Acharya Prashant addresses the fear of results by explaining that the concept of a 'result' is a programmed one, and its definition can be changed. He uses the analogy of a monthly paycheck, where the 30th of the month becomes significant only because the paycheck arrives on that day. By itself, the date holds no intrinsic value. If one were to get paid daily, the 30th would lose its special importance. This illustrates that the value we attach to a future result is a mental construct. To overcome the fear of the final outcome, he advises redefining success. Instead of viewing success as a single event at the end of a process, one should see it as excelling at every point along the way. If a process has thirty steps, there are thirty opportunities for success. This means success is determined daily; if you perform well today, you have succeeded. The celebration is inherent in the act of doing well itself, eliminating the need for a separate, future celebration. This shift in perspective requires de-programming the mind, which has been conditioned by biology and society to focus solely on the endpoint. One must educate oneself to value the entire chain of actions, as each step is as crucial as the last. The only thing within one's control is the present moment—the here and now. You cannot decide what will happen on the 30th, but you can determine your actions today. Therefore, your success or failure is decided in the present. He further elaborates using the metaphor of climbing a mountain. To reach the peak, one must focus on the immediate step. Those who are serious about the climb keep their eyes on where they are placing their feet. Conversely, those who only gaze at the distant peak, lost in imagination, will likely stumble and never reach their destination. The key is to be honest and sincere about the goal, which translates into focusing on the work at hand rather than worrying about the future.
