Questioner (Q): Pranaam Acharyaji! I’ve been living my life completely confined to the four walls of the house, and I didn’t realize for a very long time the impact it has been having on me. It is only after seeing your videos and then, reflecting on the way I’m living my life, seeing the consequences of it, I can see how bad my life is now.
I have left most of the household tasks to create time for myself, to get into new things, but I’m not able to do it. I want to learn so many things and I’m not able to do it. I mostly see myself as a failure. (questioner getting emotional and weeping).
I am trying many things that are coming my way. I keep exploring, but I’m not able to go deeper into anything. I feel I’ve wasted a lot of time, and I’m not able to improve myself.
Acharya Prashant (AP): Even these tears are an improvement. Even these tears are an improvement. See, you shouldn’t underestimate your odds.
Q: My doing is very little. There are thoughts, but not doing.
AP: I understand. When you say doing, what you mean is tangible progress, right? You’re talking of the ground that you’re covering against your challenges, right? But why do you underestimate the challenge you’re facing?
