Acharya Prashant addresses the common question of what one should do in life and how to achieve future goals. He explains that this concern arises because people are conditioned to live life according to a pre-written script dictated by family, society, and media. This tendency to live for the future is often an escape from the present. He argues that living as if life is a pre-planned drama creates insecurity and discomfort with uncertainty. Most people follow a predictable path—education, job, marriage, and children—while constantly looking toward the future for happiness, only to die without ever truly living in the present.
