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.

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!

Someone once told me that “luck” is when preparation meets opportunity. It’s also related to the ‘Proximity Principle’.

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

Luck is not something you have, Luck is something you make out of opportunities. That is what I believe in.

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

I love how I don’t have to speed up your videos, they’re already at the perfect speed for my brain

I feel lucky to have heard about this book.

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.

We ALL love your content ❤

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.

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

Thank you Ali and the team for all the hardwork and great content you guys make for us

As an introvert person, I'd like to talk to you guys here. Can someone share something fun/inspiring stories that you have? I'm starting my youtube channel again after 2 years of avoidance. I grew up more and I became more optimistic. I believe that this time will be different but still it's a bit afraid of uploading new video haha!

Like Ali said, I'm focused on just doing great work on KZfaq. And luck will come to me. From one junior doctor in the UK to another, all the best :)

Mind Blown. Yesterday I was talking to my friend about my colleague. and I was complaining that I am no different than my colleague in terms of academics, communication and presentation, but my colleague tends to close more sales because he is very lucky. and i have witnessed his luck many many times. and i don't know why he has all those opportunities, but I don't have any of those. to find answers I have observed his personality very closely. and based on my very close observations, I would like to confirm that whatever you have mentioned in the video is 100% correct. The things you have mentioned are exactly the things that he has which make him lucky and my personality is the opposite of that. I have all the characteristics of an unlucky person that you mentioned in the video. I never saw them as contributing to my life that way.

Have subscribed this Channel in 2020 only because of one Book Club video and am always satisfied of every Book Club Video ever uploaded on Channel.

kinda off topic but i really like your set-up. The BGM and blue glow in the background is so therapeutic 😌 thanks again for the valuable information!

Thank you! I’m going to check out the book, but I am realizing I do all of these things. I knew I was lucky (blessed) and this is confirmation to keep going with this and I know more lucky opportunities are headed my way 💕

Great video! This is exactly the kind of content that you create that motivated me to subscribe to your channel in the first place. Keep it up!

Us introverts have always regarded extroverts as luck vampires or hogs. But we do and will always remember is that success is not always based on luck & privilege. How we react to and hence make use of luck heading our way is what success is based on

Ali never seems to let us down with his advice. Happy Holidays, everyone.

I AM SMILING JUST HEARING YOUR VOICE. it gives me soooo much comfort. I luv the way you talk.

Thank you, Ali! This is very inspiring and motivating.

“I am mister lucky “is my new mantra ❤Richard wiseman’s knowledge of luck has given me everything ❤it’s my new affirmation

This video had the answer to my prayers to this morning-to look more cheerful, and improve my self-perception

I needed this in the biggest way. Thanks Ali!

Richard Wiseman is amazing. Great video.

Thanks Ali forvsuch insightful discussion. This episode really reasonates with my understandings of getting lucky.

my man is actually teaching RNG manipulation in real life

Manh I've seen this footage before. I have to say Ali, the efforts that put for this channel is just amazing. ❤👌

It’s true. Luck will follow you around if you say yes to more opportunities and network. You never know what’s around the corner!

These principles will help you in the long run! Good stuff!

This is so true - speaking with people and creating more opps

I am not into Ali's whole productivity business. But I really loved this video. It's actually truelly interesting.

i really love this ali! i always see how other people are so lucky but I forget that we can be one of them too!

If there is anyone thing to characterise Ali with, its his showing up and consistency, i dream of youtube , ali abdaal is living my dream

Aren't these observations very prone to survivorship bias? These principles don't actually increase your luck, it just increase your chances of both lucky and unlucky event. Like, for example, the self proclaimed lucky people, might as well just be someone who took risk and are succesful, whereas had they failed, they are the unlucky people. Rather, the luck itself is hardly defined in the observation, imo, I'd say, wouldn't it be better to just give these lucky, neutral, and unlucky group, idk, 100 random probabilities where the outcome can be good, neutral, or bad, and have those outcome defined as lucky and unlucky. And see if the "luck" is consistent throughout. That way, the luck itself can be objectively observed rather than something subjective. Though, I believe there would hardly be any meaning to it.

I WAS LITERALLY JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS

Thanks for the recommendation. We create our own luck. It's all in our mindset. 😊

Thank you for this Ali..just what i needed❤️

Luck = preparation meeting opportunity. Yes - resilience is very important. I've been made redundant 4 times in my life. Take action and move forward and pretty soon I was working again. Luck diary is similar to gratitude diary - thankful for things/people in your life.

I feel so lucky to have found you Ali!

I recently subscribe you and I love your content❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Solid good content backed up with studies! Keep up the good work! J

Good title you chose there 👌🏻 And great video and really cool topic 🙌🏻

Thank you for this video. I notice I had some of the characteristics. Now I know what to aim for :D! Merry christmas!

Whenever i trust my intuition, it almost always turns out to be wrong. Esp. while marking answers on exams.

There is sonething so calming about your voice. Love the content🎉🎉👍🏼👍🏼

I have started reading The Psychology of Money and it is really fasinating. I have read only 15 pages. I will comment about it when I have read it completely

Fortune favours the brave!

Amazing!

This is great, but could you imagine being one of those "late bloomer" students in that study and doing poorly in school and potentially later in life all because some scientist wanted to use you as data?

Really good video thank you

its an amazing once Ali

I don't think you need to worry too much about missing lucky opportunities Ali - things seem to be going well!

This doesn't make you luckier, it changes your perception of your life to apreciate the good random things you encounter

Really enjoyed that one, keep going Ali! 😁

“Darling, luck favours the prepared.” - Edna Mode. Pretty sure she was talking about no capes but still applies here too😂

Awesome as always, thanks Ali!

I always learn something new from your videos

You are another one jumping on the psychic reading trend right now of Leo's being lucky which is why I got recommended to your channel. You used my psychic reading for subject matter but won't admit it.

Merry Christmas dude! ☺️☃️✨

Hey Ali it's nice appreciate your work and content

Thanks so much! I need this!

This is actually good. Is all of your stuff like this???

Isn't this guy from the AMAZING KZfaq channel Quirkology ? God I love this guy so much!

Thanks for the great content you make

Absolutely loved this video.

Fortune favours the bold

I’m very lucky is crazy I was thinking of this and this is showing up on my feed bazaar

You should do some podcast connected with cosmology in 2023, that would be amazing and pretty interesting for people to know more of space from you.

abhi and niyu time stamp 1:55, my fav

Hi, Ali! Thanks for the top video! Where do you bring so cool calm musiс? I will be very grateful if you advise)

Quirkology is the author of this book, I think i will buy it…

Ali you annoy me, but once you recommended Alain de Botton's book - that's why I'm grateful for this.

Thank you

What's on my iphone ft Ali abdaal... 🔥🔥?!

Great vid Ali

What to do if you are optimistic but don't follow your instincts? Or you miss your instincts in very important part of your life?

You make the best videos, no joke

I wonder if Ali will ever take off that hoodie

Very clear at 4:46 but it’s throughout

why does your video alway has background noise like the knocking sound?

This guy's glowup is one of the best I've seen, must be making him luckier

Hi I purchased the curiosity stream annual package . Can you help me figure how to get nebula signed in from the same credentials.

How to understand positive goal and negative goal? Anyone could explain with example? ❤

What happened to the studio? Is it gone?

Thank you.
