Acharya Prashant addresses the fear of leaving tasks unfinished by stating that there is no need to be afraid of leaving something midway; if a task is useless, it is better to abandon it. The decision to continue or quit a task should depend solely on its merit. He refutes the logic of continuing on a path just because one is close to a false destination or has invested a lot of time in it. He suggests that leaving such paths is better than what most people do, which is to get "set" on a path and never change. The speaker explains that everyone has the right to correct their mistakes, and this is about comparative betterment. The teaching "finish what you start" is only applicable when the task is worth finishing. Otherwise, it is better to leave it as soon as one realizes its futility, without feeling any guilt. He encourages the questioner to become a "runaway" from worthless tasks, comparing it to waking up and starting the day even if one has slept in late, rather than deciding to sleep the whole day. He further explains that for a person on an upward journey of consciousness, it is natural to outgrow past decisions. The fact that old choices no longer seem right is an auspicious sign of growth. Such a person is constantly being reborn and launching a new version of themselves, so they cannot stick to any old routine, job, or relationship. The only thing that needs to be taken to the end is the journey of betterment itself. If one is on a continuous journey of ascent, their past decisions will naturally become redundant, which is a matter of celebration, not shame or regret. Finally, Acharya Prashant advises the questioner to choose his next venture with full awareness and discretion, but to remain prepared to improve upon that decision later. This need for change is a positive and auspicious sign of growth. He emphasizes that if a person is truly evolving, it is certain that their past decisions will seem small and need to be left behind.
