gut 3. Optimism, virtuous circle 4. Perseverance, resilience
  • The more I work on my mental health, the more I realize it's the base of literally everything. Working on my attachment style, my anxiety, etc. which are all intermingled, it made me more secure, confident, step outside my comfort zone more and more, more chance encounters, more meeting people and more opportunities for fun. "luck" For people who had the personality + upbringing to be secure and relaxed in life, are already set up. For those of us who had to work on it, and continue to work on it every single day, it's possible, it's not easy ohhhh it's not easy, but it's possible.

    Someone once told me that ā€œluckā€ is when preparation meets opportunity. Itā€™s also related to the ā€˜Proximity Principleā€™.

    Coincidentally, the four principles listed in this video are the core of nurturing Mental Toughness. Mindset matters!

    Been subscribed to Ali's channel for over two years and I must say this channel has been the greatest ROI on my time. It really is just so amazing how he distills concepts so easily! Thanks Ali and team!
  • Luck is not something you have, Luck is something you make out of opportunities. That is what I believe in.
  • @jememe5209
    I love how I donā€™t have to speed up your videos, theyā€™re already at the perfect speed for my brain
  • @nul4327
    i love how good quality ali abdaal's vids are. i mean how its concise, straigt to the point and easily understandable, plus he uploads pretty regularly! i appreciate ur channel man
  • How I see it, people are more "lucky" if they have more opportunities. By doing more and challenging yourself more, you get more opportunities and thus have more lucky moments but equally unlucky moments you set yourself over.
  • Thank you Ali and the team for all the hardwork and great content you guys make for us
  • @kriatannie181
    I AM SMILING JUST HEARING YOUR VOICE. it gives me soooo much comfort. I luv the way you talk.
  • @anahinata28
    Thank you, Ali! This is very inspiring and motivating.
  • I feel bad for the students who were told to be late bloomers just for the sake of survey. I hope they are doing well in life
  • @AnaLucia262
    Setting goals also makes you keep track of your progress which is really valuable. Tracking helps evaluate your own behavior and adjust/do more of what is working.
  • @sliceofamber
    kinda off topic but i really like your set-up. The BGM and blue glow in the background is so therapeutic šŸ˜Œ thanks again for the valuable information!
