Acharya Prashant addresses the fear of results by explaining that the concept of a 'result' is a programmed idea whose definition can be altered. He uses an analogy: people anticipate the 30th of the month because that is when the paycheck arrives, making the date important, not any intrinsic value of the date itself. If one were paid daily, the 30th would lose its special significance. We start thinking as if the 30th is a special date with intrinsic value, but what makes it important is the event associated with it. To counter this, he advises changing the definition of the result. One should tell oneself that success consists of excelling at every point in the process. Instead of being worried about merely the last point, one should recognize that there are many points in the process. Success is determined daily; if you did well today, you have succeeded. The celebration is inherent in the act of doing well, without needing a separate event. This requires de-programming the mind, which has been trained by biology and society to focus only on the endpoint. One must educate oneself to see the importance of the entire chain, where every step is as crucial as the last. The speaker asserts that the last point doesn't truly exist; all that exists is the here and now, where one has the capacity to act and change things. You cannot decide what happens on the 30th, but you can decide what happens today. Therefore, your success and failure lie in the present moment's actions. He further illustrates this with the analogy of climbing a mountain: a serious climber focuses on their next step, not the distant peak. Those who only look at the peak and fantasize about it will never reach it; they are more likely to fall. If you are truly honest about your goal, you will stop thinking about it and simply work. Thinking about the goal is often a way to enjoy the thought without doing the necessary work.
